Optical illusions are an effective way to keep your brain active, as well as test your concentration and eye for detail.
If you've not tried out an optical illusion before, they are what can be described as a mind-bending and shape-shifting image that alters the way you perceive things.
However, according to studies they are actually very healthy for our brains as the more you exercise your mind with challenging riddles and quizzes, the smarter you become.
Optical illusions allow us to gather fascinating insight into the way the brain functions as certain arrangements of colour, light and patterns can trick our minds into seeing something that isn't actually there.
A typical human brain is able to view objects or images from various angles, creating different perceptions, the Mirror reports.
One clever example of this is a vintage picture which holds a hidden sailors wife within it but only 1% of people are able to spot her in just 15 seconds.
The clever illusion portrays a sailor gazing towards the sea in search of his wife yet it seems that his beloved is closer than he imagines.
If you are among the 99% that can't see it, a hint is that its actually just the woman's face you're looking for.
If you still can't find her, you need to flip the image upside down to find the mystery woman with her exact spot being highlighted in the image below.
The hidden women which has left thousands of adults scratching their heads in confusion can be found between the telescope's stand and the sailor's legs.
Don't beat yourself up if you were not able to spot her straight away as it was definitely a tricky puzzle.
