Looks like the background is spinning around a circle, but both are staying completely still.

Your eyes will keep jumping to the spinning sunbursts of seeds – even though they’re all staying still.

Lose your focus a bit (seriously – try to go a little cross-eyed) and you’ll spot a secret message hiding in the black dots.

Take a closer look, though, and the words will disappear from sight.

Good for you if you guessed the same size!

The left just looks smaller compared to the big circles and empty space around it.

At first glance, the four diamonds in this picture pop right out.

But look closer – there’s not a single line creating those shapes.

The contrast between the black and white makes your brain assume they exist.
