It’s almost festive season and this tricky brain teaser will certainly get you in the Christmas spirit. Optical illusions are a great way to get your mind active – and not to mention it’s a fun way to unwind after a long day at work.

However, some tricky ones can take a few minutes to solve and leave us feeling frustrated until we find the answer. Why not try to impress your friends with your skill – and see if you spot the hidden deer in this photo? But you don’t have long as it should only take you up to 8 seconds to figure it out.

If you get it right it means you have a high IQ and a high visual intelligence, which is the ability to process and understand visual information quickly and accurately. This means you’re able to spot details that others may miss. While looking at a picture you must spot the deer, but it can be difficult to do so at first since the image has several distracting elements.

The picture shows three cheerful children in a forest playing in the snow. Two of the children are building a snowman while the other is holding a sleigh. Surrounding them are several trees.

Are you struggling to find it? The deer is small and well-camouflaged, so you’ll need to pay attention to small details to find it. If you’ve been unable to spot it by now, you’ll notice the deer is in the left-hand corner. If you were able to get it straightway, you have a sharp eye.

Ready for another challenge? In this latest brain teaser, you’re challenged to look at multiple number plates and work out which ones there are two of. Another brain teaser challenges you to count the number of Fs in a sentence, and it’s a lot harder than it looks as our brains tend to skim-read certain words. If you want to try another one, this one challenges you to find the number 5878, while this one requires you to hunt for the buzzing bee inside a girl’s bedroom.
