With more than 780,000 views and counting, the post has gone immensely viral since being shared online. It has also accumulated close to 1,000 likes and an influx of comments in the comment section from social media viewers. A majority chimed in to post the number they were able to spot, while others shared tips to easily spot the number.

“I see 4018, but only without my glasses. With my glasses, I do not see any numbers—nothing. Can someone explain?” a comment read.

Another suggested, “Place your phone at arm’s length and rotate it a tad bit. That should make it a bit easier to see.”

“You can also see it from the side, put the display to the side from your eyes, without glasses,” added another.

An individual wrote, “Turn down the brightness on your screen, then you can see the number.”

“I can only see it if I scroll for a second. Zooming out worked too,” said another.
