A new brainteaser is challenging even the sharpest eyes, with reports claiming that only two per cent of people can find all four animals hidden in a tranquil seaside painting. The puzzle, shared by Playbuzz, features a coastal scene with a cliffside house and ships in the distance, but concealed within are an antelope, a fox, a bat, and a flamingo.
According to the puzzle's creators, three of the animals are hidden within the cliff itself, while the fourth is located on the beach. Viewers are given just five seconds to spot all four, a task that has proven too difficult for 98 per cent of participants.
Experts say that brainteasers like this can help improve cognitive health and memory, and may even reduce the risk of dementia. The puzzle serves as a fun way to hone focus and attention to detail, skills that are increasingly valuable in today's fast-paced world.
For those who manage to find all four animals, the next challenge is a set of ten pub-style questions designed to trip up even the most knowledgeable. To be considered a modern-day genius, participants must answer at least eight correctly, with only three seconds per question.
