Creepy optical illusion leaves people stumped – how many fingers can you see?

If you’re looking to keep the kids occupied, or just love a brainteaser that really challenges your own sanity and faith in humanity – you’re in luck. One optical illusion has gone viral and sparked huge debate, but nobody can agree on the correct answer.

It comes from an Instagram account that goes by the username @unseenillusions – which has garnered an impressive 1.3 million followers for its constant posts of brainteasers and unsolvable puzzles. So, what are you waiting for?

PS: You may run out of fingers to count on with this one…

The optical illusion features a hand, but each finger is then connected to another hand, which is connected to another hand (creepy, right?). To solve the puzzle, you just need to answer how many fingers there are.

At the time of writing, the post has received more than 400 comments – but people’s answers vary. A few people believe 155 is the correct numbers of fingers, while some have not counted a thumb as a finger – so believe it is only 150.

However, other answers include 130, 160, 175 and even 215. “More than they should be,” one user joked – while another added: “I am not counting all of those.”

Do you have your own answer to this question? It’s likely a challenging query that has prompted numerous responses over time. The answer is 155 fingers (31 hands).

Is this challenge difficult for you? If you can provide the correct answer, I believe you possess a sharp mind and keen intellect.

Your ability to properly respond to this query would indicate a high level of cognitive capability. I am confident that you have the necessary brain power and analytical thinking skills to overcome this task successfully.
