THIS is the brainteaser that asks why someone would go out into the woods whilst it’s raining without a brolly.

Everyone can see the birds and the explorers who didn’t check the weather app before they left, but only those with 20/20 vision and a high IQ can spot the hidden umbrella in seven seconds.

The puzzle will remind you of the last time you thought an unplanned hike was a good idea, when it never is.

You were suckered into the ‘new year, new me’ nonsense and now you’re paying the price.

Worse yet, you went to the only forest where the animals are cartoons, which is thought to make your adventure much scarier.

It is not known why the umbrella is missing and not with the people who need it.

Then again, if these are the same people who don’t check to see if it’s raining, then who knows what foolishness they are capable of.

Readers are reminded to always check the weather before going outside.

This teaser is tricky because there are so many things to distract you, from the unprepared hikers, to the nosy animals enjoying watching the carnage unfold.

The people also take up a large chunk of the picture, leaving little space for the brolly to hide behind.

The key to this teaser is to stay close to the ground, because the umbrella wouldn’t be stuck in a tree. Use your head here.

Are you ready, because the clock is ticking!

If you’re still struggling, a hint would be to check behind the trees.

People who are able to solve the puzzle quickly possess good observational skills and high cognitive speed.

It tests your ability to process a high volume of visual information and the ability to concentrate under high amounts of pressure.

How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?

Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Some benefits include:

  • Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
  • Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
  • Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
  • Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
  • Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.

Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.

Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a great workout and may “boost your brain’s activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia.”

These can help to stimulate several parts of the brain at the same time.

Tasks like this can also provide people with a productive way to have fun and relax.
