Everyone can spot the solitaire symbols in this brain teaser – but only 10% can spot the spade in under 30 seconds
TEST your IQ to the max with this mind-boggling brainteaser, that only the most hawk-eyed can figure out.
Everyone can see the card suits, but only those with 20/20 vision can spot the single spade in under 30 seconds.
Whether you're trying to improve your sight, or test your IQ, this puzzle will prove a challenge to many readers.
Put your observation skills to the test and figure out whether you have what it takes to spot the convertible in just a few seconds.
Make sure to set your stopwatch before undertaking this challenge, to make it extra hard for yourself.
If you can do it in under 30 seconds, you are said to have the eyes of an eagle.
The tricky puzzle, provided by Twist Museum depicts a grid of hearts, diamonds and clubs.
At first glance, it looks like there are no spades at all within the mix.
However, those with a high IQ will immediately be able to spot that this is not the case.
Hidden amongst the other suits is one singular spade.
Unless you're lucky enough to spot the spade immediately, we recommend analysing the image very carefully.
The visual deception of this image will have you peeling your eyes, but the payoff is worth it.
Everyone can spot the woman & a fan in the sweaty bedroom scene - but can you find 5 hidden changes in under 10 seconds?
If you need a hint, we recommend focusing on the left hand side of the image.
The spade can be found towards the bottom of the image.
If you're looking for something a bit harder, only those with eagle eyes will be able to find the hidden word amongst the flowers in this summer scene.
Another tricky puzzle challenges readers to say the colour without reading the word.

Sam Thompson grimaces during first day of gruelling Soccer Aid challenge as his family pay tribute to his 'strength and resilience' after 'tricky' split from Zara McDermott
Sam Thompson appeared in pain as he grimaced after kicking off his gruelling Soccer Aid challenge on Monday. The I'm A Celeb star, 32, has been given the task to travel a mammoth 260-mile journey on both bike and foot to deliver the match ball to its new home in Old Trafford, with the hope of raising much-needed funds for Unicef. To complete the challenge, Sam is expected to run a marathon for five days and cycle in between, ensuring the ball arrives on June 6, just in time for kickoff on Sunday, June 15. In snaps from day one of the challenge, Sam looked exhausted as he powered through before sprawling out on a garden chair as he took a break from the gruelling task. And it appeared he had already sustained an injury as the Instagram for his Staying Relevant podcast shared a snap of him being seen to by a medic. At the start line were his sister Louise Thompson, her partner Ryan Libbey and Sam's nephew Leo. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Louise paid tribute to her little brother on Instagram hours before the start of the challenge, and for the first time spoke out on his 'tricky' few months following his split from long-term girlfriend Zara McDermott. 'My brother has been quite quiet online this year. It's not been the easiest time for him,' Louise admitted. 'But he has been secretly squirrelling his energy into something big. Something much much bigger than himself, and he is about to show us just how strong he is.' 'Without sounding too cliche, it really is during the tricky times in life that we find the greatest strength and resilience. Life will throw challenges at all of us at one point or another and if we can choose to take a moment to pause and reflect, and to look both inwards AND outwards, then sometimes a breakdown can turn into a breakthrough.' Addressing her brother, Louise said she was in awe at how he has channelled his energies into the challenge. 'I think it's incredibly impressive how hard you've trained this year, building up so much mental and physical strength, you've cycled at home for hours and hours on end, sometimes for 3/4 hours at a time on your stationary road bike, jogged secret marathons without telling anyone and not complained once,' she wrote. 'Occasionally you'll pop over for an ice bath and listen to Macy gray, but the reality is you could have been out enjoying the summer sun at the pub like most people your age getting over a breakup.' 'Your dedication is beautiful! And probably not that easy to stay so focused as someone with adhd.' Sam took the first steps of his gruelling Match Ball Mission for Soccer Aid for UNICEF challenge on Monday with his sister Louise, Ryan Libbey and nephew Leo all cheering him on Sam has four more challenging days to go as he heads north towards the final whistle in Old Trafford, Manchester on Friday June 6. The mammoth mission will be captured for a one-off special documentary: Sam Thompson's Match Ball Mission Friday 13th June 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player. Sam is putting his physical and mental strength to the test to raise vital funds to support UNICEF's work for children around the world to grow up safe, healthy and able to play. This year, thanks to the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, every donation made to Soccer Aid for UNICEF will be doubled – up to £5 million. The star's new love interest Samie Elishi will no doubt be cheering him on too. The Love Island star, 25, has been dating the podcast presenter, 32, since last month, when the pair were pictured sharing a kiss at Olivia Attwood 's birthday bash. Earlier this week, Samie's distance from Sam while she attended a brand trip to Mykonos had briefly sparked rumours they'd split, but a source has since hit back at the claims. Addressing her brother, Louise was in awe at how Sam has channelled his energies into the challenge A source close to the couple told MailOnline: 'Any suggestion that Sam and Samie have split up is untrue. 'They're loving spending time together and always make the most of off days between their busy schedules.' Elsewhere Sam's ex Zara McDermott has been packing on the PDA with her new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson during a romantic holiday to Costa Rica.

EXCLUSIVE Sam Thompson gives a major update on his relationship with Samie Elishi as he kicks off first day of gruelling Soccer Aid challenge
Sam Thompson has given an update on his relationship with Samie Elishi as he kicked off the first day of his intense Soccer Aid challenge on Monday. The I'm A Celeb star, 32, has been given the task to travel a mammoth 260-mile journey on both bike and foot to deliver the match ball to its new home in Old Trafford, with the hope of raising much-needed funds for Unicef. To complete the challenge, Sam is expected to run a marathon for five days and cycle in between, ensuring the ball arrives on June 6, just in time for kickoff on Sunday, June 15. While his sister Louise and her partner Ryan Libbey were present at the starting line to show their support, Samie was notably absent. Speaking just moments ahead of the challenge, Sam revealed that several close friends, including best mate Jamie Laing, have remained tight-lipped about whether they'll join him along the way. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. However, he did confirm whether or not Samie, who he has been dating since April, will be making an appearance. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Sam said: Throughout the experience, I hope there'll be a few people.' When asked directly if Samie would be making an appearance, he responded: 'I feel like... this is so much more than info I dating or hooking up with. 'And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean? 'You know, If I had a wife or something like, like a girlfriend of years it might be a different, I just think that I don't want to do anything that will take away from this. 'Like, this challenge and the Unicef And the spotlight needs to be on them. Like, I'm literally a vehicle. 'That's how I'm seeing it. I'm, like, just a thing that is running to try and make money, so I want to keep it that way.' Elsewhere in the chat, Sam opened up about what he believes will be the biggest challenge he'll face over the next five days. He said: 'The hard part of this challenge is gonna be the fear of not completing it. 'That that will, is and will always be the hardest thing in my head is the fear of injury and not being able to play it. 'I just, I have to be able to get of course I finish line. 'And like, you've seen how many people are here. Like, I just letting people down is my biggest week, like, my fear of letting you down a big sweeter, so that is terrifying to me.' Last month, Sam opened up about his autism diagnosis, and when asked how he thinks it might impact his journey, he shared candidly: 'I can find it really had to stick to one thing, that's really tough, especially when you have ADHD. 'You know, there's always something else to do and always, you know, here there and everywhere. You overthink everything. you think ahead a lot. 'I've been very much doing that. Yeah.. The hper focus is something that I'm hoping will actually help. 'I don't know what it's going to be like when I'm actually, like, out there. Like, I don't know how I'm going to be in my own head. I'm really worried about my own head. 'I've never really, as I said, done anything like this before, so I don't know what money my brain is going to be, right. 'Yeah. I' be worried about that, actually. You know, I get that, is that definitely a mental challenge. 'I'm just start talking to myself and like.. And with your thoughts. Yeah, and I'm quite weak mentally, actually.' As for his reason for taking part in this massive challenge, Sam explained: 'This challenge, to be honest with you, 'cause I went to Gosemala means so much more than I ever expected. 'And I was banging, I don't know if anyone knows, I was banging on Unicef's door to allow me to do one of those trips. 'And help in any way I could. But this obviously wasn't on the agenda at that point. So to be able to go there and do and see the work they do. 'I can't tell it's beautiful. And not in a way that I expected. 'Like, I kind of went out there, expecting, you know, sadness and that was the sort of general message of the day. 'It wasn't that at all. It was optimism, it was hope, it was joy in these children's eyes, like we really, like the bare minimum but so happy, so hopeful. 'And it's like, if we can just give them, I know this sounds so crazy, but if you, can they just give him, like, the smallest platform, they will take that and run with it. 'I'm saying this now, they'll be Prime ministers. They'll be astros. They'll be like everything that we said we were going to be when we were kids. 'They're going to do it.' Last month, Sam has shared an exclusive video diary from his trip to Guatemala, where he got the chance to see the work of a UNICEF supported project. His five day challenge is also set to feature in an ITV documentary, which will be broadcast on June 13. This year, thanks to the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, every donation made to Soccer Aid for UNICEF will be doubled – up to £5 million. To donate visit
