The challenge is to spot the old man’s sleeping wife in just 11 seconds – if you succeed, it means you have perfect vision.

A puzzling optical illusion has everyone puzzled, even those who are experts at solving tricky puzzles.

The task is to find the old man’s wife who is sleeping in the picture. At first glance, it seems like the old man is alone, resting peacefully on a pillow.

However, if you look closely, you might notice someone else in the image with him.

According to comments on the original Reddit post, this puzzle is really tricky and not many people can find the answer without some help.

One tip to find the woman is to focus on identifying her hair. Once you see that, you’re halfway to figuring out where she is sleeping.

But even with this clue, many people still struggled to spot her. On social media, users were sharing their frustration.

One person asked, “Who else can’t find the sleeping lady?”

Another said, “This optical illusion is one of the hardest ones I’ve ever seen.”

A third person added, “Even after spotting her, I still can’t unsee the old man.”

And someone else commented, “I keep seeing only the old man, even though I’m trying to see a young woman.”

Luckily, one person gave a helpful hint: “She’s looking away. It’s tricky, but the old man’s nose is actually her jawline.”

For those who couldn’t find her, don’t worry. This is known as one of the toughest optical illusions out there.
