Only those with eagle eyes can crack 'mind bending' brainteaser in under 40 seconds

No one appreciates being second-guessed or receiving jitters whenever someone strolls along the path while driving. Nonetheless, a cleverly designed brain teaser , courtesy of Dayinsure, sets a challenge to spot concealed car keys and a deflated tire amidst a bustling festival panorama, where keen-eyed critics could actually prove useful.

Flexing your mental muscles via such teasers is reputed to sharpen cognitive function, boost memory, and enhance concentration.

Participating in these activities regularly, research suggests, could even postpone dementia symptoms.

Mindvalley said it best: "Lateral thinking is a form of problem-solving that utilizes a more creative, less direct approach to the problem. Analytical, logical problem-solving encourages vertical thinking, which is an approach we're often taught when dealing with math equations. Lateral thinking is the indirect approach. It helps us view problems in an entirely new light. It helps us find unique, creative solutions we might never have before imagined."

A Mindvalley representative said: "The brain is neuroplastic, meaning it has the ability to shift and change over time. Many people believe our brains age as we do, growing less powerful, less capable, and less competent over time. What most don't realize, however, is that you have the ability to manipulate your brain the way a sculptor molds clay. The brain is susceptible to all we expose it to - people, music, work - even the physical environments we traverse on a day-to-day basis. Everything we partake in has the potential to subtly shift the wiring of our brain."
