Viral challenge: find the panda bear hidden among the Dalmatians

This viral challenge proposes to find the panda bear hidden among the images of the Dalmatians. The idea is to identify this animal in just 8 seconds. If the feat is not achieved, you can try to extend the time limit a little longer.

In this type of challenge, different aspects are alluded to that may deceive the reader's eye. Usually it is a matter of hiding an object among others that are very similar. This creates a difficulty because when the geometric lines and tones merge with each other, the nervous system will identify the differences. It is seen as a whole and the parts are seen as part of that overall picture.

The key is to sharpen the gaze, and to scan each fragment of the painting separately. It may help to cover the rest of the painting with your hand or another object and leave only small pieces in sight. That way you can scan each part separately.

It may also help to look up, place it on another object, and after a few seconds to scan the photo again. That break can help you look back from scratch with a fresher perspective.

Here is the answer to this riddle that went viral on the networks:

As you can see, the Dalmatian was hidden on the back of the Dalmatian that is on the far right. It is formed by looking at the spots of the animal. But since there are so many, at first it is difficult to identify this graph.

They are known as riddles or viral challenges to a series of activities, which can be of various topics, such as mathematics, riddles, relationship of objects, among others. The purpose is to arouse people's interest in finding answers in a playful way.

In each case, different issues are appealed. There are usually many challenges that are based on photos and graphics, taking advantage of the visual nature that many social networks have. Next, another challenge that can arouse the interest of more than one user. In this case it's not about finding a hidden animal, but a letter.

The letter T

There is another puzzle that has become popular in recent times and is to find the letter T, which is in the middle of a sea of colorful images that are letters “L”. Obviously both letters have some resemblance but they are definitely not the same.

The goal is to identify the T in just 10 seconds. The letter T is not red, it is the clue offered in this viral riddle.

This test was created by a team at Johns Hopkins University in Boston, where researchers at its Institute of Learning Sciences found that knowing what not to look for can be extremely useful for people

The results of this study showed that when people are given time to learn what is possible to ignore before starting, they can search faster and more efficiently.

Here is the result of the challenge:

“People who explicitly ignore distracting information improve their visual search performance, a critical skill for professional searchers, such as radiologists and airport baggage inspectors,” said lead author, Corbin A. Cunningham. “This work has the potential to help occupations that rely on visual search by informing future training programs.”

When participants were told to constantly ignore a color, their reaction time slowed down at first. But after some time and practice, they found the target letters faster than the participants who were not given a color to remove.
