Only those with 'high IQs' can find hidden face within 9 seconds in optical illusion

Whether you're experiencing a mid-week slump or still feel on top of your game, brainteasers are a brilliant way to keep your mind laser-sharp until it's time to relax at the weekend.

Some players even like to pick up a crossword book or Sudoku puzzle during their time off, keen to hone their skills ready for when they're next needed.

Regardless of your reasons, brain teasers offer all sorts of brilliant benefits for those who dare to take them on. From increased memory skills to improved concentration, the long list of rewards certainly sound enticing. But do you think you've got what it takes?

See if you can spot the hidden face in nine seconds (American Puzzle Cards)

There's only one way to find out. In the latest brain teaser, you've got to find the hidden face in this image in nine seconds or less.

It's recommended you play against the clock, but if you'd prefer to play alone, we won't tell. As previously mentioned, it's well worth giving the puzzles a go, even if you exceed the narrow time constraints.

If you're a first-time player, it might also take you a few attempts at similar quizzes to wrap your head around the style of the puzzles. So don't worry if you struggle, it's to be expected.

You can always read the tip on the next line if you're keen for help. Hint: the hidden face, which belongs to a flower girl, is not far from the man, found in the centre of the illustration.

Did you find her? If you're still searching stop scrolling now, as the answer will be revealed below.

Alternatively, if you'd like some more practice before you record your score, we've got a range of brain teasers you can try.

For instance, see if you can find the boy's real mum in this photo in seven seconds or less.

Or, if you're looking for a different puzzle, this brainteaser challenges you to spot the odd letter in this sequence in 21 seconds - as apparently, only people with a high IQ can do it.
