An optical illusion of a group of women has gone viral on social media for obviously weird reasons.
The picture has caused people to take a look at the picture not once, not twice but multiple times and still be confused about matching the pair of legs.
The picture, which is from 2016 but recently resurfaced, sitting on a sofa in a bar with a lot of memorabilia for the NFL team the Green Bay Packers on the walls.

Apart from the interesting location, the thing internet is most interested in is the crazy optical illusion the picture presents.
In the image, there are five women sitting on the sofa, while another is perched on the arm of the seat.

Out of six ladies, one only needs to concentrate only the woman in the center as she is the one whose legs seems to be matching.
First one notices nothing strange, and then suddenly the realization dawns that one pair of legs is missing.
Reddit users took to the platform to express their confusion and frustration about not being able to locate a pair of legs and some have theories going on about what is wrong with the picture.
One person replied: "Number one has her legs crossed, no tear in the knee."

A second said: "I actually think the first girl has got legs draped over the second girl's legs."
A third user wrote: "Numbers two and three are leaning way over."

One keen observer also noted that among the first and second women, a sock is visible on one of the legs but only half if can be seen. They note: "Her pants are the same color, and almost blend. You can see the difference where there is a bit of sock/skin showing above the boot."
This might be right as when the image is brightened up it shows that the second woman's legs are actually behind the first woman's. To make the situation even more confusing they both have the same color of trousers on.
Take a close look at the picture and let us know your theory about this optical illusion.
