Hidden number and letter optical illusions are some of the most satisfying puzzles because they look unbelievably simple until you actually try them. In this challenge, you are shown a neat grid filled with the number 1. 

At first glance, the entire image appears perfectly uniform, almost like computer code arranged on a grid. But hidden somewhere in this pool of identical 1's is one letter 'I' waiting to be found.

Now what makes this puzzle so tricky is that the digit 1 and the letter I look so similar that you might almost miss it if you are not super observant. The vertical line and similar height might confuse your brain in distinguishing them.

This optical illusion can easily trick your eyes and mind with the repetition of identical digits. This is where your true observation prowess will be tested. Will you be able to differentiate the I from the 1s or give up like the 99 per cent average minds?

As the challenge states, you will get only 11 seconds to find the hidden letter. So let's not waste any second. Set a timer for 11 seconds before you start looking.

Once the countdown begins, make best of every second. Do not glance randomly at the grid. Instead, scan the grid methodically.

Move your eyes from left to right, row by row. This systematic approach ensures you do not skip any important detail.

Now your eyes might get overwhelmed or tired looking at the same shape repeatedly. So it is important you maintain concentration and attention to detail.

If you lose track, blink briefly, refocus, and continue from the last row you clearly remember.

Keep looking. Timer is ticking. Do not worry, if you feel overwhelmed. Even people with good eyesight struggle with puzzles like this one that have repetitive patterns like this.

Let's see if you have the sharp observation skills, attention to detail, and mental speed to solve this tricky optical illusion in the given time limit.

How is the search going? Any luck so far? Time's ticking!
