Incredibly frustrating optical illusion leaves people furious - spot the black earbud on the rug in 30 seconds

An infuriating optical illusion has once again left social media users furious.

Reddit user NateDoggFDFL posted a photo to the site's Find the Sniper page, a thread dedicated to finding things hidden in plain site.

The post asked viewers challenged hunters to: 'Find the black foam earpod cover.'

The search was labeled 'difficult' and chaos quickly ensued in the comment section.

It seems that the patterned rug was the perfect hiding spot for the rogue headphone.

Even the poster had trouble looking for their lost head phone in real time.

They said: 'You should have seen me and my mom trying to find it irl!'

Can you beat the odds and find the black foam headphone cover camouflaged in a black rug?

The optical illusion was rated 'difficult' and stumped most Reddit viewers

Many people gave in before the hunt even started.

One user wrote: 'No... I don't think I will.'

Another said: 'I tried to find it, but I died and went to hell after a couple of minutes. No really, I'm burning in HELL--

'I guess I'm never gonna find it, bruh.'

A third commented: 'Is it sad that I looked at this and my kneejerk reaction was just..."NO."'

People use the embellishments on the rug as a grid, saying the headphone was located seven flowers down and four flowers over

Even those that did find it said it was difficult.

One person commented: 'It low key pops right out at you.'

Another wrote: 'That was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I think I got it.'

A third added: 'I only found it because it's slightly darker than the rest of the carpet.'

If you weren't able to find it, you're in the majority.

The earbud is located just write of center. Several users counted the white embellishments on the rug to describe its location.

Counting seven flowers down and four flowers over, you should be able to see the missing earpod.
