Optical Illusions

Here's an odd one...

My mind did not want to see the circles. It took some time for them to become visible. I had to do the math to find 16 points that could be circles before I saw them

That was closer to my experience as well. The tag on it that "you can't unsee them," at least for me, isn't true. Even though I know where they are hiding, I still have to look for them.
I think it's a really cool illusion, though, because it's made with all straight lines and right angles; definitely a trick going on there to create circles.

Yeah I only see what the fortunate pattern in front of me though, I cannot see any of the circles either.

I completely agree. I can easily unsee them. In fact, I have to make myself see them. A cool illusion.

Look between the intersections of the rectangles. The horizontal and vertical lines intersect at an increasingly shorter distance creating the outer circumference of each side of the circle.

Try as I might I don't see it. For me it proves to be an optical "delusion".

4th, 5th, 6th time is a charm? With this I finally saw them. They are there, but I call phooey on not being able to unsee them.
