Put your sharp eyes to the ultimate test with this baffling brainteaser that's bound to leave you puzzled. While such challenges might seem like a mere diversion during a tedious commute or a quick way to keep the children entertained, they're actually a brilliant form of mental workout.
Research indicates that regularly tackling puzzles can improve your attention span and enhance your focus. So, if you're game for giving your grey matter a bit of a workout, have a go at this seemingly straightforward yet surprisingly difficult puzzle that only one percent of people can solve within the strict time limit.
‌
Believe us, you'll need keen eyesight and a quick mind to crack this one. Take a careful look at the image below.
‌
You'll see endless rows of the same letter in a sea of green, and if you gaze too long, your sight might start to blur as all the letters merge into one.
But it's precisely this ocean of Ms that you need to scrutinise closely to triumph in this challenge – hidden among them is an anomaly. Just one letter that stands out from the rest, reports the Mirror US.
You have a scant 11 seconds to spot the rogue letter that doesn't match the Ms. If you manage to do so within the time frame, you clearly boast incredibly sharp vision, and can count yourself among the top one percent. So, set a timer on your phone and start hunting!
We're offering a single clue to aid your search, and it involves the letter N. It's deceptively similar to the Ms scattered throughout the image, making it quite the challenge to discern, but with sharp eyes, you might just spot it before time runs out.
