One is sure to but can you join the that can solve it?
Just 23 percent of people can solve this which to get their heads around a series of optical illusions. Optical illusions challenge our brain to look past what it has seen and tried to make sense of what is in front of us.
The Dean McGee Eye Institute said: “There are occasions when the brain is unsure of what it sees. Optical illusions occur when your eyes are presented with colours, lights, patterns, borders or areas of contrast that mislead the brain.

"It tries to piece together images using optical clues, learned assumptions and past visual experiences. In these cases, there is a difference between the reality of what you see and what your brain thinks you see.
"As a result, your brain makes a guess and is tricked into seeing something that does not exist, or it struggles to decide between alternating versions of an image.”
For this optical illusion, you need to set a time limit of 11 seconds. You should then scan the image and find all of the mistakes on the running track. There are five major mistakes in the image you should be able to find.
Brainteasers aren't just a good way to pass the time as the days become darker and colder, they are also good for your cognitive health. Completing challenging puzzles, brainteasers and optical illusions may help improve your cognitive function, boost productiveness and memory. Aaron Seitz, PhD., professor of psychology and director of the Brain Game Centre at the University of California in Riverside told Real Simple: "Studies show that staying mentally fit is important for long-term cognitive health, but the difficulty is figuring out exactly how to do it.” If you aren’t sure where some of the clues are, then don’t worry. We have the answers for you to view below.
He added that some games work differently for people and finding your own challenge might be the best thing to do. "If you think about diet and exercise routines, some things work better for some people than others, and the same is true with brain games,” he said. It is not clear if brain games and teasers really improve your cognitive abilities, but they can help to keep you relaxed and fresh, leading to indirect benefits.
Nicole M. Avena, PhD, assistant professor of neuroscience at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and visiting professor of health psychology at Princeton University said: “While some studies show that brain training games are not effective, the recollection and work that the brain does during these games keeps your mind fresh and alert… Brain functions that you practise during these games—and the repetition of them—can help improve response time and sharpness.”
If you're ready for your next quest, there are plenty more brainteasers you can complete. Whether they test your memory skills, quick-thinking or powers of observation, there's no greater thrill than beating the clock. Why not attempt to spot the strawberry among the watermelons? Or, if you're up for something a little more tricky, you can try to spot the animal within the zig-zag image. Or, see whether you have a 'highly intelligent mind' by working out the next number in the baffling maths sequence.
