You have eyes like a hawk if you can spot the ice skater's mistake in 5 seconds – The Mirror
You might be able to consider yourself a genius if you can work out what’s not quite right with this picture of a woman ice skating – but you’ll have to solve it in 5 seconds
If you want to give your brain a little workout, there's no better way than trying your hand at a brain teaser or challenging puzzle that makes you look at things differently and use your critical thinking skills. In fact, solving a few puzzles a day can go a long way toward boosting your cognitive function – which is just as important for keeping your mind healthy as hitting the gym is for your muscles.
And if you haven't hit the brain gym just yet today, why not give this puzzle a go? All you have to do is study the image below and find the one detail that seems wrong. Oh, and you only have five seconds to do it.
The picture seems to show a woman ice skating in an ice rink that is empty except for her. There are chairs behind her for spectators to watch the action, and she's dressed in the sort of winter gear you'd expect to wear when visiting a venue made completely of ice. At first glance, nothing seems wrong with the picture at all, does it? The woman is showing off her moves by skating on one leg, and she has a smile on her face indicating everything is going well. But there's one huge flaw with the picture, and your job is to find out what it is as quickly as you can.
According to Jagran Josh, you'll need to find the mistake within five seconds if you want to consider yourself the best of the best, but there's no hard time limit if it takes you a bit longer. Got it yet? We're going to give you the answer very soon so don't read any further if you're still studying the picture.
If you take a close look at the picture above, the woman is actually wearing roller skates on her feet instead of ice skates! You can tell they have wheels instead of blades on the very bottom, which would make them dangerous to use on an ice rink and are definitely not the appropriate footwear for the job.
