THIS is the fruity brainteaser that challenges you to spot the lemon hidden in the assortment of other fruits.
Everyone can see the apples, pears and oranges chillin’ out like nobody’s business, but only those with 20/20 vision and a high IQ can spot the hidden yellow intruder in five seconds.

This puzzle will remind you of the last time you saw a bunch of fruit trying to act natural after being discovered.
It is one thing to see apples fraternizing with pears, but it is truly shocking to see oranges in the same room after the incident.
It seems the fruit population has overcome the crippling construct of segregation.
But we will never know if they’ve learnt to accept themselves for who they really are.
One thing is the same, though, apples are the slobs of the fruit kingdom.
It is unknown why they think leaving their friends’ cores lying around is appropriate.
Readers are advised not to copy this behaviour.
This teaser is tough because of the number of yellow fruits that aren’t lemons there to distract you.
The variety of colours also makes this difficult.
The key to this one is to try and ignore the other fruits that can’t be the one you’re looking for.
Are you ready, because the clock is ticking!
If you’re struggling, a hint would be to pay attention to the shapes of the fruit too, not just the colours.
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.
