THIS baffling brainteaser has left even the most avid of puzzle fanatics scratching their heads in confusion.

Everyone can see the climbers, but only the top one per cent can see the eagle hiding somewhere in this image.

Yes, there really is an eagle in there.

For those puzzle-heads among you, there’s an added catch: you have to try and find the eagle within six seconds.

So, grab a timer, set it to six seconds, and prove your puzzle-solving abilities.

Although it may seem like an ordinary image, this is no easy feat and 99 per cent of people fail to find the sneaky eagle within the time limit.

Brainteasers like these are purposefully designed to trick our vision, and can be used as simple determiners of intelligence.

Optical illusions benefits

RESEARCHERS have developed many tests that show how various brain regions react to optical illusions.

They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.

By giving your brain a little workout on a regular basis, 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, in turn, can help prevent cognitive decline in older age.

Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.

This brainteaser has been made particularly difficult through the impressive shading and colour in the background of the image.

The artistic detailing that has gone into it offers the perfect camouflage for the sneaky eagle, as your eyes find it hard to focus on any one object.

If you’d like some help, try breaking the image down into several sections. Then search each section slowly, one at a time.
