ARE you part of the 1% that can find the one-of-a-kind pattern in this pile of socks?

Everyone can find the rainbow socks, but it’s merely a distraction from the actual mystery.

Nearly every sock in this grouping has a pair, except for one, but you’ll have to have a keen eye to find it.

Your eyes may initially be drawn to the white sock with red and blue stripes in the top left corner, but don’t be deceived; its match resides in the bottom right corner.

Perhaps it’s the blue sock with pink strips near the bottom left corner, but its matching pair is in the top right.

If you’ve spotted the stinky green sock, you’ll be disappointed to know that it also has a pair.

So does the orange and yellow striped sock and the pink sock with blue stripes.

You might believe the yellow sock with red hearts and the one with red polka dots are mismatched, yet surprisingly, each has its own partner!

Carefully, take in every sock’s design — some of them look very similar, so make sure you’re actually looking!

You might have noticed an orange sock with an argyle pattern that has a stitch, but that sock has a pair, too.

But you’re close — try looking at the design again.

Did you find it? If not, we’ve added the answer below.

Only 15% can spot the correct hidden image in this blurred optical illusion – but can you do it in less than 30 seconds?

Remember when we said to keep an eye on the argyle socks?

If you did, you might have noticed that there’s an extra argyle sock that doesn’t have a matching pair!

On the upper left of the picture, next to one of the stinky socks and a glittery blue sock, you’ll find an argyle sock.

Unlike the other argyle socks with four patterns, this one only has two.

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.
  • Optical illusions can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.

Did you get stumped? No worries, you can try one of our other illusions.

However, if you solved the puzzle, congrats! You’ve got the eyes of a hawk.

BRAINTEASER BUZZ

Try this other illusion instead!

If you are able to spot the number 8 quickly in the image below, you might have a high IQ – or you could be well on your way to boosting it.

This brainteaser, featured by The Times of India, presents a grid of blue diamonds, each containing a white capital letter ‘B’.

But hidden among them is a sneaky number 8, cleverly camouflaged within the pattern.

This puzzle’s repetitive pattern can trick your mind into overlooking details, making the number 8 easy to miss due to a phenomenon called pattern fatigue.

It doesn’t help that the letter ‘B’ and the number 8 already look strikingly similar.

To improve your chances, try not to stare at the whole grid hoping the number will pop out.

Instead, scan the image row by row, moving slowly across each line.

You can also try zooming out, squinting, or even flipping the image – all ways to help your brain see the grid from a new perspective.

If you’re struggling to spot it, here’s a hint: it’s hidden in the last row.
