If you’re someone who genuinely enjoys giving your brain a good workout with optical illusions and brain teasers, I truly admire you.
Personally, I’ve always found them challenging. When I was six, my grandmother gave me a book called ‘Train Your Brain.’ It sat on my bookshelf untouched until I was nearly sixteen, and even then, most of the puzzles remained unsolved enigmas for me.
Despite my struggles, I can appreciate that optical illusions are incredibly popular. Online, people love testing their observation skills by finding hidden elements in seemingly ordinary images. It’s amazing how something so simple, yet hidden in plain sight, can captivate so many.
Recently, I came across a brain teaser that has completely stumped me. Dubbed the “National Leaders Tree,” this image dares viewers to identify how many faces are hidden within it.
The origin of the image remains somewhat mysterious, but it’s rapidly gaining popularity online as people compare their findings with one another.
While the two main faces at the bottom are easy to spot, the real challenge is uncovering the others hidden among the branches and leaves.
Curiously, the number of faces you can identify is said to offer insight into your memory abilities.
While there are more traditional methods for testing memory, why not try something different? Grab a pen, jot down how many faces you can find, and then scroll down to see what your score says about your memory.
2 to 4 faces
As mentioned, the two faces at the base of the tree are immediately noticeable. However, if you only manage to spot one or two more faces, it could suggest a potential memory disorder.
5 to 6 faces
If you’ve spotted five or six faces, you’re doing well, but this number might indicate an increased risk for Alzheimer’s or dementia.
7 to 8 Faces
If you spotted seven or eight faces, it indicates that your memory is fairly good, though there’s still room for improvement. Regularly tackling puzzles and mental exercises can help sharpen your cognitive abilities even further.
More than 9 Faces
If you managed to find nine or more faces, well done! Your memory and facial recognition skills are exceptional.
