It is a conversation as old as time:
Him: Can’t you see it?
Her: I don’t see a damn thing.
Him: Yeah! It’s four dolphins playing poker under water!
Her: It is NOT.

The Magic Eye puzzles/books/posters/keychains have been plaguing society for about 10 years now, having been introduced in the mid-90’s, and have made about one-third of the American public feel like either (a) a bunch of idiots, (b) the subject of an elaborate “you are stupid” scam, or (c) insane.

But for those who are competitive and never want to be the person who is “not in on the joke” I give you the TOP 3 Magic Eye Puzzle Solutions for you to spout out when someone asks you if you can see it. With a 33 1/3 percent chance of being correct — you’re bound to only look stupid 2/3rds of the time.

These three “guesses” should be preceded by one of the following phrases:
1. Oh my gosh!! That’s amazing! It’s — 2. Everything just came into focus! It’s — 3. (Incoherent Scream, coupled with hysterical crying) Then, “It’s —
There’s no need to thank me. I feel your pain.
