If you can spot the ring hidden among the seashells on the beach in under 24 seconds, you’re in the top 1% of people
I SPY, with my little eye, something silver and shiny.
Or will you? Only the top 1% of people have vision good enough to find a ring among the shells.
Redditor Deerose shared the mind-boggling brainteaser in a post, challenging other users to spot the missing band.
She dropped the precious jewelry during an outing at the beach, but her temporary loss is your brain gain.
See if you can best the optical illusion and win… some bragging rights.
Finding the ring will be difficult, as the sand is filled with colorful shells.
That’s why we’ve given challengers 24 seconds to attempt the puzzle.
Set your timer, take a sip of water, and get searching.
Having trouble already? Here’s a hint: Look for a gleam of silver — the ring only has the band showing, with no gems or stones.
Here’s another hint because we’re feeling generous: The ring has a patterned band.
Many have admitted to finding the ring but mistaking it for something else.
“I found it like two minutes in but assumed it must’ve just been a weird piece of shell!” said one commenter.
“Oh dang, ok. So I found it quick, I just thought it might be a shell or something,” said another.
“Almost looked like a striped worm or something.”
“I found it earlier on and dismissed it as a black and white cross pattern hairband,” said a third.
Congratulations if you’ve managed to find it. Truly, very few people have been able to complete the challenge.

Did you manage to find it? Shell yeah!
