Twitter can't seem to wrap its head around this picture of a man and a woman hugging.

An interracial hug, but why this viral picture is blowing people's minds?

Remember that dress? White-gold or blue-black -- It's been two years since that debate took social media by storm. Now there's another pic that's leaving people divided, and it's not a dress this time.

This photograph, shared on Reddit by Blood_Reaper, has garnered close to 4 million views. The caption reads, "This hurts my brain...". No, not because they are an interracial couple. What everyone is baffled about is whose legs belong to whom!

At first glance you would see two people having different coloured torsos and legs. If you look close enough at their legs, they appear to be interchanged. So who is hiding whose legs?

Reddit user IDoThingsOnWhims wrote:

It's OK though. She has a white torso and black legs, and he has a black torso and white legs. So they match. Everyone would have prob been happier if it was the other way around though."

Another user, Silua7, commented, "the shorts are wet, that green line is the break between the dry parts and the wet parts."

Finally some clarity in doubt, thanks to Reddit user Musicmonk84 whose pictorial explanation drilled some sense.

"The guy facing away is actually wearing shorts that have 2 colors, white and dark blue (black? forest green?). The white part matches up perfectly with the girls legs and makes it look like she's wearing white pants, but in truth you see none of her bottom clothing apparel."

Still confused? Feel free to spend hours wrangling over the correct answer.
