If you're looking for a way to keep your brain sharp this weekend, why not turn off Netflix test yourself with some optical illusions.

Optical illusions are pictures or images that we perceive differently to the way they are. This is usually caused by colours, light or patterns that can be deceptive or misleading to our brains.

It can require a lot of concentration for our brains to see what's actually there – but it's a good way to test your observational skills.

Our brains have a tendency to play tricks on us when we see optical illusions, and this ice cream scoop puzzle is no different.
