If not, try to aim for 30 seconds or if necessary, a full minute. Don’t worry if it takes you a little longer—this puzzle is all about training your brain’s ability to focus and spot patterns. Why optical illusions are good for your brain Optical illusions are not only fun, but they also offer some great mental benefits.

The broom is hidden in the lower right corner of the pile, partially hidden among the darker clothes. The handle may blend in with other lines and shapes, but if you look closely, the bristles are only visible under light-colored clothing.
