      The top right one works for me, once you manage to see any of them as face down, they all flip again.

        Same, easiest way to flip for me is the notion right of the middle (circular) flips them up, top right flips them down

      Find the one that’s face down.

      That was lazy brain mode, can only do it by becoming lazy brain mode again but you’re thinking about this so now it’s in your subconscious too.

      Stare at the squared one at the bottom right and thing about it as face down. Then you can move to the others and see them face down, but you may need several tries.

      It all looked like pills to me until I read the text. Couldn’t even see plates for a while.

      Anyway, I noticed that the top right rectangular one doesn’t match the perspective when seen as face down. All the other ones are round, so they don’t insinuate a perspective at all. That’s why that plate is the key.

        Shadow says its face up though. There should be a thicker bright line down the side if it was flipped over. The shadow should not have the same depth as all the other dishes.

          Sort of. This plate sticks out because in order to create a shadow and light this way when facing down it would have to be angled in a way that doesn’t match with the others when also assuming that they’re all placed on the same surface. It only looks right with the others when seen as face up. The trick here is that we normally assume light to come from the top when given no other clues, but this assumption doesn’t match with our assumption of placement. The text also suggests the wrong way first.

          If the picture had been presented upside down, it might have been difficult to even ee it any other way than the correct one.

      They all started as face up to me as well. The one that stood out to me though was the rectangular plate in the top right. That plate looked face down to me which then triggered all the plates to look face down.

      I have tried some of the “tricks” in the comments and none work for me. Try as I might, I can only see them as face up and nothing else. It doesn’t make sense to me that they could ever appear face down because the lighting wouldn’t make sense.

        I got to see them upside down for a moment and it does not look correct. They are actually face up in the picture but it is possible to trick yourself into seeing them as upside down but they don’t look like they would if they really were

    All the plates are face up. Period.

    They’re all face-up with the lighting from the right.

    If I try to see them as face down they become distorted. The lighting is wrong.

    It almost worked. I first saw medicine pills and then plates

    Hypothesis: they are really all face up, but if you read about them being face down before paying attention to the picture your brain turns them face down until one of them triggers the correct position.

      My brain must be stupid cuz I looked at the picture first and they looked face down :/

      • @Daerun

        No, it’s just that there is no reference, so it is perfectly possible to see them facing down in the first place before reading.

      It’s a badly JPG’d picture of segmented dishes, but the description says they’re face down… which is wrong, given the way the light hits them. This is just a bad post.

    I think it’s the shadow cast onto the largest round plate by the lower divided round plate

    Without that shadow, the plates could be face-down and illuminated from the left, but the shadow would only exist if the light source is on the right, so it snaps everything to conform to that
