People are failing this simple brainteaser left and right – Can you solve it faster than the record holder? Test your skills now!

Brainteasers have long been a beloved pastime for those who enjoy a mental workout, and the latest challenge sweeping the internet is no exception. It's a simple task: count the number of mugs in a picture. But as many are discovering, what seems straightforward at first glance can quickly become a head-scratcher. The question is, can you outdo the current record holder and solve it in record time?

The puzzle, presented by Furniture at Work, features a jumble of coffee mugs, each with its own unique design. Florals, spirals, hearts, spots, and stripes adorn the mugs in hues of dark brown, green, and white. But there's a catch – the mugs are all a similar light brown shade, and only a few handles stand out in contrasting colors, adding a layer of complexity to the challenge.



The average time to solve this brainteaser is 2 minutes and 47 seconds, but the record to beat is a swift 1 minute and 54 seconds. To claim the title of record holder, you'll need not only a keen eye for detail but also the ability to analyze and differentiate between the overlapping patterns and similar colors at a rapid pace.

A spokesperson from Furniture At Work highlighted the importance of taking breaks throughout the workday for overall wellbeing. They suggested that engaging in such puzzles can provide a stimulating and enjoyable diversion during those much-needed tea or coffee breaks. Plus, it adds a bit of competitive fun to the mix by challenging individuals to beat their record times.



Now, let's turn our attention to the brainteaser itself. The image in question is bustling with mugs, all seemingly ready to be filled with a steaming cup of coffee or tea. Your task is to count how many you can spot. But don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity – the mugs are cleverly arranged and stacked, making it a true test of your observational skills.

If you've already given it a go and found yourself stumped, you're not alone. Many have tried and failed to pinpoint the exact number of mugs. However, if you're among the few who have managed to guess correctly, congratulations are in order! With the correct answer being 57 mugs, anyone who gets close to this number should certainly give themselves a pat on the back for their sharp analytical abilities.

For those who enjoy a good challenge, this brainteaser is just the tip of the iceberg. There are countless puzzles out there designed to test your observational skills, such as the one created by PayingTooMuch. In this summer-themed puzzle, you're tasked with finding three broken suitcases, emphasizing the importance of travel insurance. It's a seemingly simple task, but only those with the sharpest vision can spot the damaged luggage in under 30 seconds.

I think I counted 54, before going crosseyed but could be sorely mistaken. That reminds of the story about telling the father that his wife had given birth to a healthy baby boy, the father was ecstatic until the told that unfortunately his son was born without any eye lids at which he broke down and cried the poor little bugger would blind? The doctor told him that as he was a boy, they could circumcise him and use the skin for a graft. At which the father cried and said but wouldn't that make him COCKEYED. The doctor no, but it would give him FORESIGHT?
