Eric the fluffy white cat is threatening to upend a dinner table full of wine glasses in this puzzling image.
How long does it take you to find him?
Can you spot the feline before he manages to knock over the red wine?
If you can spot him within five seconds, you have fantastic vision and a high IQ.
This puzzle is also a great way to give your brain a workout.
Taking five minutes out of your day to do a puzzle has numerous health benefits including the prevention of cognitive decline in old age.
Eric has previously given readers of The U.S. Sun the runaround by hiding in the kitchen and a secret space while his owners prepared for their travels.
Once again the little cat is making the most of his fair coloring to blend into the background of a dining room.
The white plates and napkins along with the brown placemats and table cloth seamlessly blend in with the stone walls and white fireplace, giving him the perfect camouflage.
In addition to this, the tall wine glasses, carafe, and candle sticks mean that Eric is even harder to find.
Many puzzlers find one tip useful when spotting the finer details they are looking for.
Try dividing the image up into smaller sections to minimize your search area.
Taking the image bit-by-bit means that you are less likely to miss key details and much more likely to find Eric.
Benefits of brainteasers and optical illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to brainteasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.
- They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
- By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
- Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention.
