The picture shows a creepy black and white circus clown made up of various dashes, dotted lines and spots.
The clown is wearing a pointy black witch hat, at a slant.
And if you’re particularly eagle-eyed you will see some humans lurking in the picture.
One silhouette is located at the top of the picture where the clown’s eyes and arched eyebrows are formed.
Another man can be seen lying in the clown’s mouth, which is upturned with legs protruding like a mermaid’s tail.
The clock is ticking, the true test is can you find the horses before it’s too late?
The illusion is made especially difficult as the image is fuzzy and has no colour, making it much more difficult to pick out small details.
Need a hint? The answer can be found at the bottom left of the screen.
Study each section of the image carefully and you should be able to spot the answer.
Got it? Congratulations – you’re in the top 1%!
