You have only 5 seconds: a quick but tricky puzzle

Our brain is a very energy-consuming organ, and therefore lazy. You can see this with a puzzle with similar images. And at the same time, you can challenge yourself.

This is the puzzle published by OBOZ.UA. On it, we see dozens of numbers 8, among which there is actually one six. However, your brain refuses to see it, it is more convenient and economical for it to believe that all the elements in the image are exactly the same. Try to convince it otherwise in 5 seconds.

This is exactly how optical illusions work. They exploit our habit of unconsciously reducing images to familiar shapes and patterns, even if they are not in reality. We look at a picture and see something familiar, and to notice the trick, we have to use out-of-the-box thinking and attention to detail.

That is why such puzzles are often included in intelligence tests. They allow you to effectively check how high a person's IQ is through their ability to quickly mobilize and force themselves to think creatively.

So, set the timer for 5 seconds and look at the image carefully. Try to figure out where exactly the six is hiding, which disturbs the absolute harmony on it.

If you manage to do it in the allotted time, your IQ can be considered high. If not, it means that your brain needs training. And there is no better way to do it than to find the right answer to this puzzle yourself. So keep searching for the six until you get it right.

For those who are struggling with the puzzle, we suggest checking the hint below.
