The optical illusion that has everyone talking

This optical illusion was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user Piyush Tiwari. The image depicts a cosy children's bedroom at night. A child with curly red hair is peacefully sleeping in a gold-framed bed with blue bedding. Through the window, a crescent moon and twinkling stars can be seen, framed by orange curtains tied back on either side.

The room has pink walls and a reddish-purple floor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. On the right side, a green bedside table holds a lamp with a yellow shade. Next to it stands a bookshelf filled with various objects, including books, a basketball, a blue rabbit toy, and what appears to be a rooster or chicken stuffed animal. However, hidden somewhere in this seemingly ordinary scene is a toothbrush—and the challenge is to find it in just five seconds!
