THERE is one object on this decorated shelf that does not have a matching pair.
Pairs from lush green plants to hat-wearing gnomes adorn this shelf.
However, there is one item that does not have a double in this image.
Set yourself a 10 second timer to scan the image.
Start by looking for items you can clearly see have a double, such as the two friendly gnomes.
To make it more of challenge, some of the objects have changed position so you will have to have a trained eye to spot the pairs quickly.
If you are having trouble try to group them by item.
Start looking for double plants, then books, then statues, etc.
For those who are having trouble, the answer is circled for you below.
If this was too easy for you, try these illusions for more of a challenge.
Test your eyesight with this brainteaser by Lenstore.
Try to spot the misspelled word in this sea of words.
You have 20 seconds to find the incorrect spelling of “sight.”
It’s a lot to look at head-on and may hurt your eyes.
Try to go up and down, row by row, to find the rouge word.
If you found that one easily, try to find the corn hiding in the field of pineapple next by artist Gergely Dudas.
Spend 10 seconds searching for four sneaky ears of corn among all the yellow fruit.
The science behind optical illusions
This brief explanation may help to unscramble your brain…
- Optical illusions make a little bit more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and it is our brains that play the key role in creating images and trying to protect us from the potential threats around us
- Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world at the quickest pace it can despite the world being in 3D and the images on our retinas being in 2D
- It can be really difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you see so you can have quicker reaction times if the object you’re looking at looks dangerous
- When you look at an object what you’re really seeing is the light that bounced off of it and entered your eye, which is converted into electrical impulses that your brain then turns into an image
- Our brains can warp straight lines if an object in the middle of them looks like it’s drawing closer as it wants to emphasize the potential threat
- Different colours and light and dark can make the same sized objects look different or make patterned images look like they’re spinning
On your search, you may also notice a few mice peering out from behind the pineapple as well.
What makes this challenge so hard is that both the fruit and corn are the same color.
Do your best to spot it. Try to look for small differences as you go row by row through the pineapple.
In this final illusion, try to spot the six safety hazards in this crowded workshop in under 30 seconds.
There is a lot going on in this image so be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
Be sure to keep track of each hazard you spot because there are six to find.
