THIS is the buzzy brainteaser that challenges you to spot the pesky bee in the flower bed.
Everyone can see the animals playing among the plants, but only those with 20/20 vision and a high IQ can spot the bee in seven seconds.
The puzzle will remind you of the last time you went prancing merrily through a field of beautiful cartoon flowers.
You run into your animal pals, all of whom are engaged in different actives.
Your favourite, Mr Porcupine, is balancing an apple on its head for some reason, so they won’t be talking to you for several hours.
The two penguins, who have always gossiped behind your back, are eating ice cream, which makes sense, given they don’t like non-cold places.
Of course Mr. Rabbit is reading, he’s always so desperate to let everyone know he’s an intellectual.
Reports suggest that Mr. Fox has no clue what Mr. Rabbit is reading, he just wants the others to think he’s smart.
What makes this puzzle difficult is the several yellow flowers populating the scene, making it harder to spot the bee.
The block green of the grass also makes it harder to spot.
They key to this optical illusion is to focus on the tops of the flowers to see if you can distinguish the bee’s round shape.
Are you ready, because the clock is ticking!
If you’re still struggling, a hint is to look for the black stripes that will stand out in the picture.
People who are able to solve the puzzle quickly possess good observational skills and high cognitive speed.
It tests your ability to process a high volume of visual information and the ability to concentrate under high amounts of pressure.
How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?
Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
Some benefits include:
- Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
- Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
- Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
- Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
- Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
- Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.
Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a great workout and may “boost your brain’s activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia.”
These can help to stimulate several parts of the brain at the same time.
Tasks like this can also provide people with a productive way to have fun and relax.
