The image above depicts a sea of OOOs amongst an ombre background of orange and yellow. But, hiding in plain sight is actually a rogue number - and you need to find it in just 12 seconds to prove you have laser-sharp vision. So, set your timer and get searching!
As previously reported, your eyes will naturally gravitate towards all the OOOs rather than immediately identifying the numbers - but stay focused, as time is of the essence. Remember, you've only got 12 seconds, so use all of the attention to detail and pattern recognition you can muster.
If you're staring at the image and don't know where to begin, perhaps a hint might help. Instead of squandering time scanning the top of the picture, let your gaze drift towards the bottom of the image.
Still feeling stumped, or think you've finally cracked it? Scroll down to the bottom of the article to find the answer.
If you solved that brainteaser without even breaking a sweat, it's time to take things up a notch. Below is a mind-boggling riddle that's making fully-grown adults want to pull out their hair - and you've only got 15 seconds to solve it. Once the timer is up, you can check your answer here.
"Mrs. Watt has 5 children. The oldest four children's names are Lala, Lele, Lili, and Lolo," the riddle reads. "What is the name of the youngest child - why do people laugh at her name?"
Many people guessed the child's name is Lulu, because the first four children have the same name with different vowels - and 'U' is the last one available. However, this is not the right answer. Feeling stuck? Thought so!

Foodie reveals the easy way you can get free Wagamama sides – and why you should never throw away their takeaway boxes
Plus, all the places where your kid can eat for free this summer FOOD FOR THOUGHT Foodie reveals the easy way you can get free Wagamama sides – and why you should never throw away their takeaway boxes Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH the costs skyrocketing, going out for dinner has become more expensive than ever, especially if you have a family. But as cash-strapped Brits are struggling to make ends meet, one savvy foodie has revealed how you can enjoy two sides at Wagamama for free. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 One savvy foodie revealed how you can score two free sides at Wagamama Credit: tiktok/@catchagemm 2 There's a reason you shouldn't throw out your takeaway boxes, he revealed Credit: tiktok/@catchagemm The beloved restaurant chain has become a firm favourite for many looking for delicious meals that are also hearty - and turns out, you can now upgrade your dishes with extra free sides. The Japanese-inspired chain, known for its legendary Chicken Katsu curry and ramen dishes, offers a huge variety of sides customers can choose from, such as edamame beans for that protein kick and prawn crackers. According to one money-smart foodie, only known as @catchagemm on TikTok, there's a simple way to save almost £5 for the edamame beans alone during your next visit. And if you love ordering a cheeky takeaway from the popular chain, you might not want to chuck those boxes away. Spilling the beans on the platform, the TikToker first urged foodies to download the Wagamama app on their mobile devices. ''Once you download the app and sign up a new account, you'll get a free voucher for either edamame or prawn crackers,'' he said in the video. ''You can redeem these with your main.'' The cheapest mains, according to their new menu, start from just £10 - and by adding the free side, you'll make them more filling. The savvy foodie went on to reveal another easy hack to bag a free side. ''If you have one of these Wagamama takeaway boxes, all you need to do is just bring it in. I'd heard brilliant things about Too Good to Go so spent £4.40 on an Asda bag - it was an epic fail, I can't eat it all ''The staff will let you know that you can actually trade this for a side. ''Then they will give you one of these vouchers.'' With this voucher, he said, bargain-hunting foodies can claim the free side on the same day or during their next visit to the beloved chain. ''You can trade it in for a free side as long as you buy a main. ''Combine both offers - the one on the app and the one for the free side - and then all you need to do is just buy the main and then you'll get two free sides.'' Where can kids eat for free this summer? THE summer holidays are here, but entertaining the kids need not cost a fortune. Here, we reveal where you can get free and cheap meals for your little ones during the 'endless' summer holidays. ASDA CAFE: Nip into an Asda cafe to feed the kids after the weekly shop.

Site closure However, if you live in Manchester, you won't be able to enjoy this epic offer - as its Spinningfields location has shut its doors after two decades of serving up fan-favourite dishes, we reported in February. The chain first opened the Spinningfields site in August 2005, making it the second Wagamama restaurant in the city. The venue, located in Spinningfields Square opposite Rosa's Thai, is now listed as permanently closed on the chain's website. A message told customers: 'We're now closed at this location. but don't worry, you can still get your favourites at the nearby St Peter's Square or Printworks restaurants.' A spokesperson for Wagamama confirmed the decision, stating: 'Given there are already two other wagamama restaurants in Manchester, guests are being directed to the two other sites to either wagamama Printworks or wagamama St Peters Square.' The spokesperson also hinted at potential future expansions, adding: 'We are always looking for suitable sites in and around the area.' Despite the closure, Wagamama continues to operate across more than 170 locations across the country, including Greater Manchester locations in the Trafford Centre, Didsbury, and Salford's MediaCity.

Carlos Alcaraz claims he 'will do whatever she wants me to do' in revealing Emma Raducanu interview after Wimbledon win The British No1 said: "It does give me confidence because I think the problem before was that I felt like I was gulfs away from the very top. "Having a match like that where I had chances in both sets, it does give me confidence. "At the same time, it's very difficult to take right now." After the match, Sabalenka tipped Raducanu to return to the top 10. 5 Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - follow all the latest scores and updates from a thrilling fortnight at SW19 Expanding on that assessment during her press conference, the Belarusian added: "I cannot predict anything, but I'm definitely sure that, maybe not in a month, but maybe a bit longer period, she's definitely going to get back to the top.

"About the atmosphere… sometimes my ears were really blocked from how loud it was, but I really enjoyed it. "I was trying to trick my brain, and I was pretending that people were cheering for me. Sometimes when they were screaming 'Emma', it sounded like Aryna."
