THINK you have an eye for detail? This mind boggling optical illusion will reveal if your eyes are up to scratch and if you have a high IQ.
The timer starts now, if you spot the missing present in less than seven seconds you might be amongst those with elite mental mettle.
The picture shows five children at a birthday party.
A huge cake with two layers and multicoloured icing can be seen and a feast including crisps and ice cream sundaes is also on offer.
Toys wrapped in bows cover the floor and a small dog sits in the corner confused at what all the fuss is about.
Four of the kids are having a ball but one appears worried as he’s lost his present for the party host.
Help him find it before he has nothing to give the birthday boy.
How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?
Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
Some benefits include:
- Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
- Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
- Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
- Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
- Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
- Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
The illusion is made especially difficult as it is completely crowded and exploding with different bright colours meaning it’s far harder for the eyes to find a small detail.
