    As we move into the summer months, more people will be spending time outdoors to soak up the sunshine. With this, some will be turning their attention to the football that's been rolling its way around their yard since last year.

    So to not only encourage people outside this summer but to get them up and moving too, Ticket-Compare has created a brainteaser to get you in the football spirit. They say two in every 10 people admitted defeat and surrendered saying they couldn't solve it.

    You have been tasked with finding three rogue kits out of all 40 kits in total which look identical at first glance. According to Ticket-Compare, cracking this tricky puzzle typically takes about 75 seconds but you'll need to crack it in just 40 seconds or less to prove you have the highest IQ.

    A statement by Mindvalley reads: "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.

    The Mindwalley statement reads: "Ever heard of the phrase 'use it or lose it?' That’s quite literally true when it comes to the way our brains age. When we don’t actively seek novel experiences that expose our minds to all sorts of new and challenging stimuli, our neuroreceptors die off from disuse.

    "Brain teasers can help keep the mind stimulated by encouraging it to think and act in new and novel ways. Lateral thinking keeps us feeling fresh, creative, and on our toes, so to speak, when tackling new problems. And we aren’t often given the opportunity to exercise lateral thinking in our day-to-day lives." If you're wondering how you didn't spot the rouge kits sooner, now might be a good time to try out a few more brainteasers . How did you get on? Let us know in the comments below.
