Just afew questions... (4.00 / 2)

With how many different photos of random coffee-bean "arrangements" will this work?

We are told there's a face hidden, so we find it?

Is everyone seeing the same face?

I don't see a face after staring at this things for about 5mn. What kind of a face is it? Like a simple smiley, or a real face with 3d features? Where are the eyes?

It's a real face, not a "face shape" made by an arrangement of the beans.

Same here. Barbara is giving me a hard time about it.

Everyone is seeing the same face. It is the size of 1 coffee bean.

Where is it? Could you circle the face and post the pic??

Re: Just afew questions... (4.00 / 2)

Start at the bottom row, look at the individual beans, move from bottom left to bottom right, about two inches in you'll find a ball head instead of a bean (in the second row up from the bottom more or less)

Then it's rather like Where's Wally? (or Waldo...)

Seeing the damn thing also rather depends on the state of your eyesight and the quality of your screen... Mine are dimmer than they used to be... ;)

And indeed, the source of this posts it as an optical illusion, and actually compares it to the game of Where is Waldo?

Only in the comment thread does the poster claim "Doctors have concluded etc...", and gives no source or reference to back the claim.

Everyone will see the same face, there is only one face in it.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
