Everyone can see the angry referee – but you need 20/20 vision to spot the three differences in just 12 seconds

This is a challenging puzzle that asks you to identify the dissimilarity between two angry referees.

They are both upset about a situation on the field, but there are slight discrepancies between the two images.

For those who enjoyed stirring up trouble on the field, this brainteaser may evoke some nostalgia.

It’s unclear what foul has been committed, but this ref is having none of it.

Perhaps a player was chatting back or landed a crunching tackle.

Whatever the crime, our official is clearly unimpressed.

His big bushy brows are knotted together and his hand buried in his pocket.

He’s decided the misdemeanour was severe enough to warrant a yellow card.

One more of them for the punished player – and he’s off!

Number 9 is having none of it either.

This spot-the-difference is tricky because the variations are subtle.

At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be anything different at all.

Only the top 1% of geniuses can find the hidden dog in this rocky optical illusion in just five seconds – can you

The key is to study certain details and compare with the other picture.

But you’ll have to scan quickly, because the clock is ticking.

Have you spotted the differences?

Here’s a clue if the penny isn’t dropping.

There’s at least one difference on each of the men – don’t focus all your attention on the referee.

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.

Don’t worry if you haven’t solved it yet – we’ve included the solutions.
