Whether your goal is to enhance your vision or evaluate your IQ, this puzzle will pose a challenge for many readers.

Put your observation skills to the test and figure out whether you have what it takes to spot the four differences in just a few seconds.

Make sure to set your stopwatch before undertaking this challenge, to make it extra hard for yourself.

If you can do it in under 11 seconds, you are said to have 20/20 vision.

At first glance, it looks like these two images, provided by RiversWallArt.com are identical.

However, hawk-eyed readers will immediately be able to spot that this is not the case.

There are actually four subtle differences between the two images.

Unless you’re lucky enough to find the four differences immediately, we recommend analysing the image very closely to spot the answers.

The visual deception of this image will have you peeling your eyes, but the payoff is worth it.

If you need a hint, we recommend first focusing on the top half of the image.

Two differences can be found between the walls of the two images.
