Can you spot the hidden bell?[/caption]The bold optical illusion shows several bikes on a bright orange background, with different coloured frames and wheels.
The distracting bright colours and the different angles the bikes are at make it difficult to find the hidden bell.
The different objects littering the background, such as bike helmets and water bottles, make it even harder to spot the correct object.
It may look tough, but the key is to focus on the correct shape you are looking for, so you can ignore the other shapes quicker.
Get on your bike because the clock is ticking!
