But do you have the skills to spot the two beach essentials hidden within this image in 10 seconds or less?

Whether you’re hoping to improve your problem solving skills or boost your memory, this puzzle is bound to be a challenge for many readers.

Put your observation skills to the test and figure out whether you have what it takes to spot beach essentials in just a few seconds.

Make sure to set your stopwatch before undertaking this challenge, to make it extra hard for yourself.

If you can do it in under 10 seconds, you are said to have the eyes of a hawk.

At first glance, it looks like the image provided by Super Label Store shows multiple of each of the beach essentials.

However, those with the sharpest eyes will immediately be able to tell that this is not the case.

This puzzle tricks your eyes into thinking that all of the beach items are duplicates.

However, there are two essentials that only appear once in the image.

Unless you’re lucky enough to find the odd one out immediately, we recommend analysing the pattern very closely to spot the answer.

The visual deception of this image will have you scratching your head trying to solve it, but the payoff is worth it.

If you need a hint, we recommend focusing on the bottom half of the image.

One of the hidden items can be found in the bottom left hand corner of the image.

Certain brainteasers and optical illusions, particularly those that involve patterns or sequences, can help strengthen both short-term and long-term memory. 

By working through puzzles on a regular basis, you will actively engage the brain’s memory systems and directly improve your future attempts at visual challenges. 

Many brainteasers, like this one, require challengers thinking outside the box.
