The image above depicts a sea of OOOs amongst an ombre background of orange and yellow. But, hiding in plain sight is actually a rogue number – and you need to find it in just 12 seconds to prove you have laser-sharp vision. So, set your timer and get searching!
As previously reported, your eyes will naturally gravitate towards all the OOOs rather than immediately identifying the numbers – but stay focused, as time is of the essence. Remember, you’ve only got 12 seconds, so use all of the attention to detail and pattern recognition you can muster.
If you’re staring at the image and don’t know where to begin, perhaps a hint might help. Instead of squandering time scanning the top of the picture, let your gaze drift towards the bottom of the image.
