You may think you are just staring at a cartoon, but your brain is doing something far more interesting. When you tackle a spot-the-mistake IQ puzzle, you activate areas of your brain linked to logical reasoning, visual scanning, and critical thinking. These are the same mental muscles used in fields like data science, engineering, and detective work.
Your brain is like the central processing unit of your body. Every day, it is bombarded with loads of information, and it has to decide what to pay attention to and what to overlook. This is referred to as selective attention. This ability is strongly connected to your capacity to handle intricate information when faced with pressure. Solving these puzzles quickly and accurately reveals strong visual-spatial reasoning and situational awarenress.
The challenge today seems straightforward. Two individuals. Two different cooking arrangements. One error. The type that your brain either catches right away or totally overlooks.
Can you spot the mistake in 5 seconds or less?
The Challenge: Who Is Cooking Wrong? A or B?

In this comic-style visual brain teaser, two people can be seen cooking.
-
Person A is in his kitchen, cooking something in a pan on a stove.
-
Person B is outside in her garden, flipping food on a barbecue grill.
Seems normal, right? Yes, at a glance, everything looks normal... but is it?
Both look like competent cooks. But... but... but...
There's a logical error hidden in plain sight. You have only 5 seconds to catch it.
Do not overthink too much. Look for visual clues. Trust your instincts.
Which one is making a mistake? Is it A or B?
The Reveal: Did You Catch It?
If you guessed A, give yourself a high-five! Look closely, the stove is not turned on. There's no burner flame while he is busy stirring the food.
