9. I can see it
But that's only because I knew what I was looking for. If you weren't told it had an "image of Satan" on it, your brain would never have put the markings together in the specific way that causes the image to form.

It's a psychological thing. You weren't expecting to see anything, so you don't. I was expecting to see something that looked like Satan (note that I don't actually believe that the turtle was possessed, that's just ridiculous,) so I did.

(That probably made no sense. I'm studying for a psych test, cut me some slack ;-) )
