Everyone can see the sailors - but you have a high IQ if you can spot the sword

Everyone can see the sailors - but you have a high IQ if you can spot the sword

PUT your vision to the test with this sea-themed brainteaser that will reveal if you have an eye for detail.

Only those with the best eyesight and attention to detail will be able to find the sword in 10 seconds.

The two sailors are obvious in this image, but the sword is less obvious.

Those who created the puzzle have made it tricky by using bright colours like orange to catch attention and by including extreme detail in the drawing.

These various elements of the image are all working to keep you from your goal.

So, if you want to solve it in just a few seconds, get rid of any distractions.

While one sailor seems busy and faces away, and the other looks out to sea.

The hand on his hip makes you think that the sword would clearly be there, but it is not.

An object coming from the second sailor seems like it could be a sword, but it is not quite right.

So, all that is left is for you to scour the image carefully, making sure you don't miss any element.

To do this, you may find it helps to minimise the search area.

For example, divide it into more manageable chunks like quarters and search each section carefully before moving on to the next.

Make sure you look at the textures of the materials.

Are there any that seem strange to you?

Don't forget that the sword may not be as obvious as you may have initially thought.

Perhaps it helps to think of this as more of an optical illusion.

When you think you've found it, or if you've thrown in the towel, scroll down to reveal where the sword is.

Now that your brain is fired up, why not have a go at some more mind-boggling challenges?

Don't forget the tips you learned earlier if needed.

As always, the answers will be shared below.

Once you give those a go, you can find some more on our puzzles page.
