The playful artwork shows a bunch of cars stacked on top of each other but there doesn't appear to be a taxi in sight.

A person with brilliant skills behind the wheel should be able to quickly find the black cab and its driver which is cleverly blended in within the photo.

Turn on your headlights and and try to see if you can solve the optical illusion using your clever problem-solving brain.

In the image there is a lot going on with a whole range of cars ranging from oranges, blues, greens and white models as well as other black cars that make it even harder to spot the single motor out of place.

The pure amount of cars in the picture is what really throws you off from hailing for the taxi though as there are so many distractions.

It's very hard to spot as you can't see at first glance and it takes ultra focus to scan across the whole picture and ignore everything else and really spot the obvious clue.

Whether you start from the top row of cars or the bottom set of motors you're sure to run out of time and be left having to walk home.

Try to think outside the box and figure out what makes a taxi stand out from regular cars as the artist has made this one very difficult.

This makes it near impossible to find the useful motor in under seven seconds as you need to search through it super-fast.

Studies have shown, people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.

Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.

And according to ZenBuisness: "These visual puzzles can give you a good mental workout that can, in turn, help you think more efficiently and solve problems more easily."

The photo left many eager to find the hidden taxi but several struggled due to sneakily placed give away and the plethora of other black cars that really make this one almost impossible.

In this particular piece, people with a high visual IQ should be able to find the missing taxi pretty quickly or they'll never reach the annoying solution.

A top tip is to look through the trickery and stay focused on the slight giveaways in the image.

If you want a huge clue then look for the only car with a yellow taxi sign on it.

If you still can’t find the taxi, scroll down to see the solution below.

If you enjoyed this challenge, why not try another?

Try and see if this next one is a walk in the park and spot where the car has ended up in the park.

But be warned it's spectacularly hard.

Whether that was too tough or you made it in time give this one a go and find the second face that's somewhere in this photo, scroll down for the solution below.
