Whether you’re hoping to improve your problem solving skills or boost your memory, this puzzle is bound to be a challenge for many readers.

Put your observation skills to the test and figure out whether you have what it takes to spot the hidden pearl necklace 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 30 seconds, you are said to have the eyes of a hawk.

At first glance, this image, provided by  F Hinds looks like just a beautiful painting of pink and purple tulips.

However, those with 20/20 vision will be able to immediately see this is not the case.

This puzzle works by tricking your eyes into thinking that there is nothing but tulips in the image.

But rest assured, hidden among the petals and stems is a string of pearls.

Unless you’re lucky enough to find the odd one out immediately, we recommend analysing the pattern very closely to spot the answer.

The visual deception of this image will have you scratching your head trying to solve it, but the payoff is worth it.

What you see first reveals a lot about your personality – are you motivated or socially awkward?

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

The pearl necklace can be found on the left hand side of the painting.

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, this tricky puzzle asks readers to find the odd one out in a sea of TikTok logos.

If you’re looking for a challenging test, only the keenest observers will be able to identify the six items that require tidying up in this spot-the-difference puzzle.
