THIS is the optical illusion that asks you to stare at a gang of strikingly dashing snowmen to spot a hidden animal. Everyone can see the snowmen, some with nicer hats than others, but only those with 20/20 vision can spot the hidden panda in seven seconds. The puzzle will remind you of the last time you saw a snowman who didn't get the dress code memo and stuck out at the function with their top hat.

The top hat snowman could just take it off, but The Sun has been told that he has decided to commit to the look. This optical illusion is tricky because of how the white-faced panda blends in with the snowmen around it.
