ONLY those with perfect vision will be able to spot the second man in this brain teaser in a matter of seconds. Put yourself to the test with this challenging puzzle to see if you have the eyes of a hawk. The first man with a parrot on his shoulder is east to spot but see if you can spot the second man in seven seconds. Start your timer and clear away any distractions to give yourself the best chance at beating the clock.

Search every part of the image carefully to make sure you don't miss anything. Don't let the bright red of the parrot or the axe in the castaway's hand distract you. The creators of this brain teaser are relying on you to be taken in by the man, his odd clothes, and the island surroundings. If you are going to solve this challenge without any help, it is vital that you think outside the box. Don't think that you are just looking for another man similar to the one you can see.

This is an optical illusion so make sure you get creative because rather than an actual man, you are looking for the illusion of a second person on the desert island. There are many places he could be. If you are struggling, a good tip is to minimise your search area. This means you are more likely to spot the finer details that could lead you to your answer. Try dividing the image into smaller sections like quarters and carefully examine each piece before going on to the next.

Don't forget that optical illusions can feature objects any way around and in anything. With this in mind, when searching the puzzle, perhaps turn it around to see if you spot anything new. Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions. Some benefits include:. Often there will be one element of the image that doesn't quite fit and this is part of the illusion.
