See if you can beat 9% of people and do it in under 17 seconds
WITH Christmas just around the corner, there’s no better way to get into the festive spirit than by giving your brain a fun workout with a holiday-themed brainteaser.
Capturing the magic of the season, this snowy puzzle takes you on a frosty drive home for Christmas – just like many of us will be doing soon.
The festive scene is complete with snow-covered trees, Santa and his reindeer, and six hidden snowflakes. Think you can find them all?
This isn’t just a bit of holiday fun – brainteasers like this are fantastic for giving your brain a workout.
Especially during the busy holiday season, they can help sharpen focus, reduce stress, and provide a much-needed pause amid the hustle and bustle.
And let’s face it – after navigating holiday shopping and planning, your brain deserves a little playful distraction.
If you’re struggling to locate all six snowflakes, don’t worry – you’re not alone.
In fact, only 9% of people can solve this tricky puzzle in under 17 seconds.
While the brainteaser is a fun seasonal challenge, also wants to remind motorists to prioritise safety on the roads this winter.
Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures are often part of the lead-up to Christmas, making it crucial to prepare for journeys to visit loved ones.
Tim Rodie, Motorpoint’s resident driving expert, advises planning ahead to reduce stress on the day of travel.
He says: “This is particularly true for drivers who aren’t used to making long journeys or spending lots of time in their vehicles.
“For anyone planning longer journeys to visit friends and family this Christmas, my biggest piece of advice would be to do as much as possible to reduce stress on the day you are travelling.
“For example, filling your car up with fuel a couple of days before you travel might seem simple, but can mean that you start your journey much more relaxed.”
Still struggling to find them? Don’t worry, only 68% of people were able to find all six snowflakes hidden in the brainteaser.
Tim continued: “We all tend to be working to tight timelines over the festive period so it’s worth building extra time into your journey to account for traffic and a couple of breaks to stretch your legs and get some fresh air.
