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

The challenge, should you accept it, is to find the odd one out within just 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.
