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.
“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, bright colours in the background of the image.
The artistic detailing that has gone into this illusion offers the perfect camouflage for the sneaky pineapple and butterfly, 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.
