The internet loves visual puzzles, and one of the latest challenges is the “Eye Test,”
where participants must spot how many times the letter “m” appears in a grid filled with “n”s.
At first glance, the grid looks simple—rows of lowercase “n”s—but a few “m”s are hidden within,
testing your focus, patience, and attention to detail.
Why do these puzzles spread so widely? They tap into our natural urge to solve problems, break daily monotony,
and give our brains a quick workout. There’s also a sense of satisfaction in finding the answer, especially when it seems tricky at first.
Psychologically, this puzzle exploits our brain’s habit of recognizing patterns. When you see rows of “n”s,
your brain assumes the pattern continues, making it harder to notice slight variations like an “m.” To succeed,
you must slow down, look carefully, and shift from automatic recognition to active observation.
If you spotted all the “m”s—congratulations! It shows sharp eyes and strong focus. If you missed some,
it’s a reminder to practice mindfulness and pay closer attention in detail-oriented situations.
The correct answer: 8.
