A top education site has posted a school-themed optical illusion it claims only one in 10 people can solve in under 13 seconds.
The puzzle shows a typical schoolroom scene with a bell hidden amongst its busy scene.
The twist? Puzzlers only have a short period to find it.
Visual challenges, such as noticing the difference between two images or recognizing patterns, are often part of IQ evaluations, a series of standardized tests used to assess intelligence.
These puzzles are often timed and the IQ test for Mensa, an organization for people with exceptionally high IQs, challenges people to solve 35 increasingly hard visual puzzles in just 25 minutes.
Test your visual acuity with this week's visual challenge. Can you spot the bell within 13 seconds? The answer to the puzzle is circled in the picture below.
The puzzle shows a typical schoolroom scene, but with a hidden bell, and the twist that puzzlers only have a short period to find it
Did you manage to find the bell within the time limit
The puzzle posted by Jagran Josh this week has a single bell on display in the busy library scene.
As with many optical illusion puzzles, there are a couple of ‘decoy’ details that look a lot like a bell - like the yellow backpack on the student furthest in the right of the frame.
But the real one is very obvious once you spot it.
Don't fret if you're unable to accomplish the task.
Jagran Josh has tips to help: Limit distractions. Silence your tech and focus solely on the picture.
Also, you can zoom in on the image and look at it in sections for a closer examination of its elements.
Human beings have been making optical illusion art since the dawn of history.
Research in 2010 found paleolithic cave artists in several caves in France deliberately confused woolly mammoths and bison in a similar fashion to a famous duck/rabbit illusion optical illusion.
And ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle reported the ‘motion aftereffect’ optical illusion after looking at waterfalls.
This visual illusion occurs when a stationary object appears to move in the opposite direction of moving object you had previously been watching.
In the 19th century, the invention of photography and devices such as the stereoscope boosted the study of visual illusions.
