Did you know that solving puzzles and brain teasers releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that induces feelings of joy and a sense of achievement? Regularly solving brain teasers has been found to be beneficial in maintaining mental sharpness and potentially slowing down cognitive decline with age. In general, solving brain teasers can be a fun and engaging way to relieve stress and reduce anxiety.

That's not all. Brain teasers are also effective at stimulating your mind and cognitive abilities. Brain teasers help strengthen memory by requiring you to recall patterns, sequences, and details. This sharpens your short-term memory. So with overtime exposure to brain teasers, you will stop forgetting where you kept your keys last. 

If you suffer from a short attention span or get distracted easily, then engaging with puzzles can boost your ability to concentrate on a single task and ignore distractions. If you struggle with finding creative solutions, brain teasers can strengthen your ability to analyse information, evaluate different possibilities, and make logical deductions.

 So by now, you would have understood that every time you challenge your brain with a mind-bending visual test, you are giving it the opportunity to sharpen visual IQ. So, without further ado, here is one such brainteaser that will stretch your brain. In this image, there is one item that is the odd one out. Can you spot it before time runs out?
