So, I put that image on my phone and handed it over to my wife. I watched her stare at it for a long time. A very very long time. She must've read it maybe 50 times! LOL. For the record, my wife finished high school at the top of her class. I had to prompt her "read carefully" before she figured it out.

Also for the record, I figured it out the first time I read it and I did not finish anywhere near the top of my class.

So here is my theory. I read at probably a grade 5 level LOL. I'm serious btw. I read ridiculously slow. My wife on the other hand can speed read through a novel pretty quick. So to me the people who are missing it are the ones who can actually read fairly quickly (or normally).
