Most people love puzzles and the reason for that is that we’re biologically geared towards solving problems. Because our brains want to work, they make tasks like solving puzzles and riddles enjoyable. Publishers have tapped into this and monetized it, which is why we buy crossword puzzle books and other puzzle books. Children naturally love solving problems and puzzles (at least until the education system manages to make it not fun) and some of the puzzles you find in publications like Highlights Magazine make it fun for kids to find hidden objects. Another fun puzzle activity is finding the object that’s different from all of its surrounding objects.
It’s not just our brains that get a much-needed workout when we solve puzzles or find hidden objects. Our eyes are also getting a workout, as are the connectors between the eyes and the brain. Everything we see with our eyes gets sent to our brains, and when you reinforce those connections, it’s healthy for both the eyes and the brain. Let’s do some brain teasers that involve finding the one object in a group of objects that’s different. Below is an image showing a group of speakers. One of them is different from the other. Try to find the different speaker within 10 seconds.
Here is the solution, in case you didn’t find it.
In this image of sun emojis, there is one that’s different from the others. Can you find it? This one is a bit harder than the first one. It took me longer than 10 seconds, I confess, but see if you can find it within the allotted time.
And here is the correct answer, in case you didn’t find the different emoji in the image above.
For me, our last puzzle was easier for me than the first two, but some folks had trouble with it. Can you find the clock that’s different from all the others? You have 10 seconds. Ready. Set. GO!
Here’s the solution, in case you didn’t find it.
How did you do? If you found all of these without having to scroll down to the solution image, you may actually be a genius!
