Some research suggests that messy spaces are highly correlated with intelligence.
If that is true then this person's IQ is something to brag about.
Designed by , this brainteaser skillfully obscures the ring in nearly plain view.
At first glance, it is easy to tell that the image is a poorly organized bedroom with clothing, school supplies, and other miscellaneous belongings strewn about.
But the more you begin to focus on any one part of the image, distinguishing shapes and objects becomes more difficult.
This is, in part, due to the lack of definitive outlines on many of the objects.
Combine the lack of outlines with the relatively muted colors used and some of the objects might begin to seem like they are melting together as one.
As a result, your brain finds it easier to just look at the whole image, understand that it is a bedroom that needs cleaning, and move on.

In order to actually solve this search and find brainteaser, you will have to be more intentional about circumventing the brain's typical functioning and systematically search the image.
First consider what a ring might look like, what colors it might be, if there could be gems, and the jewelry's size compared to other objects in the room.

Once you have the scale and color potentials for the ring locked in your mind's eye, begin systematically scanning the image.
Breaking up the picture into invisible slices, vertical or horizontal, or into a grid will better organize scanning.
Then go bit by bit looking for the ring.
If you still cannot locate the piece with this tactic, let some quick hints help:
- The ring might just be the smallest object in the room
- Despite being the smallest object in the room, the diamond on this ring might just blind a person looking right at it
- Like with most things in this room, the ring is not in its place or anywhere someone would safely keep a valuable object
