A new brainteaser claims that only highly intelligent people can spot the strange letter in a sea of letters
A new puzzle features rows of K’s and X’s and asks viewers to find the hidden letter.
Finding the letter requires creative and quick thinking, and if you can find the letter in 13 seconds or less, your intelligence level is higher than people who take longer.

Finding the letter is not so much about looking and just seeing, but about finding another way to look at it.
You can scan the rows back and forth quickly, but the real test is how quickly you develop problem-solving and logical reasoning skills.
The answer is that the other letter is ‘Y’, which is hidden in the fourth row and 13th column between the X’s.
Some teasers can be used to test your math or lateral thinking skills, while others are used to test your observation skills.
Similar to the letter search brainteaser, puzzles that ask the person to identify the twenty differences between two pictures, for example, test your ability to locate the items quickly. Math brainteasers, on the other hand, require the individual to think logically.
A math brainteaser might look like this: “Two years ago I was three times my brother’s age. In three years I will be twice as old as my brother. How old are each of us now?’
The ‘Y’ is hidden between the eight rows and fourteen columns
These types of brain teasers promote stimulation in the brain and can help build visual and spatial reasoning skills.

And while the letter puzzle may have proven tricky for some, not all brainteasers are created equal. You can rest assured that it is not that you have a low IQ, but simply that it can indicate what type of intelligence you possess.
