Everyone can see the beach – but you have 20/20 vision & a high IQ if you can spot the dogs in 22 seconds
PUT your vision to the test with this beach-themed challenge that will make you wish for summer.
While the lighthouse in this image is obvious, it is more of a trick if you can spot all of the dogs.
The creators at West Wales Holiday Cottages did not want to make the job easy for you with numerous distractions and a staggering 25 dogs to find.
The busy beach scene relies on you being distracted from your goal with so many things to look at including the antics of the animals and the people on the sand.
You have just 22 seconds to find all of the dogs, this means you are truly racing the clock with the challenge of finding more than one pooch per second.
While some are easy to spot, others are hiding in plain sight.
If you want a clue, all of the dogs are enjoying the waves except for one.
This last dog may be the hardest for you to find so keep your eyes peeled.
The use of eye-catching colours means your eyes are always being pulled from their focus.
It is also important to remove any other distractions around you.
If you feel like you are wasting time, do not worry, as regularly practising puzzles like this does wonders for your cognitive health.
You are essentially making time to give your brain a workout.
