The challenge is actually an optical illusion, so it may be trickier to spot the object than it appears.

It was shared online by JagranJosh, and shows an old-fashioned man wearing a pointy hat and carrying a walking stick.

In the scene, the man is walking along a street that is flagged by a number of houses.

Your task is to find the hidden lamp, and if you can manage it within seven seconds, the publication claims it is a sign of “extraordinary intelligence”.

So how will you get on?

If you need a hint, you could try turning the picture upside down.

And a second clue is that you may need to look just above the man’s head.
