Everyone can see the bear – but you need 20/20 vision & a high IQ if you can spot the pesky bee in 7 seconds
THIS is the buzzy brainteaser that challenges you to spot the pesky bee in the flower bed.
Everyone can see the animals playing among the plants, but only those with 20/20 vision and a high IQ can spot the bee in seven seconds.
The puzzle will remind you of the last time you went prancing merrily through a field of beautiful cartoon flowers.
You run into your animal pals, all of whom are engaged in different actives.
Your favourite, Mr Porcupine, is balancing an apple on its head for some reason, so they won’t be talking to you for several hours.
The two penguins, who have always gossiped behind your back, are eating ice cream, which makes sense, given they don’t like non-cold places.
Of course Mr. Rabbit is reading, he’s always so desperate to let everyone know he’s an intellectual.
Reports suggest that Mr. Fox has no clue what Mr. Rabbit is reading, he just wants the others to think he’s smart.
What makes this puzzle difficult is the several yellow flowers populating the scene, making it harder to spot the bee.
The block green of the grass also makes it harder to spot.
They key to this optical illusion is to focus on the tops of the flowers to see if you can distinguish the bee’s round shape.
Are you ready, because the clock is ticking!
If you’re still struggling, a hint is to look for the black stripes that will stand out in the picture.
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.
