DRIVERS are challenged to solve the chaos of the intersection in a new optical illusion.
Only drivers with a high IQ can decide which of the seven cars in the image below needs to be removed to get traffic flowing again.

The animated image, posted on Xu, sparked a heated debate among social media users.
It shows a row of multi-colored cars numbered one through seven locked in a four-way traffic jam at an intersection.
The caption read: “Seven cars met at the intersection and a traffic jam was created.
“If one car were removed from the picture, the others would move freely on their way.
“Which car would you remove?”
Commenters were quick to share their opinions, but not everyone could agree on one answer.
Some have suggested that removing the number two car could reduce congestion.
But that would result in a collision with the number one car.
Likewise, others confidently claimed that number six was the problem, but if it wasn’t there, cars three and seven would have collided.
However, the top drivers singled themselves out by choosing number three as the problem engine.
The best explanation came from one user, who wrote: “If you notice that the red car is the only one driving on the left side of the image, then you might realize that moving it would solve the problem.
“That would allow cars 1 and 2 to go straight.”
“As a result, cars 4 and 5 can continue their journey, before cars 6 and 7 are the last to leave the intersection.”
Number three is also the only car not to have another stacked behind it, eliminating the risk of a side impact.
It comes after puzzle fans have been treated to a number of other motoring-based brain teasers.
For example, can you spot a twist on the car theme in a scenic beach scene?
And while everyone can spot the cars, can you spot the hidden bike in this aerial photo?
Meanwhile, one woman gave fans a tour inside her RV, which looks more like a five-star hotel and is full of surprises.
