The classic number illusion puzzle has rows and rows of nearly identical digits designed to mess with your eyes - and patience.
But it's not as easy as it appears - inside the sea of sizes is a sneaky zero.
The colour of the background doesn't help either - the dark blue makes it trickier to see.
Meanwhile, we tend to view images from the centre outwards, meaning our periphery can be neglected, particularly when focusing on intricate details.
Can you spot it? If that's a yes, how long did it take you?
Optical illusions like this one are not just quirky brain teasers, they are a legitimate workout for your brain.
Think of them as being Sudoku's cooler, visual cousin...
They boost focus and attention to detail; finding the odd one out forces your brain to slow down.
They also improve visual memory as your brain starts to learn how to memorise patterns and shapes.
If you still haven't spotted the zero... keep scanning through the patterns line by line and zoom in on the subtle variations.
Everyone can see the pearls, but you need the eyes of a hawk to spot the diamond in less than 10 seconds
Since six and zero are circular cousins, the difference is really subtle.
Still not found it? Count eight lines from the bottom upwards, and then 10 inwards from the right. There it is!

Everyone can see the fisherman but you have 20/20 vision if you spot the 3 differences in this brainteaser in 23 seconds
FEW hobbies are as relaxing as fishing but this seaside-themed brainteaser may leave you scratching your head. Test your vision and try to spot the three differences in this image. 6 Give your brain a workout and see if you can find the three odd things out between these seemingly identical pictures. The brainteaser, from Times of India, shows a triumphant fisherman standing in the shallow waters. Dressed in what appears to be a wet-suit, the man is holding a trident in one hand and a rod with a fish hanging from it in the other. In the background, a large mountain can be seen on the horizon as the sun beams in the sky. On the other side of the mountain, a singular cloud can be seen in the sky. The time to beat on this image is 23 seconds to prove your brain power. So set your timers and start examining these images as quickly as possible. Peel your eyes because the three differences are quite subtle, barely visible at a quick glance. Scan the images and take in every detail you notice because the answers are hiding in plain sight. If you're struggling, we recommend paying particular attention to the mountain in the background. Only 15% can spot the correct hidden image in this blurred optical illusion - but can you do it in less than 30 seconds? You should also look closer at the water splashing around the fisherman's legs. Finally, the fish hanging from the hook may also be of interest to you. Another tricky brainteaser features a gnarled tree but only those with high IQ can spot a sleepy cat hiding on it. If that's still not hard enough for you, then have a go at spotting the hidden broom amongst the clothes in less than five seconds. Or you can have a go at figuring out the hidden message in this band's cover art that has confused fans for years. How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?
