At first glance, the task seems straightforward: count the number of dots in the image. Simple. But, as with many puzzles that go viral, there’s more to it than meets the eye.
This specific puzzle features an arrangement of green dots forming a cross-like shape.
You might think it’s as easy as counting the dots, but that’s where most people go wrong.
The challenge isn’t just about counting the obvious dots; it’s about noticing the subtle details that are cleverly hidden within the image.
This puzzle takes advantage of a common cognitive bias: our brains tend to overlook small details when we’re focused on the bigger picture.
That’s why many people miss some of the less obvious dots embedded in the image. Our minds are naturally inclined to simplify tasks, sometimes at the expense of accuracy.
