Everyone can see the sailors – but you have a high IQ & 20/20 vision if you can spot the sword in ten seconds
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.
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.
How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?
Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
Some benefits include:
- Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.

When you think you’ve found it, or if you’ve thrown in the towel, scroll down to reveal where the sword is.
Now that your brain is fired up, why not have a go at some more mind-boggling challenges?
Don’t forget the tips you learned earlier if needed.
As always, the answers will be shared below.
Once you give those a go, you can find some more on our puzzles page.
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.
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.
Hospitals and schools told to buy more British food in huge boost to UK farmers
HOSPITALS and schools will be told to buy more British fruit and veg in an olive branch to angry farmers.
New rules mean half of all grub served up in the public sector must come from UK farms or hit the same high welfare standards.
It means British farmers will find it easier to get a slice of government contracts worth a tasty £5 billion.
It will be seen as an olive branch to farmers – who have staged tractor blockades across the country in protest at the inheritance tax hike.
Steve Reed – Cabinet minister for the environment and food – said: “The Government is committed to using its own purchasing power to back British produce.
“That means buying more British food where we can.
“This will help farmers compete for a fairer share of the £5 billion a year spent on public-sector catering contracts.”
The announcement comes after years of fury at the low quality slop served up on hospital wards.
Mr Reed will unveil the big boost at next week’s National Farming Union conference
Ministers plan to tear up red tape to make it easier for smaller British farmers to apply for the lucrative public sector contracts.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS ‘sick’ of hearing about Man Utd’s decline and ‘some think Sir Alex Ferguson is to blame’
SIR JIM RATCLIFFE and the rest of INEOS are “sick” of hearing about Manchester United’s glorious past and recent decline.
And some within United’s hierarchy believe the recent struggles go down to legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who remained with the club as an ambassador after retiring from the dugout in 2013.
According to The Mirror, minority shareholder Ratcliffe, 72, and director of sport Sir Dave Brailsford “want absolutely nothing to do with the past” and are done hearing about how Man Utd used to dominate.
Brailsford feels the past’s achievements are weighing heavily on how the Red Devils now go about the business of bringing back the glory years.
So much so that it’s become an “obsession” not to mention the period when Man Utd were one of the best teams in thw world.
In fact, some influential figures at Old Trafford even feel that Ferguson is to blame for the Manchester giants’ decline the last 12 years.
Fergie won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League trophies during a stunning 17-year reign that ended in 2013.
But club chiefs feel Sir Alex’s presence didn’t allow the club to embrace developments in coaching and scouting.
The Scottish legend’s multi-million pound contract was ended in October by the new regime, who are devoted to cutting costs amid high losses.
SunSport revealed another savage round of redundancies is imminent.
Employees have been called up for a meeting that will take place at Old Trafford on Monday.
They are expecting to be told that up to 200 more jobs are set to be cut.
That’s just seven months after INEOS laid off 250 members of staff at United.
Zhilei Zhang brutally knocked out by Agit Kabayel as Chinese warrior, 41, stopped for first time in career
AGIT KABAYEL climbed off the deck to chop down 20-stone, 6ft6in Zhilei Zhang.
The underdog gave away six inches in height and three stone in weight but beat the breath and enthusiasm out of the loveable veteran inside six fun rounds.
Barring a fifth-round knockdown, Kabayel showed exactly how a good little’un beats a good big’un, flooding Zhang’s basement until the Great Wall fell.
China’s 41-year-old southpaw started the bout like a man who knew time was not on his side.

Zhang chased the Kurdish German around the ring, slashing at his head from every angle.
Kabayel, 32, was clever and stayed out of range, he stabbed at Zhang’s body and threw the occasionally looped right hand.
Twenty stone Zhang started to fatigue from as early as the second but every punch Kabayel connected with his shaven bowling-ball of a head bounced right off.
The better shots from the 2017 Derek Chisora conqueror were the whipped hooks to Zhang’s never-ending torso.

Moments after Callum Smith and Josh Buatsi had put on a valiant show of light-heavyweight body punching, these two titans gave us an XXL version, in slower motion.
Kabayel seemed confident that surviving the first half of the bout would allow him to pick off an exhausted veteran late on.
Kabayel poured on the pressure thick and fast in the fourth, like chilli sauce on kebabs, his self-confessed guiltiest pleasure.
But Zhang was far more resilient than the sort of late-night pitta bread that melts limply in your hands at 3am.
Kabayel was coasting the fifth after a minute of one-way action.
But Zhang threw a three-punch combination that looked clumsy when the first two missed, but the final right hook shot landed flush and Kabayel was decked and had to crawl up after eight seconds.
Kabayel rallied though and almost burst Zhang with a body assault as soon as the sixth started.
It looked like Zhang was beaten and needed to take a knee but he battled on and kept taking blows.
Eventually, Kabayel toppled the giant and Zhang folded into the canvas and could not rise in time to continue.
I was ‘obsessed’ with plastic surgery after weight loss – trolls target me, you should hear what they say about my teeth
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”.
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.
