Only people with eyes like a hawk can spot the number 725 among the 775s in seven seconds

Anyone who wants to put their mind to the ultimate test through a difficult task should have a dabble at brain teasers.

From testing a person’s personality traits to the level of their IQ and their creative thinking, these tricky brain tests are a clever way to stretch someone’s brain to think outside of the box.
