Blake Lively's latest Instagram is intense. People are losing their minds.

Blake Lively, actress, wife and mother, owner of glorious hair, has left me (and the entire internet) completely dumbfounded.

Why, you ask? Good question.

Three days ago, Lively posted this image to her Instagram:

The caption reads, “Here’s a throwback to make you smile. What a hole decide the world no longer needed these?!?! 90s kid #TheShallows”.

If you weren’t a 90s kids, they’re Magic Eye puzzles that were all the rage for a very long time.

Optical illusions are never meant to be easy, but Magic Eye illusions always reach the next level of difficulty.

All these illusions are meant to do is test your eye’s depth perception (whatever that means). The only way you can see the hidden image is if your eye focus in a bunch of different directions, and tadah! You can see the image.

Easy, right?

I usually pride myself on being a bit of an optical illusion master. Give me a few seconds and I’ll find the shadow in the red dot or the bear in a crowd of 100 pandas.

But, Lively’s image has left me staring at the screen for a very, very long time just trying to find it.

It’s not just me either (thank goodness).

Fans have been left somewhat dumbfounded by the image, with one posting, “This is making me so angry. I’ve been trying to see it for 20 minutes.”

Yes, me too.

Despite my strenuous efforts to see whatever the hell was there, I had to employ the technical genius of a special website of Magic Eye Solver to reveal the truth.

And this is what I found:

THIS IS IT. ALL OF IT.

A shark.

That's it.

A shark and the only slightly cool thing is that it appears to kind of jump out of the water.

The shark is reference to Lively's new movie, The Shallows. In fact, you can watch a scene of her wrestling a shark from it right here:

So, Blake Lively, you stumped me. You broke my record of solving these illusions.

But, this isn't the end.

I shall eagerly await your next test.
