THIS mind-boggling optical illusion has puzzle fanatics stumped and struggling to find the answer – but do you have what it takes?
If you can spot the ten differences between the two sunny scenes in just 22 seconds you may have a genius IQ.
The picture is of two seemingly identical scenes showing a pair of kids, a girl and a boy, enjoying some fizzy drinks and snacks.
The girl holds an ice cream and the boy is sipping soda through a straw.
Eagle-eyed puzzlers will be able to spot some subtle differences between the two images.
The clock is ticking, can you find them before 22 seconds are up?
The illusion is made especially difficult as the bright colours distract the eyes from the task in hand.
Need a hint? Don’t overthink it the answers are hiding in plain sight.
Try and focus on individual objects and check them against the other picture.
