Post an embarrassing admission. Here's mine: [View all]

I have never--not once--been able to see those hidden "3D" images. In two decades I haven't found even a suggestion of an outline of the hidden image, and if my life literally depended on seeing one, I would have to embrace my mortality and give up the ghost.

Note: this also applies to that "circles not squares" thing.

What's your embarrassing admission?
