Daerun,

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.

Kase,

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.

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.

shrugal,

I can flip them back and forth at will, I think I finally found my super power!

bucketofcandyfloss,

My mind is blown

MightyGalhupo,

They were always face up?

Johanno,

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

NewAgeOldPerson,

Whoa!

Finally! This is the first time this illusion worked for me.

kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E,

I don’t even understand what i am looking at

FinalRemix,

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.

All the plates are face up. Period.

mojo,

God damn it worked on me

milicent_bystandr,

Me too; almost made me jump when it worked so well!

All I see is a pile of various allergy pills

I can’t see any of them as face up.

brown567,

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

Siethron,
milicent_bystandr,

For me it was a bottom small one that snapped them to right-way-up. With practice and effort I can flip them upside down again, and confirm that I don’t struggle seeing the big one as upside down, but still struggle with some of the bottom ones.
