Only the sharpest minds can find the telephone within the time limit.
We all know how important it is to give our minds some much-needed exercise as well as the rest of our bodies, and one of the best ways to do that is through challenging yourself to solve tricky puzzles that help boost your cognitive function. One such puzzle is this tricky Deal or No Deal-themed brain teaser, in which you must find the hidden phone in the game show scene within the 32-second time limit. But be careful - it's so tricky that one in 10 people abandon the search.
You only have 32 seconds to find the phone (Tombola)Take a look at the picture above, which was put together by Tombola to celebrate the launch of their new Deal or No Deal-themed games. The image shows 11 people who appear to be taking part in the popular TV game show, as they all have numbered red boxes standing on podiums in front of them. There's an audience and stage lights also visible in the picture, but one important part of the Deal or No Deal set is missing - the phone.
Your job is to search the image to find the iconic black telephone used to call the mysterious Banker. According to Tombola, it takes the average person 32 seconds to locate the phone, and around 1 in 10 people ultimately give up before they're able to find it. So can you see where it is?
You'll have to look closely at the image, as the phone definitely isn't easy to spot at first glance. Don't worry if it takes you longer than 32 seconds either, as you'll be honing your observation and perception skills even if it takes you a little longer than average to get the answer.
