This fiendishly difficult brain teaser is leaving people scratching their heads as they try to find the seahorse hiding within the well-camouflaged image in just five seconds
Have you got what it takes to solve this puzzle?
We all know that working out our minds is as important as exercising our bodies, and to get their daily brain boost, many people have been trying out this brain teaser – and it’s leaving them frustrated as the struggle to solve it. Puzzles and optical illusions like this one force you to think outside of the box to find the answer, so they’re great for improving cognitive function.
In this puzzle, you must find the seahorse hiding within the aquarium in just five seconds. And apparently only people with a high IQ can solve it.
The sea creature is hiding in plain sight amongst the well-camouflaged image, which includes a typical fish tank scene accompanied by tropical fish and snazzy accessories. While this brainteaser may leave players scratching their heads for ages, it’s a good way for people to challenge their perception.
In order to test your observation skills, those who are giving this puzzle a go should aim to spot the seahorse in five seconds. The seahorse, which is grey-ish black in colour, is difficult to see as it’s camouflaged within the image well and not immediately obvious to the human eye.
If you’re still struggling to find the species, try looking around the left side of the image. Can you see it? If not, scroll down below to see the answer…
The dark seahorse is hidden in the bottom left corner and can be seen sitting on a piece of rock.
If that one was too easy for you, why not try your hand at something a little different? Only sharp-eyed players can spot the hidden number in this tricky puzzle, while this brain teaser is so difficult that only the “smartest people” can find the odd items lurking in the messy suitcase.
There are also different types of puzzles you can try, such as this fiendishly difficult quiz shared by the question editor for BBC Two’s Only Connect, or this maths equation that is said to be so tricky that only those with the IQ of Albert Einstein can solve it, or even this Who Wants To Be A Millionaire jackpot question that saw one contestant miss out on £1 million.
