You have 20/20 vision if you can spot the number ‘690’ hidden among rows of ‘960s’ in under 30 seconds
YOU may just have 20/20 vision if you can spot the odd number out in this image.
The brainteaser shows the same number repeated over and over but there is an imposter among the bunch.
The image, created by the education website , contains the number 960 repeated 272 times.
However, one of the numbers listed is slightly different from the rest, can you spot it?
It is said you have impeccable vision if you can spot the odd one out in less than 30 seconds.
So set your stopwatches and keep your eyes peeled to see if you can beat the clock.
All the numbers are written in a white font on a red background, including the odd one out.
We can reveal the jumbled-up number is 690, and it is hiding in plain sight.
Despite appearing right under your nose the imposter is almost impossible to spot.
If you're struggling, we recommend focusing on the right side of the image.
Scan the columns and rows carefully, focusing on the beginning of each number.
If you still can't locate the 690 among the 960s, pay particular attention to the rows at the halfway point of the picture.
Keeping in mind our earlier advice of looking towards the right side of the picture, see if you can spot the 690 in the narrowed-down area.
If you haven't spotted the odd number out, count five columns from the right border of the image.
Now count down eight rows from the top of the picture and you will see the 690.
For anyone still having difficulty, the number is circled in the answer key below.

If you're struggling to see the odd word out, we recommend paying attention to the columns on the right side of the image.
Scan your eyes carefully over the narrowed-down search area.
For anyone who still hasn't spotted the misspelling, try focusing on the rows halfway down the picture.
If you need a clearer hint, count three columns over from the right border.
