Look at the Coca-Cola can in the main image.<\/p>\n
It is not a can, but an optical illusion \u2013 a trick of perspective. Can you work out what is going on?<\/p>\n
The illusion is the latest masterpiece from Olivier Redon, a French-American inventor, who has had his creations used in museums and on TV programmes around the world.<\/p>\n
For today\u2019s puzzles, I present five of Redon\u2019s most brilliant images. The challenge is to figure out how he managed to create them.<\/p>\n
1. Ceci n\u2019est pas une canette<\/strong><\/p>\n Another look at the can. What are you actually looking at?<\/em><\/p>\n 2. The Oh La La Box<\/strong><\/p>\n This is not a red box! What is Redon actually holding in his hand?<\/em><\/p>\n 3. Twin dinos<\/strong><\/p>\n This iPhone image is of two dinosaurs that are the same size. How did Redon take the image?<\/em><\/p>\n 4. Fragile<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a portrait of Redon and his daughter. How was it taken?<\/em><\/p>\n 5. The transparent cube<\/strong><\/p>\n This looks like cube with words on three external sides. But can you see what you are really looking at?<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019ll be back at 5pm UK with the reveals for each of these images. Please do return. The illusions are sensational.<\/p>\n UPDATE: You can see the reveals here.<\/p>\n PLEASE NO SPOILERS.<\/p>\n Instead, please discuss your favourite optical illusions.<\/p>\n All photographs are copyright Oliver Redon. You can check out his website olired.com here and follow him on LinkedIn.<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been setting a puzzle here on alternate Mondays since 2015. I\u2019m always on the look-out for great puzzles. If you would like to suggest one, email me.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Look at the Coca-Cola can in the main image.
