This one REALLY annoyed me! I'd been trying to solve it for hours under day light and I could almost make something out but it was too faint and jumbled.

Then when it got dark I switched on my desk lamp, looked down and there it was.

You have to look at it when the light hits it a certain way. Or...

You asked for it. Don't stare it at too long. It makes my eyes hurt.

PS Take several step back and look. I laughed manically when I saw the picture.

Your looking for an idiom.
A commonly used phrase or saying.

Try sticking it to your bedroom wall & then walking backwards away from it. When I got to 6 metres away the image just appeared - which is just as well since when I turned round I was at the top of the stairs. Please only attempt this if you live in a bungalow. Smile

For the sake of completeness, and as I like the fact these things actually have a name, muscae volitantes is another name for floaters (those little bits that cross your eyes and are actually little opaque lumps in your vitreous humour). Muscae volitantes is latin for 'flying flies'. See here for more.

Ok, I got it after a bit...
Funny thing is that the idiom isn't worded the same way here in Canada.

Anyway, I'm wondering about the "muscae volitantes" reference. I'm not seeing (no pun intended Wink

) the connection between them.
