Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the biggest mystery on the Internet right now: What colour is this dress? If you said ‘blue and black’, you’re wrong. If you said ‘white and gold’, you’re also wrong.

What’s the right answer, then? Well, that’s the thing — NOBODY KNOWS! And the Internet is going crazy. Split into the white-and-golds and the blue-and-blacks, social media has descended into absolute mayhem ever since the dress from hell hit Tumblr.

BuzzFeed even ran a poll, which suggests the dress is ‘white and gold’.

The Internet, predictably, has gone insane, just like I have.
