SPOTTING the sailor is easy, but only those with the eyes of a hawk can find his wife in this optical illusion.
Time to put your vision skills and IQ to the test and find out if you’re in the one per cent of people who can solve this tricky brainteaser.
This image is known as an optical illusion, meaning there could be other not-so obvious elements to be found.
The challenge here is to spot the woman’s face perfectly blended into the scene.
Everyone can quickly see the sailor looking out at sea.
But only those with 20/20 vision and a high IQ can solve this mind-bending puzzle.
Are you able to find where the sailor’s wife is or will you be left scratching your head?
It might seem a bit daunting at first, but the key is to carefully examine each section of the image.
You might wish to start from the top left corner of the image and work your way down, or maybe do the complete opposite – whatever gives you more confidence!
Another useful tactic is picking an element of the picture and analyse what’s around it.
Did you manage to spot the sailor’s wife? If so, congratulations!
OPTICAL illusions work by tricking the brain into seeing something that doesn’t match physical reality.
They exploit the way our brain processes visual information to create images that are interpreted in a way that differs from the actual object or scene.
Our eyes capture light and send signals to the brain, which then processes these signals to form an image.
But the brain doesn’t just passively receive this information; it actively interprets it based on past experiences, expectations, and assumptions.
The brain often simplifies complex scenes to make sense of them quickly.
This simplification can lead to misinterpretation of what is actually there, resulting in an illusion.
