And you need to bring your A-game to solve this challenge or you’ll be tearing your hair out as you race against time.

But with the sharpest eyes and strongest minds, you have a great chance of success.

In a tricky puzzle, the iguana is well camouflaged in a modest image of a garden.

Green leaves, plants and grass blend together, making it harder to spot the animal.

It’s truly one of the hardest brain teasers ever created – and you might find yourself focusing more on the lush green trees than solving the challenges.

Although it may seem like a simple picture, this is no easy feat, and the average person gives up after a minute.

If you don’t do your best, you’re likely to follow them down the same path of failure.

But you can try your luck and see if you can solve the challenge and beat these people.

And you only have 13 seconds to solve it and become the winner.

So buckle up, set the timer and test your puzzle-solving skills.

Anyone can see plants – but you have 20/20 vision and a high IQ if you can spot seven differences in 9 seconds

But be warned, you need the sharpest eyes and strongest minds – and you must remain composed at all times.

You’re more likely to make a mistake if you try to rush it, so check every square inch of the image.

If you need help, try splitting the image into several parts.

Then search each section slowly, one at a time, from left to right.

But did you know that solving optical illusions is a great way to train your brain and improve your creative thinking?

Puzzles are deliberately designed to deceive our vision and can be used as simple indicators of intelligence.

How can optical illusions and brain teasers help me?

ENGAGING in activities like solving optical illusions and brain teasers can have many cognitive benefits because they can stimulate different regions of the brain.

Optical illusions make a little more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and that it is our brain that plays a key role in creating images and trying to protect us from potential threats around us.

Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world as quickly as possible despite the fact that the world is in 3D and the images on our retina are in 2D.

It can be very difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once, so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you’re seeing so you can react more quickly if the object you’re looking at looks dangerous.

When you look at an object, what you really see is the light that bounces off it and enters your eye, which is converted into electrical impulses that your brain then converts into an image.

Our brains can distort straight lines if an object in their midst appears to be approaching because it wants to emphasize a potential threat.

Different colors and light and dark can make objects of the same size look different, or make patterned images appear to be spinning.

Some benefits include:

Cognitive stimulation: These activities challenge the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
Problem Solving Skills: Regular practice improves analytical thinking and problem solving skills.
Memory Enhancement: These challenges often require recall and can contribute to better memory functioning.
Creativity: they encourage thinking outside the box, encourage creativity and innovative thought processes.
Focus and attention: working on optical illusions and brain teasers requires concentration, which contributes to improved focus.
Stress Relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
