Only geniuses can find the goat's owner in this tricky brainteaser
Brainteasers like this one might seem like a mere bit of fun - or a handy distraction on your morning commute - but research has suggested they might actually help our central nervous system. This can result in a slew of cognitive benefits, including better attention span and concentration levels. So, let's dive straight in... Where is the goat's owner?
In the image above, you can easily spot a goat munching on some foliage, perhaps living the high life in the Irish countryside. But, something seems to be missing... Where is his owner?
Hidden within the black-and-white picture is actually a woman, and you've got just five seconds to locate her to prove you have the 'most attentive' eyes. Fail, and it's probably time you booked that appointment at Specsavers.
As previously reported, we can't really drop any hints for this tricky brainteaser without simply handing you the answer. However, zooming in on the image might be useful.
Throwing in the towel already, or reckon you've finally cracked it? Scroll down to the bottom of the article for the answer - but no cheating.
If this optical illusion proved no challenge for someone with eagle-eyed vision like yourself, you might fancy taking on something a tad more demanding. This puzzling conundrum is devised by the UK's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and can only be solved by someone with spy-worthy analytical abilities. Seriously, you'll need to be a modern-day genius to crack this one.

RTÉ presenter Seán Rocks dies aged 63 after brief illness
RTÉ radio presenter and actor Seán Rocks has died following a brief illness. He was 63. Rocks is best known to Irish audiences as the host of the broadcaster's long-running Radio 1 arts and culture show, Arena, which has aired on weeknights since 2009. On Arena, he interviewed countless high-profile actors, playwrights, authors, musicians, and artists, including Salman Rushdie, Edna O'Brien, Frank McGuinness, Roddy Doyle, Rupert Everett, Martin Sheen, Nicola Coughlan, and Brendan Gleeson. He had hosted the programme as recently as last Friday. Prior to Arena, Rocks worked as a presenter with RTÉ Lyric FM for nine years. Outside of radio, Rocks worked extensively as an actor both in Ireland and abroad, appearing on stage at the Abbey, Peacock, and Gate Theatres, as well as the Royal Court, National, Donmar Warehouse, and Tricycle theatres in London. His stage work included collaborations with several notable companies, including Rough Magic, Druid, and Field Day. "It is with enormous shock and sadness that we learned today of Seán's untimely passing," RTÉ director-general Kevin Bakhurst said on Thursday morning. "Seán said once: 'Radio is never about the presenter. It's about the person who is opposite you.' Loyal listeners, especially to Seán's beloved and long-running Arena on RTÉ Radio 1, will recognise the man in that quote: modest yet learned; subtle yet probing; curious yet polite." Mr Bakhurst said the "listener at home" was always Seán Rocks' focus. "Not only is radio the poorer for his passing, but so too has Ireland lost one of its most passionate advocates for the arts, and one of its most informed and versatile voices. I want to extend my most sincere sympathies to Seán's beloved Catherine, his children Christian and Morgan, his friends, and his colleagues at this terrible time.' Irish Examiner Arts/Culture Editor Des O'Driscoll described Seán Rocks as a "brilliant broadcaster". "He always sounded so knowledgeable in those interviews on Arena, and had a lovely warm manner that got the best out of his guests," he said. RTÉ's Director of Audio Patricia Monahan said her colleague's "passion for radio and the arts was infectious," and that his curiosity across cinema, theatre, books, and classical music "was compelling to listen to." "He was interested in everyone's point of view and had a great ability to command an audience's attention. He was never more at home than when he was on stage," she said. Ms Monahan added that Seán Rocks was always "full of energy and ambition for the future" and called his death "a huge, untimely loss to radio and RTÉ." "He will be sorely missed by his RTÉ Radio 1 colleagues and his wider RTÉ family. Our thoughts are of course with his beloved, Catherine, children Christian and Morgan and his extended family and friends," she added. "As you take your final bow Seán, May you rest in peace.'

The procession set off from Kilkenny Castle, weaving its way down High Street to Bateman Quay and crossing the River Nore to Butler House. There, the crowd paused for a group photograph before the family fun day started in the afternoon. The celebrations continued in the gardens of the Butler Gallery, as families and friends enjoyed performances from local and visiting artists such as Seafall, MARYANN, Antanna, poet Samantha Joyce, and singer Orlaith, compered by Poppy de Scrace. "We were overwhelmed by the show of support at Saturday's pride parade,' said Kilkenny Pride co-chair Alan Slattery. 'To see hundreds of people, young and old, clapping and cheering as we walked past was a wonderful experience. "We couldn't have asked for a better day."

More than 75 local businesses lent their support to the Kilkenny Pride Festival through funding, spot prizes, and donations. Kilkenny Pride Festival extended its thanks to the businesses, sponsors, volunteers and the committee members, Gary Chadwick, Ruth Flanagan, Etaoin Holahan, Helena Melin, Niamh Morgan, and Alan Slattery, for bringing it to life.
