THIS is the optical illusion that asks you to stare at a gang of strikingly dashing snowmen to spot a hidden animal.
Everyone can see the snowmen, some with nicer hats than others, but only those with 20/20 vision can spot the hidden panda in seven seconds.
The puzzle will remind you of the last time you saw a snowman who didn’t get the dress code memo and stuck out at the function with their top hat.
It is unknown why only one snowman decided to dress so smartly, even though the invitation specifically said fun casual.
Others got the right idea, dressing in modest hats and scarves, which adequately reflect the relaxed occasion for which this group is gathered.
The top hat snowman could just take it off, but The Sun has been told that he has decided to commit to the look.
This optical illusion is tricky because of how the white-faced panda blends in with the snowmen around it.
There are also very few colours to pick out, making finding this hidden bear that much harder.
The key to this one is to focus on the black of the bear’s face and not the white because it is a less common colour in the image.
Are you ready, because the clock is ticking!
If you’re still struggling, a hint would be to look for the face without a carrot sticking out of it.
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.
