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. How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?

Try the 10-question quiz that only 1% of Brits get full marks in
Do you want to test your brain power against the rest of the country? We all enjoy a bit of a quiz to test our mettle. If we can prove ourselves against friends and family, then all the better. But what about comparing your brain capacity to the rest of the country? Well, we have a 10-question quiz that can do just that. The questions, designed by London's Twist Museum, test our all-round brain capacity, as they are a mix of general knowledge, problem solving, cryptic challenges, and optical illusions. When creating the quiz, 2,000 people across the country were tested - with less than one per cent being able to get a 10 out of 10 score. When breaking the responses down by generation, Gen Z and Millenials produced the highest proportion of perfect scores, with Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation failing to get a single ace. However, when it came to some of the general knowledge questions, only 54 per cent of Gen Z members knew which author wrote 1984 and Animal Farm, compared to 91 per cent of the Silent Generation. There was a vast array of answers, with the highest proportion of people getting four right out of 10 (23 per cent). This was closely followed by five correct answers (21 per cent) and three (17 per cent). And more people came away with no correct answers (1.1 per cent) compared to those acing all the answers (0.95 per cent). See how you rank against the nation by taking the test and comparing yourself to the results of the Twist Museum quiz. QUESTIONS Q1. Which, if any, of these authors wrote 1984 and Animal Farm? Ernest Hemingway; Aldous Huxley; George Orwell; J.K. Rowling; None of the Above Q2. What is the square root of 144? 10; 11; 12; 13 Q3. You have a 3-litre jug, a 5-litre jug, and an unlimited water supply. How do you measure exactly 4 litres? You can't; Fill the 5l, pour into the 3l, leaving 2l; Fill the 3l, pour into the 5l; Fill the 5l and pour it out Q4. Which one of these is the odd one out? Broccoli; Carrot; Cucumber; Lettuce; None of the above Q5. If all bloops are razzies, and all razzies are lazzies, are all bloops definitely lazzies? Yes; No; Only sometimes; Cannot be determined Q6. You're shown a sealed envelope containing a card. You're told: "If the card is red on one side, then it has a circle on the other." Which, if any, of the following cards must you turn over to test this rule? A red card; A card with a circle; A card with a square; A blue card; None of the above Q7. Which, if any, of the following words connects these three: "Pine", "Crab", and "Sauce"? Apple; Claw; Meat; Shell; Spice; Sweat; Tree; None of the above Q8. What can you see in this image? Q9. How many triangles are there? Q10. Can you find the hidden spade in this picture? ANSWERS Q1. George Orwell Q2. 12 Q3. Fill the 5l, pour into the 3l, leaving 2l. You would then pour that into the empty 3l, fill up the 5l again and pour 1l into the 3l, making it full and leaving you with 4l in the bigger jug Q4. Carrot. It is a root vegetable, while the others are all leady or flowering parts of the plant Q5. Yes. Classic logic reasoning: If A = B and B = C, then A - C Q6. A card with a square. To test the rule, you must check whether a square could be on the back of a red card, falsifying the statement Q7. Apple. Pineapple, crabapple, apple sauce Q8. Q9. Q10. How did you get on? Did you manage a perfect score? Even if you didn't quite get 10/10, you may have outperformed the average for your generation. Gen Z responders got an average of 4.37, which was exactly the same as Gen X. Millenials only manage 4.23, which was the lowest score. Baby Boomers scored 4.42 and The Silent Generation came out on top with 4.83. However, there were far fewer of those aged 80+ that took part, meaning it was a smaller sample size.
