Remember the white and gold dress that divided the internet? Or was it black and blue?

Well never mind that conundrum, here is another optical illusion that has got social media all fired up.

This time it's all over a pair of legs. So far, the picture has been shared almost 18,000 times on Twitter and left a lot of people confused.

And the question that demands an answer - are they shiny or are they just legs with white paint on them?

Some people can't help but see shiny legs.

But others pointed out that actually, the legs do just have white paint on them.

And once some people saw the white paint they couldn't see the shiny legs any more.

Some people don't even think it's paint.

The shiny legs question follows the great dress debate last year.

But now, we can't remember what colour it's meant to be.
