Optical Illusion: Can you spot the hidden number 9 among the sea of 6s in just 5 seconds?

Optical illusions always intrigue us, as they question the way our minds interpret what we see with our eyes. They force us to think outside the box, challenging our concentration, attention to detail, and patience. Here is also one such puzzling challenge which has left many stumped.Look at the picture above. It appears to be a grid covered with the number 6 endlessly repeated. Rows upon rows of purple sixes comfortably rest against a plain background. But what's interesting here is that somewhere in this puzzle lies a misleading number 9!Your task is easy, spot the odd number 9 in 5 seconds?It may seem simple, but don't be deceived. The sizes of 6 and 9 are too close, so your eyes may not even perceive the distinction if you don't look closely. The illusion happens because your mind will tend to take a repeated pattern when looking at similar things, making the 9 integrate perfectly with the rest of the 6s.Deep breath, concentrate, and run your eyes down the rows one at a time. Don't fly over the image too fast, keep it slow and steady, that's how you solve this puzzle.So, did you spot it within the allotted time? If you did, well done, you've got quick observant eyes and excellent attention to detail! If not, don't fret, optical illusions are cleverly designed to deceive even the most perceptive of eyes.The solution? Number 9 is nestled in the lower region of the grid in seventh row and tenth column from the left, hidden in plain sight for keen-eyed opponents to find.
