Only those with 20/20 vision can spot Saint Nick in this festive brainteaser – but you have to do it in under 17 seconds
SANTA’S already visited the town, but if you’re still in the festive spirit you can find the jolly man in a new brainteaser.
A festive image shows cars surrounded by decorated fir, snowflakes and prezzies.
But somewhere in the colourful brainteaser is St Nick waiting to be discovered.
Car retailer Motorpoint created the image that features hundreds of cars driving home for Christmas alongside other seasonal items.
Discussing what motorists need to be aware of when travelling to see their loved ones on high-traffic days, Tim Rodie, Motorpoint’s resident driving expert, said: ”It’s no secret that driving during the festive season can be stressful.
”This is particularly true for drivers who aren’t used to making long journeys or spending lots of time in their vehicles.
”For anyone planning longer journeys to visit friends and family this Christmas, my biggest piece of advice would be to do as much as possible to reduce stress on the day you are travelling.
”For example, filling your car with fuel a couple of days before you travel might seem simple, but it can mean you start your journey much more relaxed.”
However the main goal of the image is to test how good your vision is.
If you struggle to locate Santa amongst the traffic, fear not, as you are not alone.
Just a mere nine percent of people can beat this brainteaser in under 17 seconds – which might seem like enough time but is actually more challenging than you’d imagine.
Try to focus your attention on the bottom right of the brainteaser, but do not worry if you cannot see Santa right away – only 68 percent of people could see Santa hidden within the festive scene.
”It takes most people almost a minute to solve this tricky brainteaser, so don’t worry if you didn’t crack it this time,” Motorpoint shared.
As an early Christmas present, Motorpoint has revealed exactly where Santa was hiding within the image.
Seeing as time is already up, you should’ve found St Nick by now.
