Everyone can see the water but you have 20/20 vision if you can spot the camouflaged ‘danger noodle’ in under 10 seconds
IT’S time to put your attention to detail to the test and see if you can spot a camouflaged snake in less than 10 seconds.
Those who can find the “danger noodle” in the woodsy optical illusion scene can declare perfect vision victory.
It might be easy to see the murky water situated between tall trees and overgrown plants, but you’ll have to hone in to spot the snake in the Reddit post by @wow-such-thought.
The creature is an expert at blending in to throw off predators, but pay close attention and you might just notice the reptile before time runs out.
And that clock is ticking.
But don’t give up yet.
Keep scanning the scene – up and down and left to right.
Our small snake friend is near the bottom of the tree and slithering his way into the water on the righthand side.
Found him?
Congrats!
That was a tough one considering he matches the brown shades of his surroundings.
Some Reddit users were inspired to share their own experiences with snakes.
“I’m not afraid of snakes, but I think they should be outfitted with those old-school fiberglass and orange triangle bike flags,” said one user.
And many others were quick to agree that they too would prefer if the creatures were more noticeable.
“Exactly! If you know they are there, then a snake is easy to avoid and live in peace,” said another Redditor.
“A snake that waits in the dry leaves until I am stepping down towards it, and then decides to move, deserves to be screamed at in a high-pitched, panic-stricken voice,” they continued.
Benefits of brainteasers and optical illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to brainteasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.
- They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
- By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
- Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention.
- Improved concentration and attention span can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
- Optical illusions can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.
“It’s for real. If someone has a pet snake, I am going to cuddle it and let it hang out wrapped around my arm and just do its thing,” said another user.
“I see one in the wild, and I turn into a terrified little child screaming and running away.”
