Brain teasers and puzzles are a great way to test the mind and stretch one of the body’s most important organs. This brain teaser challenges you to find four mistakes in an otherwise innocuous-looking scene.
The scene shows a male and a female scuba diver enjoying a dive. They are approaching a section of coral as a dolphin and other fish pass by.
The test is to spot the four mistakes in the scene in under 13 seconds.
This brain teaser requires an active mind and attention to detail if all the errors are to be spotted in under 13 seconds.
Furthermore, while this brain teaser could seem like an innocuous bit of fun, it could have long-term benefits.

If you didn’t spot the four errors in the graphic, don’t worry. Not every spots them in the first 13 seconds.
The mistakes are that the female scuba diver is wearing a bottle instead of a breathing cylinder on her back while the dolphin has only one fin.
Not only this, but the words SOS have been written underwater and one of the fish is actually a butterfly, which can’t live underwater.
While brain teasers and brain puzzles may only be a bit fun or a slight distraction, they could have some long-term benefits.
The healthier a brain is the lower a person’s risk of developing a neurodegenerative disorder such as dementia.
While factors such as lifestyle can have an impact on dementia risk, some experts have found that maintaining the health of the brain can have a significant impact on dementia risk.
This week is Dementia Action Week (DAW), during this week there is greater awareness of dementia in all its different forms, including Alzheimer’s.
According to the charity behind DAW, Alzheimer’s Society, one person develops dementia every three minutes in the UK.
In a statement, the CEO of Alzheimer’s Society, Kate Lee, said: “This Dementia Action Week we want everyone to know there is support out there if you’re confused about symptoms, or don’t know how to have that first tricky conversation.
“As soon as you realise something is not right, come to Alzheimer’s Society – you can use our symptoms checklist to help have that all-important first chat with your GP.”
Dr Amir Khan, resident doctor on Lorraine and Good Morning Britain added: “A third of us will go on to develop dementia in our lifetimes – we need to change the idea that dementia is inevitable as we age – it’s not called getting old – it’s called getting ill.”
Statistics suggest that by 2040, 1.6 million people in the UK will have dementia.
