Brain teasers have a number of functions to help stimulate our minds and improve cognitive function.
One particular facet is how they help to improve memory function, to think outside of the box in order to find a solution, all the while improving your brain health in the long run, The Daily Record reports.
They test your ability to identify hidden objects that are difficult to see at first look, or strange things in busy images, and are fun ways to help you engage with a singular task at one particular moment.
In our latest brain teaser puzzle, people are being tasked with finding three differences between two plates of breakfast items, stuffed high with pancakes, eggs, fruit, and a mug of coffee to wash it all down.
There is a caveat however - you have just 10 seconds to get all three differences if you want to be able to let people know that you have a high IQ, The Mirror reports.
If you want to put your mind to the mettle, here are the two images:
It seems like both are identical at first, right?
There are three differences hidden in the details of the images, and while one or two of them might jump out at you more easily, finding all three in just 10 seconds can be a challenge.
According to Jagran Josh, studies suggest that engaging in such activities "stimulates" the areas of the brain responsible for concentration and memory, and so practising these activities routinely will result in better concentration and memory retention.
Here are the answers to the puzzle:
Those three differences were: the shape of the fried egg was slightly different on the far left-hand side, there was a leaf added to the two berries in the middle of the picture on the right, and at the bottom of the right picture, one of the raspberries had been swapped for a blueberry.
