Is there anything quite as delightful as a good riddle? These puzzles provide a fun and unique way to exercise our brains, allowing us to measure our cleverness against friends and family. There's a certain joy in cracking a tough riddle, making us feel like a genius, and it's a bit of a fun way to show off our smarts.
My love for riddles and puzzles started back in elementary school. It wasn't the typical math problems that intrigued me, but rather the special challenges my math teacher would set for us. These puzzles were not the usual fraction problems but something that required a different way of thinking, offering a welcome break from the norm.
This early introduction to solving puzzles has remained with me over the years. Whether it's enjoying a crossword puzzle during a break or delving into more intricate puzzles, I see it as a beneficial mental workout. In a world increasingly dominated by technology, actively engaging our minds has become more important than ever.
Recently, I encountered a brain teaser that had me puzzled for quite some time. It was a simple picture, but the solution was not immediately apparent. It was a great reminder of why I find these challenges so rewarding: they encourage us to use our mental faculties to their fullest extent.
Find the mango among the birds
In the picture below, you can see a whole lot of birds. However, if you look closely, you'll notice there's more than just birds in the picture.
Among all the red-green birds, a little exotic fruit is hiding. A mango.
Can you find it?
If you can spot it, you have exceptionally good eyes, especially if you can do it within 15 seconds. Are you ready to give it a try? Let's go!
