The visible sequence shows the numbers 16, 06, 68, 88 and 98. Many people waste time looking for a mathematical pattern or transfer the puzzle. The reality is much simpler: turn the image upside down, and the missing number reveals itself as 87. Once you see it you can’t see it. Why this puzzle records people according to Baba Mail, only five percent of people solve the mystery without help. The trick lies in perspective.

The science behind optical illusions experts thinks the reason this puzzle is so much is the same reason why optical illusions are throwing us away. According to the mirror, the Dean McGee Eye Institute explained: “There are opportunities when the brain is uncertain about what it sees. Optical illusions occur when your eyes are offered with colors, lights, patterns, boundaries or contrast areas that deceive the brain. It tries to use images with optical clues, learned assumptions and visual experiences.” The institute also added that in these cases there is a difference between the reality of what we see and what our brain thinks we see. As a result, our brain makes a guess and is deceived to see something that does not exist, or it struggles to decide between varying versions of an image.
