Optical Illusion Challenge: Can You Spot the Number 883 Among 885s in 8 Seconds?
Think your eyesight is sharper than most? Here’s your chance to prove it! This visual brain teaser is an 8-second challenge that tests how quickly and accurately your eyes can detect subtle differences.
In the image below, the number 883 is carefully hidden among rows and rows of 885 and it’s not as easy as it seems. Can you find it in time?
What Is an Optical Illusion?
An optical illusion is a visual image that deceives your brain into seeing something that isn't there or missing something that is. These illusions exploit the way our brains process shapes, colors, and patterns, creating discrepancies between perception and reality.
There are several types of optical illusions:
- Literal illusions trick you with images that look like something they’re not.
- Physiological illusions play with light and contrast to fool your eyes.
- Cognitive illusions rely on the brain’s assumptions and shortcuts.

The Challenge: Spot the Odd Number
Take a close look at this image. It’s filled with the number 885 repeated dozens of times. But hidden somewhere within is a single “883”.
Can you find it in under 8 seconds?

The Solution
If you found it well done! If you didn’t, no problem. The number 883 is located near the bottom-right corner of the image. It’s circled in red to make it easy to spot now.
What makes this illusion tricky is how similar 3 and 5 appear in certain fonts. Your brain quickly “scans” the text and assumes consistency, making it easy to miss small differences like this one.
Did you find the hidden 883 within the time limit? If yes, you might just have eagle eyes and a razor-sharp brain! If not, don’t worry it’s all about practice and perception.
