Only people with high IQ can find the odd ice cream scoop within nine seconds

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.

Can you spot the odd ice cream scoop? (jagranjosh)

In the image there are 15 scoops of ice cream on a purple background, and 14 of them look identical. However, one of them is an odd one out.

You are being challenged to spot the odd ice cream scoop within nine seconds.

According to JagranJosh, the website that shared the puzzle, only people with high IQs can spot the odd ice cream within the time period.

While it may seem like a simple task, some people might find it hard to concentrate enough to find it so quickly.

If you're not focusing, all the ice cream scoops start to blend into one, and it can be hard to spot the single one that has something different about it. Have you spotted it yet?

If you're still struggling, we'll give you a helping hand. Look in the lower, left-hand side of the picture.
