You’re in the top 10% if you can spot the missing screwdriver in the workshop in under 15 seconds
THE arrival of spring is the perfect time to do some bicycle maintenance.
But it’s frustrating when you can’t find the right tools for the job.
In this brainteaser, you must spot the missing screwdriver in under 15 seconds.
If you accomplish this in the allotted time, you are in the top 10%.
So, take a deep breath, set the timer, and get searching.
The cycle experts at Evolve E-bikes have produced this puzzle.
The scene shows a chaotic workshop, strewn with tools, helmets, oil, gloves, and a bike.
No wonder the red screwdriver is hard to find amongst the mess.
Springtime is here and it’s time to swap the sofa for the saddle.
Unless you are a weather-hardened, all-year-round cyclist, many of us store our two-wheelers away over the winter months.
Come spring time it’s time to dust off the cobwebs and prepare your bike for the summer.
This means some maintenance, a screw tightened here, or a drop of oil there.
This challenge will put you through your paces and the average person takes 30 seconds to find it.
But the top 10% of puzzlers find it in less than 15 seconds. Can you join them?
As usual with tasks like these, it helps to divide the picture into smaller sections.
Then quickly scan the area for the missing screwdriver.
Benefits of brainteasers and optical illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to brainteasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.
- They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
- By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
- Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention.
- Improved concentration and attention span can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
