You’ll probably laugh when you see this picture below, just like I did. It is so simple, yet it hides a double meaning beneath it’s surface. The question submitter of this illusion (Doug Thomas) gave us is to find out which of the panels are folded toward the viewer, and which are folded away? I know you are used to colorful, real life photos, but this one is good optical illusion as well, admit it or not… Doug said: “Here is an illusion that I think has been around forever. However, maybe you haven’t seen it yet. Don’t be too hasty to answer the skill testing question I gave. I enjoy your illusions immensely.” For more illusions of this type check: accidental financial, circles or spiral, jazz musician, going up illusion, 3D heart stencils, people trapped inside a wall…
Lol… they are all flipped toward the viewer if you look hard enough.
nice illusion
I always enjoy this illusion, even though I already know it.
I start looking at it and after a while what is folded inside suddenly turns outside and what is folded outside turns inside. It’s fun!
none of them
Im third again!
this illusion is super cool. i dont think that its possible to figure out.
none of them are it is just rhombuses
illusions like this are always fun cause they always switch around!!! haha. thanks doug!
You are all wrong. The answer is: All of them.
Every single panel is turned towards you at one end at least, no matter which way you look at it.
Wither the bottom of the panel or the top will ALWAYS be turned towards. Meaning every time you see it, it is turned towards you.
i also think it is all of them.
only panerls one and 4
They’re all flat, silly…its 2D.
Cool though, I draw these all the time, they look really nice when you colour it in to look like a folded chess board
nice
They all are, if you look at it right. :o!!!
OMG!
The blinds in my house have this pattern on it and when i am sick in bed, I spend all day just starting and the curtain allusion I which I never knew was an allusion up until a few seconds ago when I exclaimed,

Prety cool.
the answer is c
the panels are not real
brain bender man, brain bender
well it isn t a real picture so u can’t say how it is
or you say it’s none of them…
still COOL!!
CIAO FRIENDS!lol
Even though everyone or almost everyone is correct saying 1-3, 2-4 or all of them due to the illusion, what is wrong with anonymous on Post 9 saying 1 and 4??? Come oooon!!!!!
lol, guys its a 2D picture, as some already said. It doesnt have depth, which is the 3rd dimension. So your brain is trying to make the 3rd, because everything that we see in real life are 3d, which means it has depth. So your brain is just confusing you.
Since there is no depth, there is no valid answer, because depth DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS!

there are pointing toward the viewer. If you simply were to run two lines down the pic, the left part of the pic. forming triangles and on the right at the peaks of the flaps it becomes clear.
its none!!! because ur screen is flat! haha nice ilusion! it tricks jerks
its none!!! because ur screen is flat! haha nice ilusion! it tricks jerks!! but well, this site is in improvement
if you focus really hard ( and you have seen both of them and know how to fllip them, yes there is a way to fllip them ) you can make the upper part change but not the lower :D
actually, there is no correct or incorrect answer for this illusion.. that’s the beauty of it. it depends on the person on how he or she sees it..
but still, either way, all the panels can be folded toward and/or folded away the viewer.
:)
I get it…but its not funny. It’s actually a bit boring.
Way at the start I already knew you could look at it in different ways…though I didn’t know it was the answer before I read everyone else’s comments
oldest flip in the book
gotta’ love it
