The PUZZZERS who manage to locate the snake hidden in this forest wonderland may be much smarter than the rest.
The artist claims that only one percent of people can spot the snake in less than ten seconds.
A YouTube account called Bright Side shared the puzzle online to nearly 45 million viewers.
The illusion shows a bright green forest landscape with a single tree rooted in the center of the image.
Somewhere in the photo is a slithery snake that few can identify.
Bright Side claims that this puzzle is one of the “difficult” eye tests for those addicted to solving illusions.
“Only 1% of the most attentive will be approved”, they said.
It may take more than ten seconds, but keep looking…

Dudolf shared the puzzle on Facebook, inviting his thousands of followers to “have another ice cream while it’s still hot outside!”
The response was overwhelming, with hundreds of people attempting the challenge.
