Prove you’re the brains of the family with this seemingly impossible .

Puzzles like this aren’t just great for keeping the kids occupied or quelling your boredom on a long commute. Research suggests that they can improve your cognitive ability including concentration, attention, and even your memory.

However, this brainteaser isn’t for the average Joe, and only those with a high IQ will be to solve it in less than 15 seconds. If you’re confident you’ve got razor-sharp vision and high intellect, you should be able to solve this in a matter of seconds. Ready? Let’s get started…

If you need help sifting through the bananas quickly, you can always try zooming in on the image on your phone.

If the fruity challenge was no match for a mini Einstein like yourself, don’t worry, we’ve got another puzzle to test out your intellect (don’t want you getting cocky after beginner’s luck, after all). For this one, you’ll need to be a technical genius with a flare for words. If you enjoy watching Countdown on a lazy Sunday, you may have a bit of advantage with this one.

You can find out the correct password here, and try our other brainteasers and puzzles here.
