Everyone can see the imposing penguin against a blue background.

It’s unclear what the penguin is doing, but it has a black dot in the center of its belly.

But what is also depicted in this complex illusion is a man – what do you see first?

It may seem a little scary at first, but the secret is to carefully examine the water bird and you will soon see the head of a man.

In the meantime, why not try other optical illusions while you scroll?

Test your brain power and solve the questions in this test to reveal if you have a high IQ.

Or see if you have predator eyes and spot the sneaky animal hiding in the carefully sketched image.

The arctic bird is certainly easier to spot, but if you tilt your head slightly to the right, you’ll see a man with a strong resemblance to Elvis Presley.

The depression on the penguin’s belly serves as a ridge for a very flat nose.

And the creature’s black head looks like a forelock.

You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the frog hiding among the rocks in plain sight in less than 11 seconds

How can optical illusions and puzzles help me?

ENGAGING in activities such as solving optical illusions and puzzles can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various regions of the brain.

Some benefits include:

  • Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
  • Problem solving skills: Regular practice improves analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Memory Improvement: These challenges often require memory retrieval and can contribute to better memory functioning.
  • Creativity: They encourage innovative thinking, promoting creativity and innovative thought processes.
  • Focus and attention: Working with optical illusions and puzzles requires concentration, helping to improve focus.
  • Stress Relief: The fun nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.

And according to ZenBusiness: “These visual puzzles can give you a good mental workout which, in turn, can help you think more efficiently and solve problems more easily.”

If you spot the penguin for the first time, you will be super perceptive, with keen intuition and high levels of emotional intelligence.

You probably also have a lot of wisdom and are a firm believer in patience.

But if the first thing you saw was a man who looked like the legendary rock and roll singer, you might be less gullible and easier to please.

Although you are less likely to trust your instinct, you are also more innovative and have a talent for solving problems.

Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision, allowing you to see small print.

Escape from London says puzzles can also exercise your mind and “increase brain activity,” which “reduces the risk of dementia.”
