The creators at Jagran Josh have challenged you to find the hidden boomerang among the bugs in seven seconds to prove you have a high IQ.
A boomerang is a V-shaped object, traditionally made of wood, that can be thrown and will return to its point of origin if launched correctly.
Now you know what you are looking for, scour every part of the image for it.
To make this puzzle even more tricky, it is only in black and white, meaning your eyes are not drawn to any particular area.
The image features 13 bugs which are all taking part in arts and crafts.
Some are sending homemade cards, others are painting pictures and making paper chains.
The carnage and chaos of the scene means that there are lots of tiny elements to the image which makes it harder to find the boomerang.
It is important to ensure that while doing this challenge you are not distracted as this is what seek and find puzzles rely on.
If you want to solve it in seven seconds or less, you need to focus entirely on the puzzle and on the task at hand.
Do not get distracted by what the bugs are doing or how they differ from each other – your goal is only to find the wooden toy.
If you are struggling, here is a tip that will help.
It is often useful to make your search area smaller as this minimizes distractions and means you will spot the smaller details.
So, divide the puzzle into smaller pieces such as quarters, you can then carefully examine each section before moving on to the next.
If you are still struggling, here is also a clue that might help you.
