I can only see 2 at a time although I can find 12 by scanning across.
I seem to have the urge to cluck like a chicken.
This is actually employed in video and audio compression techniques. Although audio is not really compressed, it is bit rate reduced, meaning that audio components are removed and not restored based on algorithms that assume the human ear will not miss them as established by subjective modeling.
Similar things happen in the video world as well. While video compression does “restore” some of the information removed at the coding/transmit end of things, it does take some liberties with information it doesn’t think people will notice. Bit rate reduction has been refined to unbelievably low rates, particularly with the new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) which represents a quantum leap in bit rate reduction without perception of lost information.
Billy, only when you hear the word “Ratchet”.
I see 5 rows of 7 & 4 rows of 6 …. amirite?
I didn’t see any of the things they said I was supposed to see. WTF are they talking about?

I can only see one at a time. Send me some money for new glasses and I’ll try again.
I imagine that pattern would be good for hiding a small video surveillance camera.
I don’t see any black dots…..does that mean I’m gay?
