Diamond illusion nearly impossible to solve

This diamond in the roughage is throwing the internet for a “loupe.”

Competitive puzzle enthusiasts are straining their eyes trying to solve this optical illusion, in which the object is to find a hidden gem on a farm.

The visual treasure hunt, originally posted on Reader’s Digest by jeweler William May, challenges viewers to “find a lost diamond ring in this garden” — like a human metal-detecting device of sorts.

This task seems especially difficult as, at first glance, the colorful illustration depicts a pastoral farm scene with carrots, a few bunny rabbits, flowers and a wheelbarrow with seemingly no diamond in sight.

Fortunately, May provides some handy tips on spotting the carats among the carrots.

“Note: This puzzle is not to scale,” he wrote, adding that “the ring’s band is yellow, and it has a good-sized white diamond.”

Still can’t find the diamond in the roughage? Not to worry, May includes a spoiler image below that shows the infinitesimal bejeweled band wrapped around one of the carrots between a wheelbarrow and the last sunflower on the right.

This isn’t the first visual jigsaw to throw puzzle lovers for a “loupe.” Last week, brainteaser buffs blew a gasket trying to solve this compilation of trippy illusions, which included a snake camouflaged in a tree, and a butterfly hidden among a pile of leaves.
