If you can do it in under 30 seconds, you are said to have the eyes of an eagle.
The tricky puzzle, provided by Twist Museum depicts a grid of hearts, diamonds and clubs.
At first glance, it looks like there are no spades at all within the mix.
However, those with a high IQ will immediately be able to spot that this is not the case.
Hidden amongst the other suits is one singular spade.
Unless you’re lucky enough to spot the spade immediately, we recommend analysing the image very carefully.
The visual deception of this image will have you peeling your eyes, but the payoff is worth it.
