According to Mr. Peabody it takes the average person 10 X 1.618 seconds to discover the face in the beans below.
How long did it take you to find the face?
Added bonus: What is the name of the machine that Sherman is adjusting in the top picture?
Double Bonus: Did you spot the optical illusion in the Mr. Peabody and Sherman picture above?
Answer to the double bonus:
There isn't a great mind bending optical illusion in the Mr. Peabody and Sherman picture above. There is however an effect that could make one think that this image is floating above the background.
Compare the Peabody & Sherman picture with the face in the beans picture. What effect does one image have that the other lacks? That's correct the Peabody image has a drop shadow that gives it a sense of depth.
What..... you scoff, that isn't an illusion at all. How can a simple shadow be called an illusion? What would happen if we varied the shadow, increasing and decreasing its size, would it have an illusion effect then? Check out this post and then tell me that a simple shadow isn't worthy of the title of optical illusion.

Pater,
Congrats on getting the name of the machine right. For some reason the machine's name is spelled WABAC. They never say what the letters stood for.

Geeze...stupid head...took me a couple of minutes. I even was trying the stereogram method.
Reminds me a little (might even have been on your site) of the video where people are in a hallway, I think in front of elevators, passing a ball around and you are supposed to count how many times the ball gets passed or something and at the end they ask you, did you see the guy dressed like a monster? And the response is obviously no, there was no monster. Then you watch the video again and, holly cow, there was a guy in a monster suit as big as freaking day walking around that you missed simply because you were focusing on the ball...greatest illusion ever!
