The snap, which shows a young woman kneeling on a red blanket is proving so problematic to fathom that it has apparently taken one internet user “two years” to figure out.

The image has been mystifying web users for some time, but has recently done the rounds once more  after it was shared by user AMassiveTRexHoldingaBaby.

They wrote: “Legit had to stare at this pic for a full minute before my brain told me what was going on.”

The photo has now racked up thousands of views and comments, with one person admitting the puzzle was “hurting his brain”.

Stumped?

Take a closer look.

 It wasn't a third leg... it was a vase all along!

If you closely inspect the picture, it becomes apparent that the girl is holding a brown vase - its shape and colouring making it deviously tricky to distinguish from her legs (which seem to be covered in brown toned tights.)

One frustrated viewer wrote: “Still trying to figure it out” after several goes at figuring it out, while another admitted: “I finally get it. After two years I literally JUST got it.”

While Imgur user Traso commented: “After you see if you can't see it wrong again.”

Did you figure it out?
