An optical illusion is a fun way to challenge your mind. However, some people believe they are also an indicator of intellect. For example, a new brain teaser with a horse can only be solved by “highly intelligent people.”
Solving an Optical Illusion
The optical illusion depicts a fully developed brown and white horse. Viewers are challenged to locate the second horse in the photograph. However, there is a twist: most people are looking for “a second horse” when attempting to solve the optical illusion. However, this optical illusion is supposed to represent intellect because the viewer must think beyond the box to find the second horse.
Although a second horse isn’t pictured, the word “horse” is seemingly hidden in the brown and white horse’s glossy coat.
A Different Perspective
This brain teaser has stumped most people because they’re so focused on finding another horse, that it doesn’t occur to them they could be looking for a word instead. Optical illusions range in how they trick your brain. Some optical illusions test mathematical skills or logic. On the other hand, this horse optical illusion tests observational skills.
Actor Bernard Hill, of Titanic and Lord Of The Rings, has died at 79
In Titanic, Hill played Captain Edward Smith, one of the only characters based on a real person, and in the Lord Of The Rings franchise, he was Théoden, King of Rohan.
Actor Bernard Hill, who delivered a rousing cry before leading his people into battle in The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King and went down with the ship as the captain in Titanic, has died.
Hill, 79, died on Sunday (May 5) morning, his agent Lou Coulson said.
Hill joined the Lord Of The Rings franchise in the second film of the trilogy, 2002’s The Two Towers, as Théoden, King of Rohan. The following year, he reprised the role in Return Of The King, a movie that won 11 Oscars.
In one of the film’s most memorable scenes, Hill’s character fires up his overmatched forces by delivering a battle cry on horseback that sends his troops thundering downhill towards the enemy and his own imminent death.
“Arise, arise, riders of Théoden!” Hill hollers. “Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin and the world’s ending! Death! Death! Death!”
