Yes, there really is a hammer there.
For the puzzle geeks among you, there’s an extra catch: you have to try to find all eight objects within seven seconds.
But be careful – once you spot the key, it’s hard to see anything else.

Although it may seem like a simple picture, this is not an easy endeavor and 99 percent of people give up before they find the hammer.
Brain teasers like these are deliberately designed to trick our eyesight and can be used as simple indicators of intelligence.
Advantages of brain teasers
RESEARCHERS have developed many tests to show how different regions of the brain respond to brain teasers.
They are not only entertaining, but shed light on how our brain interprets visual data.
By giving your brain a little exercise on a regular basis, you improve your ability to focus and observe details.
Studies have shown that people who regularly face optical illusions and puzzles see great improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
Improved concentration and attention span, in turn, can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.
Onlookers are said to have 20/20 vision and a very high IQ if they can spot the hammer.
This puzzle is especially difficult because of the rich color in the background of the picture.
The busy nature of the scene, filled with adventurers of all ages, masses of greenery, a wild eagle and rogue objects, offered the perfect camouflage for the hammer.
This is because the artistic details that have gone into this illusion make it difficult for your eyes to focus on any object.
Anyone can see shamrocks, but you have the luck of the Irish if you spot one four-leaf clover in 20 seconds
