How many circles do you see?

[T!b0]

0 at first, but now that i've seen the light: 25 circles for me...

 

[GameDragon]

I can only see 16 circles. Why are so many people seeing much more?

 

[CockroachMan]

Yeah.. I see where the other are.. but can't see them clearly..

and 78 circles in the dogs.. (ok, that's a lie XD)

I'm only seeing 16 circles as well, I think you guys that see more than that are seeing things... Tell us where the others are.

For the optical-illusion-impaired folks (like me), I doodled it up a bit to make it much more obvious:

The rest of the circles are not even circles.. more like half circles like someone mentioned earlier. So they don't really count

But if you focus between four of the 16 connected circles (squarewise), you'll see it.

 

[Mewgia]

I only see 16 :/

 

[Pigwooly]

Yeah, there are 16. There a lot of things that come close to being additional circles, but all of them have messed up corners or are half circles.

 

[redeyez]

16 then I seen 00010000

 

[OSW]

didn't get it when i studied it a few days ago, but after another minute trying to identify them today, i found them (i had missed the post where the guy outlined them in red)

exactly.

i can see where people are pulling an extra 9 to get 25, but they are clearly not circles in that there is no contrast around the full circumference, only about half of it.

I count 32 if I connect opened circles form one side to another. (2x 1/2 = 1 and 4 x 1/4 = 1)
