A new visual puzzle challenges readers to find three apples hidden among a crowd of birds within 11 seconds.
The image shows numerous colorful birds perched on feeders. Among them, three apples are cleverly hidden, barely distinguishable at first glance from the birds around them.
Spotting them requires sharp eyesight along with the ability to quickly scan a complex image and focus on details. Readers are told to time themselves for 11 seconds, the amount of time someone with truly sharp eyesight should need to spot all three.
Why these puzzles matter
Such visual puzzles are described as more than entertainment. They are also a tool used to study how the human brain processes and interprets the information around it, and regular practice with this type of puzzle is said to help maintain concentration and reaction speed.
For those who could not find the apples, the answer is marked in a second image.
Anyone who finished within the time limit is said to have excellent observation skills and strong logical problem solving abilities.
