Whether in the professional, social or even personal sphere, the ability to examine accurately makes the difference between geniuses and normal people.
The sense of observation is a precious quality that enables us to perceive, analyze and understand our environment. It plays an essential role in many areas of life, whether in the sciences, the arts, the security professions or simply in everyday life.
Yet cultivating the ability to detect details takes practice and perseverance. Here then a challenge for the most daring! Are you ready to see the world in a different way?
How does the challenge work?
During this visual test, your speed and perceptiveness will be put to the test.
Indeed, you can see a seemingly simple image. It shows people in the street. In all, you’ll see 6 people.
However, the question arises: is this really the right number? Your mission is to determine the exact number of people in the image in less than ten seconds.

You need to scrutinize every nook and cranny of the picture, taking into account shadows, contours, angles and any other clues. Don’t stare at a specific point in the picture, but scan it quickly to get the whole picture.
This test of attention trains your mind to be sharp and responsive as soon as possible. It will highlight your ability to observe and interpret visual information in a limited time.
Although the test is timed, stay calm and focused. Stress can impair your ability to analyze. Take a deep breath and keep your cool. So, are you ready for the challenge? We’re off!
The answer
In reality, there are seven people in the picture. At first glance, it may appear that there are only six, but there’s a detail that shouldn’t be overlooked. A child has cleverly hidden himself to blend into the background.

Congratulations to those who managed to detect this clever deception! You have the eyes of an eagle.
For those who were unable to discover the correct answer, don’t be discouraged. This challenge was designed to test your skills.
Practice regularly. The more you practice this type of exercise, the more you’ll develop your ability to observe quickly and accurately.
