The repetitiveness of this image will probably trick your brain into thinking there is no difference between the cars if you’re not careful.
In psychology, the reason this conundrum can be challenging is a concept known as change blindness.
This term essentially means that the brain can become blind to differences within patterns or between two images as a function of evolution.
Importantly, people prepare to focus on visual stimuli and draw large conclusions about the situation; to make this possible, the brain tunes out small details to make sense of the bigger picture.
In a world where change blindness doesn’t exist at all, people would wander around overwhelmed and often unable to focus, in fact lower levels of change blindness on a daily basis are central struggles in certain neurodivergences like ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The good news is that to tackle these brain-teasers, you can make an effort to overcome change blindness.
Instead of taking in the whole picture, try going row by row, comparing cars one by one.
Yes, a timer is set, but scanning one at a time is likely to yield more success than staring at a picture and hoping something jumps out at you.
Of course, you can always try another tactic, although more time-consuming, it is effective.
These cars are simple pictures with several qualities, you can try to guess what the difference between them might be and compare each of the cars focusing on that aspect.
Is it a different color, a different size, does it have a third wheel or one less window?
A challenge like this can be frustrating, so read on if you want to pick up some helpful tips:
- This car is ordinary in every way, apart from being a little different from other cars, it wouldn’t really stand out compared to any other car with typical characteristics.
- There are no major color differences, but despite the color tones matching, their shades may not.
- Whoever drives in this car has a little less to worry about UV radiation due to the tinted windows.
Here’s the answer – the sixth car in the third row has tinted windows, almost black compared to the gray windows of all the other vehicles.
