Some people around the world have accomplished amazing feats like solving the Rubik’s cube in less than 6 seconds or conquering the highest mountains to take selfies at the peak. Although these achievements are impressive, improving intelligence for the average person may not be clearly defined. However, psychologists say that practicing optical illusions is a great way to train the brain and improve cognitive abilities. The more you practice optical illusions, the better you solve problems and find solutions. Here’s a quiz for you:
In the picture below, you will see a pile of cherries. Your mission is to find the sweet red tomato hidden among these cherries within 10 seconds. Ready? Your time starts now! Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two and one.

Did you find this puzzle challenging? Do not worry; With a few more challenges, you can become a pro! Keep practicing and have fun brainstorming! Optical illusions are divided into three categories: physical, physiological, and cognitive puzzles. Each genre consists of four types – Ambiguity, distortion, paradox and fiction. Detecting prominent patterns and objects in these illusions can be challenging, making visual perception key.
