PUT your vision to the test with this sea-themed brainteaser that will reveal if you have an eye for detail.
Only those with the best eyesight and attention to detail will be able to find the sword in 10 seconds.
FreshersliveCan you spot the sword in just ten seconds?[/caption]
The two sailors are obvious in this image, but the sword is less obvious.
Those who created the puzzle have made it tricky by using bright colours like orange to catch attention and by including extreme detail in the drawing.
These various elements of the image are all working to keep you from your goal.
So, if you want to solve it in just a few seconds, get rid of any distractions.
While one sailor seems busy and faces away, and the other looks out to sea.
The hand on his hip makes you think that the sword would clearly be there, but it is not.
An object coming from the second sailor seems like it could be a sword, but it is not quite right.
So, all that is left is for you to scour the image carefully, making sure you don’t miss any element.
To do this, you may find it helps to minimise the search area.
For example, divide it into more manageable chunks like quarters and search each section carefully before moving on to the next.
Make sure you look at the textures of the materials.
Are there any that seem strange to you?
Don’t forget that the sword may not be as obvious as you may have initially thought.
Perhaps it helps to think of this as more of an optical illusion.

A JUDGE has taken the unusual step of naming a private maternity nurse responsible for 20 separate injuries on newborn twins, in order to protect other infants.
Judith Rowe KC said there was a “powerful public interest” in identifying Emily Waters.
Nurse Emily Waters has been named by a judge after she was found to be responsible for 20 separate injuries on newborn twinsAndrew StyczynskiAndrew StyczynskiJudge Rowe said Waters was working without being subject to any regulations of an employer or professional body[/caption]
Waters, in her mid-30s, claimed the injuries were accidental
She found freelance Waters responsible for an appalling catalogue of harm during a 12-day stint with a family in 2023.
Judge Rowe said Waters was working without being subject to any regulations of an employer or professional body.
She said: “It would be difficult to explain to the public why the name of the perpetrator was hidden, without a compelling reason.
“Beyond the question of public interest, publication will significantly add to the safeguards against the risk posed to children by Ms Waters.”
In October 2023, Waters, who handled night-feeds, woke the infants’ mother to say Baby X was in distress.
X had a broken leg, a fractured skull, a bruise to the forehead and seven rib breaks.
Twin Y had ten rib fractures.
Waters had googled “broken leg baby” at 12:19am, an hour before she woke the mum.
Police launched a probe but it was unclear if their investigation was ongoing.
Waters, in her mid-30s, claimed the injuries were accidental.
The judge, who was overseeing care proceedings, cleared the parents of wrongdoing at London’s Family Court and concluded “dishonest” Waters was a continued risk to children.

A MUM-OF-TWO shared the hate she has received after undergoing countless procedures post-partum.
Maisie revealed that she has forked over a total of £20,000 on surgeries, including “Turkey teeth”.
Mum-of-two Maisie shared some of the hate comments she often receives after undergoing multiple cosmetic proceduresYouTube / Truly
Speaking on the Truly YouTube channel, she explained how she got a gastric sleeve to help her go from 19 stone to nine stone seven pounds.
After her weight loss, Maisie decided to have a full “mummy makeover”, revealing that she “became obsessed with plastic surgery”.
I had a mummy makeover and I became obsessed with plastic surgery.
She explained that she “just can’t stop” and is delighted to feel comfortable in her body since she began dieting at 15.
Maisie joked that she had even “tried to contour my 42 chins”.
So far, she has had a gastric sleeve, thigh lift, breast uplift and implants, 360-degree tummy tuck, as well as having her eyebrows tatted on, Botox, and lip fillers.
The influencer estimated that spends around £150 each week on beauty appointments, including having her lashes done.
However, there is one procedure in particular that she said trolls online “hate.”
Maisie said that her “Turkey teeth” have been a point of contention since she first shared videos about them in March 2024.
“I get so many negative comments, the hate I got was horrific,” she explained, revealing that people have called her “cocky” and “not normal in the slightest”.
“That looks so ugly, why would someone do that to herself?” Maisie has been asked.
People in her comments section have also called her veneers a “joke”.
Another viewer told her the teeth are “too big for your gob”, adding that she can “hardly talk”.
One troll told her that her “dentist should be shot”, while another said: “You’ve got ivory hunters chasing you.”
However, Maisie said that she doesn’t let the hate get to her, in fact she embraces it.
Nothing fazes me anymore, put me on a slab, put the anesthetic in me, I’m away.
Maisie
She explained that she received 15 million views over three videos on her teeth, calling it a “good pay day”.
And the mum doesn’t plan to stop undergoing procedures any time soon.
“Nothing fazes me anymore, put me on a slab, put the anesthetic in me, I’m away,” she said.
Maisie revealed that she now wants a face lift and a nose job, as well as another boob job.

9 hours agoworld NewsComments Off on Chelsea player ratings: Jorgensen’s catastrophic error costs Blues but Caicedo a rare shining light in midfield
BLUES keeper Filip Jorgensen’s awful howler saw Aston Villa come from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 in the Prem.
Enzo Fernandez’s rapid opener inside nine minutes came from Pedro Neto’s stunning breeze past Ian Maatsen.

ReutersFilip Jorgensen’s howler saw Villa win 2-1[/caption]
But the Blues soon fell apart after Villa loanee Marcus Rashford’s blistering introduction at half-time.
Malo Gusto and Reece James couldn’t cope with Rashford – who looked like a different player from his recent woes at Old Trafford.
Rashford provided two assists for fellow January signing Marco Asensio to leave Chelsea with two Prem wins from nine games.
Here SunSport’s Graham Hill gives his Chelsea ratings from a booming Villa Park.
FILIP JORGENSEN – 4
Horrible error for Villa’s late winner as Asensio’s shot squirmed under his body – ironically he had made a crucial save before that.
MALO GUSTO – 6
Failed to get a decent touch on Cash’s ball – and that led to Villa’s second half equaliser. Struggled to deal with Rashford’s presence.
TREVOH CHALOBAH – 3
The defender suffered a huge blow as he had to come off after just six minutes clutching his ribs following a challenge from Asensio.
LEVI COLWILL – 6
Found himself with a new central defensive partner early in the game and looked uncertain at times.
MARC CUCURELLA – 6
Defending Chelsea’s left flank was not as troublesome as the right hand side, and the Spaniard looked stylish as Villa applied more pressure
REECE JAMES – 6
Stepped in for the injured Noni Madueke and took the captain’s armband, had a good battle with Cash.
ENZO FERNANDEZ – 6
Right place, right time to open the scoring, a real threat early on, took a booking for the team, lucky to escape a second
MOISES CAICEDO – 7
Provided a strong presence in midfield, spotted danger early and halted a number of Villa raids.
His second-half ball should have provided Chelsea with their winner.
COLE PALMER – 6
Largely quiet game but wasted his chance to win the game when he collected a Caicedo through ball – but stumbled – that allowed Konsa to clear the shot
PEDRO NETO – 7
Great work for the opening goal when he left Maatsen standing before crossing to find Fernandez.
CHRIS NKUNKU- 5
Hugged the left touchline, should have been involved more, not as much of a threat as Neto, subbed with 14 minutes to go.
SUBS
TOSIN ADARABIOYO: (for Chalobah, 6mins) – 6
Needed some time to fit in at the back after Chalobah’s injury.
JADON SANCHO: (for Nkunku, 76mins) – 5
Did little to affect the game after coming on for an ineffective Nkunku.
