Have you ever wondered how your problem-solving skills compare to the one and only Sherlock Holmes?
Well, it's been said that if you can spot the lumberjack in the gloomy forest in this creepy optical illusion, you've apparently got the IQ of the world-famous detective. So, why don't you give it a go and see whether you can spot him?
There is a twist, however, and that's that you have to spot him within six seconds. According to research, optical illusions can help improve concentration and attention span, and can also help contribute to preventing cognitive decline. Much like going to the gym to build muscle, the more puzzles you complete, the better you get at them.
Can you spot the lumberjack?The black-and-white forest scene, which was shared by Jagran Josh, is somewhat eerie, but don't let that distract you from the task at hand. There are logs in the image and an axe can be seen - but where's the lumberjack? He's the person we're trying to find here.
He's hiding, but where? You likely don't have much of the time limit left now, so have you managed to spot him? He's right in front of your eyes, but he is very well hidden. If you need a handy hint, perhaps focus your efforts around the left-hand side of the image, because if you're looking around the right, your search may be fruitless.
