This all started after an American lady by the name of Savannah Root shared the picture with her Facebook friends last week, asking whether they could find any meaning in the black smudge.
The picture has since gone viral, in a way that only the most hair-pullingly frustrating of optical illusions can. Like that flippin’ dress. Or those bloomin’ hearts.

SPOILER ALERT: the image actually depicts the face of a man wearing a cowboy hat, with the right-hand-side obscured in shadow.
We know. So annoying.
