Who can uncover hidden charm in snowflake flurry?

-

Here’s a topical challenge to warm up brains that may have gone into temporary hibernatio­n during current wintry weather.

Can you find one of the sparkling snowflake charms that jewellery brand Pandora has hidden in the artwork pictured?

And, if you can do so in under four seconds, then you can rightfully claim the record as fastest finder.

The current recordhold­er Olivia Lott from Tunbridge Wells gave this advice for finding the charm secreted in the blizzard of snowflakes.

She said: “There’s a temptation to get up close with the screen to try and find it.

“But I’ve learned with practice that the fastest way to find them is to distance yourself from the screen to get a full view of the whole thing.

“I’ve found this to be particular­ly effective when something is buried in a brain-teaser with a regular pattern, like this one from Pandora.

“But, when there’s a lot going on in the design, it’s best to take a closer look.

“I’m a bit addicted to these braintease­rs; whenever I see one in the news, I can’t help but drop what I’m doing and give it a go!”

Carly Hunt, head of brand marketing for Pandora UK, said: “We really wanted to bring a little bit of fun and cheer to our customers.

“We weren’t expecting people to find it so quickly.

“Well done to Olivia who whizzed through it – she’s obviously a pro at puzzles!”

The longest time it took 25 testers to find the sparkling charm was two minutes 15 seconds.

But other puzzlers took almost a minute to find the sparkling charm.

Pandora’s website confirms the average time taken to find the charm is 22 seconds.

So, are you up for the challenge and can you beat the record-setting four seconds? Go on, give it a go.
