Countless things can influence how a photo ends up looking: lighting, angle, etc. On rare occasions, these variables align perfectly and a brain teaser is born. Whether it’s a shadow that creates the impression that your laptop is folded or a reflection that makes half of a building seemingly disappear, photos are unpredictable.
Bright Side now puts your mind to the test with some bewildering photos.

5. “My buddy’s cup before our final exam looked pretty weird on the table.”
6. “Was shocked to find out my brother had mentioned nothing of my niece’s new levitation ability.”
7. “The view from my friend’s room makes it look like the light is in the middle of the sky.”
