Optical Illusion: Can you spot the bag with money within 10 seconds?

Brain teaser riddles are a form of puzzle that requires a sincere thought process to solve. It also requires an unconventional way of thinking which gives constraints in mind and also deviates our minds into lateral thinking. Riddles always come with certain logic which are hard to find and understand. But, if one does so then it is an accomplishment for them indicating to have a strong sense of observation with accurate cognitive skills to go with.

In the above image, you will see three bags kept in a garden. Kimberly, a figure, saw the three bags and found a note that read, ‘Find the bag with money.’ Now in a dilemma among the three, you need to locate the bag that has $1,000,000 while the other two are empty. Save her time, you need to help her locate the bag as she only has the time to open one and find the luck. But if only 1 message is true, which bag indeed has the money hidden?

Brain teaser riddles usually use vertical thinking as an individual goes straight to the obvious and the most logical answer. However, with lateral thinking in mind, one comes up with a solution to a riddle or scenario that requires you to piece the facts together and then come up with a creative answer. This is the right way of finding the answer to any brain teaser riddle quickly and rationally.

Now, returning to the answer, fear not as we are here to help you. If you have found the correct answer then pat yourself as this was a tough one. But, if not then we have provided you the answer and its explanation. As in the beginning, we wrote that she could only open ‘ONE’ of the bags, which indicated the first digit with a value in the numeric chart i.e. 1, which meant the first bag had the money hidden inside.

This was a tough observational call which also required a small amount of reasoning but strong observation and understanding of the statements and the image that comes across while solving the riddle.
