Are you tech-brained enough to solve this puzzle?
Almost all of us use technology every single day for a variety of tasks. Whether you're reading this on your phone or your computer, chances are you're pretty familiar with the symbols you see on your device all the time - such as the WiFi bars, and the logo on the 'shut down' or 'power off' button. But could you locate these iconic images in mere seconds, as this new brain teaser challenges you to do just that?
Brain teasers are a great way to boost cognitive function, and studies have even shown they can help keep degenerative conditions such as dementia at bay. So take a look at the puzzle below and give it a go to test your skill!
You have 15 seconds to find the hidden symbol (EarthWeb)In the image above, you'll see a jumbled mess of tech-based imagery, which was put together by EarthWeb. Alongside satellites and WiFi signs, you'll also notice robotic hands, gears, and even a computer monitor in the centre of the picture. There are also some space-themed drawings too, including stars and planets.
But somewhere in the image is one specific logo that you have to find - the "shut down" or "power off" button. It's something we all see every day, whether it's on your computer, your phone, or the TV, but can you spot it in this picture?
Staring at this optical illusion for 2 minutes 'makes world look very different'
According to EathWeb, the power off symbol should only take you 15 seconds to find, so set yourself a short timer and scan the picture as quickly as you can to try and find it. The puzzle is designed to "put your vision skills and IQ to the test" so it's definitely not easy, and finding the symbol within the time limit is the ultimate challenge.
Got it now? If you're still looking, don't scroll down any further! We're about to give you the answer.
Did you find it within the time limit? (EarthWeb)The symbol you were looking for was right at the edge of the image - did you find it in time? Let us know in the comments. If you want to try your hand at other brain teasers, why not give some of these a go? This one asks you to find three cats lurking in the family garden scene, while this one claims only 2% of people can find the hidden turtle in the messy bedroom.
There are also different types of puzzles you can try, such as this Only Connect question that left the contestants baffled, and this maths equation that is said to be so tricky that only those with the IQ of Albert Einstein can solve it.
