Title: Is this a joke?
Post by greggerypeccary on Jun 1^st, 2016 at 6:09pm

They say that these puzzles are hard to solve.

It's easy! The letters are a different colour/shade to the other dots.

How can you not see the letters? :-/

Maybe it's a colourblind thing.

It's to test how good your computer screen is.

Yeah, these "viral" things are always easy. There was one month or two ago where my missus was sitting there staring intently at this picture for a really long time and racking her brain. What IS this?

She showed it to me, I shrug and say "It's a picture of a cowboy, whats it supposed to be?"

"Oh my god, yes I see it now!" she cries, and I'm left wondering how anyone couldn't see it.

Ah.

Mine must be pretty good then.

I can see those letters as clear as day, on this HP Chromebook.

I'll give my work computer a try tomorrow.

Easy to read on my work screen too.

Number 4 wasn't quite as easy to see, though.

FD seems to be right: it depends on how good your monitor is (bit depth and the amount of pixels?).
