Everyone can see the fruit, but you have 20/20 vision if you can spot the 2 birds hiding in the wreath in 8 seconds
IT is a beautiful wreath, but can you spot the two birds hiding in it?
Everyone can see the fruit, that's the easy part of this game.
But the feathery creatures are more difficult to find.
The clock is ticking and you have only eight seconds to complete this task.
So stop prevaricating and start your search.
If you are successful, give yourself a pat on the back.
It means you have 20/20 vision and a high level of visual acuity.
This challenge comes from Artificial Hannah (@artificialhannah).
She makes faux flower wreaths for every season and event.
There is a fall-like flavor to this particular one.
The color spectrum is oranges, rusts, browns, and ambers.
Items include pine cones, berries, apples, flowers, and leaves.
Amongst this creative extravaganza hide two birds.
They are a pair of robins and blend in so well that they are rendered almost invisible.
One commenter was overwhelmed by the beautiful wreath rather than the bird search.
“It is absolutely gorgeous," they said.
But we can give gamers a clue to this puzzle.
The benefits of optical illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to optical illusions. Here are some of the benefits.
Benefits:
- They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data
- By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details
- Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention
- Improved concentration and attention span, in turn, can help prevent cognitive decline in older age.
- Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that starting with an optical illusion can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print
Look at the wreath as if it was a clock face.
Now look at 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock. Have you seen them yet?
If you remain stumped, we have circled the robins below.
We have plenty more games to choose from if you want to face another challenge.
There is a great variety, to suit all ages, abilities, and levels of patience.
We've gone for something completely different in this puzzle.
This time your search takes place on a beach crowded with umbrellas.
But something is out of place here, because you are looking for a pair of skis and you have 15 seconds and less to find them.
Dozens of red-and-white striped chairs are packed on the beach, back to back, interspersed with the occasional red-and-white umbrella.
Looking even closer will reveal several tiny crabs crawling around the sand and even a pair of dolphins jumping in the background.
But can you see a small pair of red skis?
We are going to give you a clue because this is a hard one.
Study the left bottom corner of the picture and you should find the skis.

Well done if you were successful and commiserations if you failed.
Better luck next time.
