Optical illusion of women sitting on sofa has everyone arguing over answer

A picture of six women sitting on a sofa has caused a stir online.

A photograph of a woman sitting on a sofa has left social media users scratching their heads. Optical illusions often become more perplexing the longer you stare at them.

A recent example is an image of a winter tree that also resembles a lion. People often find themselves gazing at such images, trying to decipher what's actually happening or what the picture truly represents.

The latest puzzling photo shows what seems to be six women sitting together on a couch, but something appears amiss. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that while there are indeed six women, only five pairs of legs can be seen.

At first glance, the third woman appears to be just a torso with no legs. This sparked a heated debate on Reddit as users tried to explain the anomaly.

One user suggested: "The first girl is sitting over the second girl's legs.", reports the Mirror.

Another agreed, adding: "The second girl's legs are behind the first girl's legs."

Among the many responses, one user offered a more detailed explanation: "Number one has her legs crossed, no tear in the knee. Number two has only one leg visible, the tear is in her knee. Those legs are blending together. (Follow that tear down, there's a split where there's a sock on the right and not on the left. Number two has a tear in her knee and a visible white sock)."

Reddit users were particularly drawn to a girl in the image, seated second from the left. They observed: "Her pants are the same colour, and almost blend. You can see the difference where there is a bit of sock/skin showing above the boot."

One respondent to the post noted that the number of legs in this picture "doesn't add up."
