For instance, the problem with the photo above is right there in front of you and should be the first thing you’ll see, but the human mind is wired to start the search from a critical perspective rather than a simple one. Instead of staring at the photo with an open mind, most people would likely limit their mental resources to hidden corners and secret elements.

Sometimes, it helps to start small and take in the big picture all at once. You’d find what you’re searching for in a heartbeat. If you can learn this from solving a few puzzles, it could turn out to be a great life lesson someday. You may be stumped with a situation that doesn’t seem to have a forthcoming solution, but reconditioning your mind to search from a simpler perspective might just be the trick you need.

Now you see why puzzles can turn out to be great life lessons?

This photo is obviously the work of a talented Photoshop artist, and we certainly love to see it!
