If you think you’ve got sharp eyes and an even sharper mind, here’s your chance to prove it! This viral optical illusion is taking over social media, and it’s deceptively simple. At first glance, it looks like only a pink colour spot in the form of a circle. But look closer, and you’ll notice something isn’t quite right.

The challenge:

In this image a number is cleverly hidden. It is intentionally designed to blend into the pink colour so well that most people miss it entirely on their first try. Your task is to find that one hidden number camouflaged perfectly within it.
