Brain teasers are a great way to challenge yourself and your observational skills - but they aren't always as easy as they seem. Over the past few weeks, the Daily Record has tested out your problem-solving capabilities with some baffling brain teasers.
One challenged you to find the hidden ballerina and another tricked your brain into thinking these petrol pumps are changing colours. Now we've got a brand new one that judges how quickly you can suss out an image and spot something hidden in the background - and if you find it quickly, you've got high levels of intelligence.
The Mirror reports that a recent illusion released by the website JagranJosh shows a crowded party scene where people are sat around a table about to tuck into some dinner. The illusion challenges you to find a pair of white gloves which are hiding somewhere in the scene, but they are not easy to spot.
If you can hunt them out in 11 seconds or less, then you could be in the top two per cent for IQ, according to the site. This is because brain teaser and optical illusions can be a handy way to find out how your brain works to solve problems.
If you're struggling to find the gloves within the image, try casting a glance to the right hand side and really look closely at the table. The answer is circled in the image below, so don't scroll down if you haven't solved it yet and want to avoid spoilers.
In the image you can see that the gloves are circled right by the big water jug on the table near the person on the far right-hand side. So if you have a go make sure to time yourself and see how quickly you were able to track them down.

Actor Brian Cox said he thinks Meghan Markle "knew what she was getting into" with the royal family and that her "ambition" of marrying "Prince Charming" factored into her choices. "When you look at what’s happening with Meghan and Harry, you go, ‘Well, Harry, there’s an innocence about.’ And with her, too. But you can’t go into a system where somebody’s already been trained to behave in a certain kind of way and then just expect them to cut themselves off," the "Succession" star, who plays the patriarch of a billionaire family, told Haute Living in an interview published Thursday. Cox argued Meghan "knew what she was getting into, and there’s an ambition there clearly as well — the childhood dreams of marrying Prince Charming and all that s--- we see as fantasy that could be our lives in our dreams.
Kate Aurthur editor Last month, when “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong announced that the fourth season of the Emmy-winning HBO drama would be its last, the internet howled in despair. But Brian Cox — who’s played the ferocious mogul Logan Roy since the show’s 2018 premiere — applauds Armstrong’s decision. “He’s very disciplined in that way, and also he’s very British in that way,” says Cox, who is Scottish, and in conversation seems to mention birthplace to explain behavior. “The American inclination is to milk it for all it’s worth.” Not that Cox, 76, won’t feel the loss. “I’ll miss the cast, I’ll miss the atmosphere, I’ll miss the bonhomie,” he says, ticking off reasons during a recent Zoom interview from London. And Logan? “Logan, probably, I’ll miss a bit. But upward and onwards.”
