THIS mind-boggling optical illusion challenges you to find a bear hidden in a snowy forest – and it’s no easy feat.
The retro puzzle shows a man out hunting in a pair of snow shoes and holding a rifle in a very wintery scene.
Can you find the bear?[/caption]The old-fashioned drawing – shared by Playbuzz – hides a large grizzly somewhere in the background – but can you spot it?
The artist has made this one difficult to solve, despite there only being one image to find within the picture.
Working your way through the brainteaser could sharpen your noggin just as you need it most.
Christmas is a lethargic and boozy time, making our brains slower as we take time off work.
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at a brainteaser can actually drastically improve eye sight as frequent puzzle players can see small print with greater ease.
And according to ZenBuisness: “These visual puzzles can give you a good mental workout that can, in turn, help you think more efficiently and solve problems more easily.”
Optical illusions are widely regarded to help improve our attention spans, concentration, and overall cognitive function.
Brainteasers where you have to find an image within an image aids your brain’s ability to interpret ambiguity.
In this particular piece, people with a high visual IQ should be able to find the first few differences in seconds and then quickly spot a couple more.
But it’s the final two or three things that are almost impossible as you feel as though you’ve looked everywhere already.
Many will end up looking for ages or they’ll never reach the annoying solution at all.
A top tip is to look through the trickery and stay focused on the slight giveaways in the image as they’ll be where the changes are.
Eagle-eyed players have spotted the beast disguised as a cliff face in the background.
