This is an optical illusion, impossible to make in real life. Roof makes it obvious that it’s exterior of the house, but the floor makes it obvious that it’s interior. Therefore, a logical paradox.”“I agree with no. Either the house is missing 2 walls, and the space he occupies isn’t inside an enclosed room and would not be considered “in a house,” but rather near a weird 2-walled structure; or the house has all 4 walls and he is standing on a wood floor outside the house. Either way, he is outside the house,” added another.A third expressed, “I like this one.” “He is the house,” joked a fourth. A fifth shared, “How could he be in the house if we can see everything?” “He’s outside on the patio,” remarked a sixth. A seventh joined, “Well the man is on the floorboards that are attached to the walls. The home doesn’t have a ceiling. Technically, he is still outside.” ABOUT THE AUTHOR Arfa Javaid is a journal working with the Hindustan Times’ Delhi team.
