One parent has left swathes of Brits stumped after creating an impossible brainteaser for her kid. You'll need to have a laser-sharp mind and be able to think outside of the box to solve this puzzle, which has gone viral for its simple but deceiving solution. If the little ones are driving you crazy while they're off school for the Christmas holidays, this is a great way to keep them quiet for at least a couple of minutes.
Regularly attempting brainteasers has also been shown to positively impact the central nervous system. This can actually result in many cognitive improvements, including better attention span and concentration levels. So, it's technically a kind of mental exercise!.
The brainteaser above shows a circle with a dot in the middle. You need to copy the layout and then place the pencil on the dot. Now, you need to move the pencil from the centre to the other side of the circle without lifting it or marking the paper. Sounds impossible, right?.
