The Man In The Beans

by Brad Isaac on January 30, 2008

A friend sent me this brain teaser this morning with the following blurb:

Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3
seconds, your right half of your brain is better developed than most
people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, your right
half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1
minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning
slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man
after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise
to make that part of the brain stronger!!!

I have no idea if doctors really say that or not, no references were provided. But it’s still a fun brain teaser (click picture to make it larger).

It took me just under a minute to find the man. How about you?

I guess that can be achieved with a proper amount of luck, too – found him instantly, too :-) (but am not feeling smart ;-)

On my second try I found him in 1 second. I’m a genius!!!

Found him right off too… But what I am missing is a few of your tips. #21 is missing. There are two #24′s and then it skips from #26 on January 18th to #68 on January 21st. I’m subscribed to the RSS feed… Did I do something wrong? HELP!!!

There are two #24′s and then it skips from #26 on January 18th to #68 on January 21st. I’m subscribed to the RSS feed! Did I do something wrong? HELP!!!

One of two things has happened:

1. I can’t count
2. I wasn’t clear on how the tips would be presented.

I still have the rest to post (I know, I know I’m late!) But when I am done I’ll compile them all into One humongous post. That way we’ll all be on the same page ;)

I have to say, I strained my brain trying to find the man the first time, and felt like a complete moron when I didn’t. Then today I happened to glance at the picture and saw the little man instantaneously. Maybe my brain was too hungry the other day!

I was looking for a full body, or a pattern, or something, but after a couple minutes I thought “maybe it’s just a face” and boom – found it instantly.
