THIS optical illusion has left puzzle fanatics scratching their heads searching for the answer.
Participants have been told that they could have 20/20 vision and the IQ of a genius if they manage to spot the Queen hidden in this crowded image of corgis.
Can you spot the Queen in just six seconds?[/caption]For those puzzle-heads among you, there’s an added catch: can you find the corgi-loving Queen in just six seconds?
Grab a timer, set it to six seconds, and prove your puzzle-solving skills.
Although it may seem like an ordinary image, this is no easy feat, and it takes the average person over a minute to find it.
Brainteasers are purposefully designed to trick our vision, and can be used as simple determiners of intelligence.
Dr Amber Johnston, a clinical psychologist in neuropsychology, said that brainteasers help to keep our brain active, young, and have a positive impact on mental wellbeing.
She said: “What is well understood about both the brain and mental health is that people are highly driven to pursue learning.
“Anything that offers new challenge and learning opportunities has been found to lead to greater well-being and enjoyment, with studies showing that people prefer to choose a novel and challenging task over an easy, repetitive one, even without reward for participating in either.
“Because we are naturally motivated towards challenge and learning, brainteasers fit into a fun category of hobbies that can improve our mental health.”
They are widely regarded to help improve our attention spans, concentration, and overall cognitive abilities.
Brainteasers where you have to find an image within an image aids your brain’s ability to interpret ambiguity.
This puzzle is made particularly tricky through the varying subtleties throughout the image.
The varying colours of the corgis hats and crowns, alongside the differing corgi shades have offered the perfect camouflage for the corgi-loving Queen, as your eyes find it hard to focus on 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.
