Brainteaser tasks users with 'high IQ' to spot living room error in five seconds

Brainteaser fans may finally meet their match with the latest puzzle that depicts a typical every day scene.

The tricky image depicts a man relaxing in his living room with his two cats, who are pottering around while he watches TV.

To the naked eye, nothing seems amiss, but there is something missing that sharp viewers need to spot.

The animation, shared by study site Jagran Josh is challenging on its own, but those looking for a further an extra test need to solve it in five seconds or less.

According to the online resource, anyone who can complete it in this time is said to be of high intelligence, reports the Mirror.

Here's your answer (Bright Side)

As you can see, the error here was the coffee table only having three legs, and once you spot it, it really does seem very obvious. If this was a real-life scene, then the table would no doubt be toppling all over the place, spilling tea this way and that.

Of course, as is often the way with puzzles, our eyes play tricks on us in such a way that we end up filling in gaps to make sense of what we're seeing, even if there is a very clear error.
