THIS is the brainteaser that challenges you to use the limited amount of maths you can remember from school and find the odd number. Everyone can see the rows of 76, but only those with the super sharp mathematician and an attention to detail can spot the odd number in just 12 seconds.

The puzzle will remind you of the last time you were faced with numbers, unwarded, during your day. At first you think that you can remember lots, but then you find yourself adding on your fingers when nobody is looking. Readers are reminded not to use trigonometry for this teaser, however, as this is more to do with shapes than maths.

Even then, some shapes are just harder to see than others, particularly when you've got the threatening context of maths clouding your mind. Odd numbers have no business hanging around with even ones anyway, because everyone knows that odds have more fun.

This teaser is tricky because there isn't a lot to look at apart from the same number and a bright green background. The layout of the grid also makes it harder to search the image freely. The key to this teaser is to ignore the grid layout, as it will only slow you down.

Are you ready, because the clock is ticking!. If you're struggling, a hint would be to pay attention to any changes in the number six. People who are able to solve the puzzle quickly possess good observational skills and high cognitive speed. It tests your ability to process a high volume of visual information and the ability to concentrate under high amounts of pressure.
