The Challenge
Scan the sweet, mouthwatering sea of donuts above. At first glance, everything looks nearly identical: glossy chocolate icing, round shapes, perfect sprinkles. But lurking in this tricky grid is a hidden object—one donut that stands out from the rest.
Your mission:
Can you spot the odd donut in just 5 seconds?
Set your timer! Examine each row, but don’t let your eyes trick you; this is a puzzle challenge built to test even the most advanced visual perception.
Time is ticking will you prove your observational skills are truly genius-level, or will this brain teaser stump you like it did 98% of players?

Benefits of Solving Puzzles
Every day, more research highlights the cognitive benefits of solving puzzles like this. Optical illusion challenges work as a mental gym session for your brain! Each hidden object you find:
Enhances neural pathways for sharper memory and recall.
Improves pattern recognition, boosting both accuracy and speed.
Increases concentration and focus, especially under time pressure.
Is proven to help with real-world problem-solving, faster learning, and even stress relief.
Scientists say that regular optical illusion and brain teaser practice can give you a real edge—not just in puzzles, but in daily life and work too!

Solution
If you found the odd donut in just 5 seconds or less, congratulations! You’re among the exclusive 2% with next-level visual perception. The hidden object was designed to blend in so well, most people missed it on their first try.
Here’s the answer:
The odd donut is located in the third row from the bottom, third column from the right. Instead of a classic round donut, it has a ridged, almost spiky cruller shape and an extra-dark chocolate icing, setting it apart from the rest.
