But amongst all the hustle and bustle of the market, they’re no easy to spot.
Different types of brainteasers can challenge different parts of your brain.
Puzzles that ask you to find the hidden object are a good way to improve your visual skills – such as focus and observation – while spotting the odd one out might be a good IQ test.
And you can also expect to get an injection of dopamine when you solve the puzzle – leading to an element of stress relief.
“Puzzles are small-scale versions of this ‘quest for understanding,’ even though there is nothing new at the end of the hunt when a solution is uncovered,” Dr Danesi, professor emeritus of semiotics and anthropology and author, told Reader’s Digest.
“It is the hunt itself that is likely to stimulate various areas of the brain that involve discovery and a sense of satisfaction at once.”
Maths-based visual puzzles can also be a good way to improve your mental maths skills.
All of these puzzles help to keep your brain active and can be a good part of your daily routine.
