You have a keen eyesight if you can identify the hidden number in this baffling optical illusion.

We all know how important it is to do physical exercise, but it is just as important to work out our brains too. Studies have revealed that the more you try to solve hard quizzes and games, the smarter you tend to be.

Brainteasers try to provide some fascinating insights related to how our brains work. It will truly gauge how good your observation skills and attention to detail are.

In our puzzle of the day, your brain may be playing tricks on you and you might need an eye test after attempting to figure it out. The seemingly simple image has a hidden number which is not immediately obvious to the naked eye. Can you find it?

We tend to percieve images differently, forming a different perception from each angle. Often, combinations of colour, light, and patterns can trick our minds into visually perceiving something that isn't there.
