THIS is the brain-teaser that challenges you to spot the difference between two raging referees.
Both of them are in a huff about an on-field incident, but the two pictures are not completely identical.
This puzzle might bring back memories for those who liked to cause mischief on the sports field.
It’s unclear what foul has been committed, but this ref is having none of it.
Perhaps a player was chatting back or landed a crunching tackle.
Whatever the crime, our official is clearly unimpressed.
His big bushy brows are knotted together and his hand buried in his pocket.
He’s decided the misdemeanour was severe enough to warrant a yellow card.
One more of them for the punished player – and he’s off!
Number 9 is having none of it either.
This spot-the-difference is tricky because the variations are subtle.
At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be anything different at all.
The key is to study certain details and compare with the other picture.
But you’ll have to scan quickly, because the clock is ticking.
Have you spotted the differences?
Here’s a clue if the penny isn’t dropping.
There’s at least one difference on each of the men – don’t focus all your attention on the referee.
Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
Some benefits include:
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.
Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a great workout and may “boost your brain’s activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia.”
These can help to stimulate several parts of the brain at the same time.
Tasks like this can also provide people with a productive way to have fun and relax.
