Can you find the cat in this image?

Somewhere in the sea of human faces is a tiny cat – how long does it take you to find him?

Start the clock and aim to find the feline in 12 seconds.

The creators of this puzzle have done their best to make sure you stay distracted from your goal.

This is a common theme in seek-and-find games such as this one.

Across the sea of people, you are likely to get distracted by their different glasses, hair colours, expressions and clothing.

But by focusing on all of this, you are letting the cat stay hidden.

The use of muted colours is also another trick that is being used against you as it means nothing eye-popping grabs your attention.

If you find that you are struggling, there is a tip that can help.

Rather than tackle the whole puzzle in one go, why not do it in sections?

As they say, slow and steady wins the race.

[bc_video account_id=”5067014667001″ application_id=”” aspect_ratio=”16:9″ autoplay=”” caption=”Everyone can see the bird but you need 20-20 vision to spot the hidden umbrella in 7 seconds” embed=”in-page” experience_id=”” height=”100%” language_detection=”” max_height=”360px” max_width=”640px” min_width=”0px” mute=”” padding_top=”56%” picture_in_picture=”” player_id=”default” playlist_id=”” playsinline=”” sizing=”responsive” video_id=”6366995571112″ video_ids=”” width=”640px”]

So, divide the image into quarters and search each section carefully before moving on to the next.

This helps minimize the search area and means you are more likely to spot something that does not quite fit – like the cat!

When you think you’ve found him, scroll down to reveal where the feline is.

Don’t worry if it took you longer than 12 seconds as the average time to find the cat is 36 seconds.

But, if you want to be number one, you’ll have to beat a staggering time of just four seconds.

Regular practice of puzzles like these helps keep your mind sharp and can even boost your health.

With that in mind and now that your brain is warmed up, have a go at some more puzzles below.

As always, the answers can be found at the bottom of the page but don’t give in until you’ve given it a proper go.

Also, don’t forget to use the handy trick you learned earlier if you get a little stuck.
