You have razor-sharp vision if you can spot the joker hidden among the playing cards in under seven seconds
SPOTTING the playing cards is easy, but can you outsmart everyone and find the hidden joker in this optical illusion?
Time to put your vision skills to the test and solve this tricky brainteaser in just seven seconds or less.
This image is known as an optical illusion, meaning there could be other not-so obvious elements to be found.
Everyone can quickly see all the playing cards spread around in a big mess.
But only those with razor-sharp vision can solve this mind-bending puzzle in time.
Are you able to find the tricky joker or will you be left scratching your head?
It might seem a bit daunting at first, but the key is to carefully examine each section of the image.
You might wish to start from the top left corner of the image and work your way down, or maybe do the complete opposite – whatever gives you more confidence!
Another useful tactic is picking an element of the picture – in this case a card – and analyse what’s around it.
Were you able to spot the joker? If so, congratulations!
Still struggling to figure this one out? Have a look at the solution image at the bottom to check if you were close enough.

Helen Flanagan reveals she’s put on weight despite doing dry January after reintroducing two foods to her diet
HELEN Flanagan has revealed she’s put on weight – despite doing dry January – after reintroducing two foods to her diet.
The former Coronation Street star, 34, took to Instagram to share an update with her followers.
Helen confessed that she initially cut out alcohol to support boyfriend Robbie Talbot with the challenge.
But the mum-of-three realised she was benefiting from dry January even though she’d replaced drinking with snacking.
She wrote: “I’ve put weight on this January, I’ve done dry January, I wanted to support my boyfriend with it so did it myself…
“Then I realised my drinking habits probably weren’t the best myself… so cutting down on my drinking as made me just want to snack more. But it’s fine.”
Helen also revealed she’s eating bread and pasta for the first time in two years.
She continued: “My eating habits can be a bit wierd (eating disorder from my teens) but I try with it.
“I don’t think as women we’re ever happy, there’s always something to pick at, but I suppose as you get older it’s a nice thing as you just become more comfortable in your skin.”
Helen recently teased a return to Coronation Street after playing Rosie Webster between 2000 and 2018.
She shared a throwback from when she first joined the soap and previously told The Sun she’d love to go back.
Helen said: “I would absolutely love to go back to Coronation Street.
“I live now where I did growing up and I’ve moved around so much, you know, with my ex, football and stuff, so I’m back.
“But to be able to do Coronation Street, they would have to ask me back.
“Also if I went back and stuff, I’d want to be in a good storyline and what have you.”
Inside Arsenal’s wild celebrations after thrashing Man City 5-1 as set-piece coach Nicolas Jover is carried down tunnel
ARSENAL players were thrilled after beating Manchester City on Sunday.
The Gunners defeated the reigning champions 5-1 at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta‘s side went into the contest desperate to win, having been wound up by Erling Haaland‘s “stay humble” comment towards the Spaniard after September’s 2-2 draw.
Following the final whistle, Arsenal players made their way back down the tunnel in celebratory mood.
Academy graduate Ethan Nwaneri hugged the social media team’s camera operator.
While plenty of others hugged each other in glee.
Defender Gabriel yelled into the camera in elation.
And set-piece coach Nicolas Jover was even carried down the tunnel.
Injured star Bukayo Saka also looked buzzing at his team-mates’ triumph.
Despite Arsenal’s huge celebrations, they remain second in the Premier League – six points off Liverpool having played a game more.

Gunners supporters and players appeared to still be upset with City’s Treble-winning, two-time Golden Boot-holding striker Haaland.
Gabriel seemed to have a pop at the Norwegian, who did grab City’s short-lived leveller.
While hurt fans held up banners referencing his “humble” dig at Arteta.
The wounded Gunners also played “Humble” by Kendrick Lamar upon the final whistle, again as a nod to Haaland’s comment.
Myles Lewis-Skelly even performed the forward’s celebration after scoring Arsenal’s third.
Haaland’s dad responded by taking a dig of his own on social media, referencing Arsenal’s lack of success under Arteta.
Arsenal’s media team had shared a snap of a cross-legged Lewis-Skelly being mobbed.
The Gunners added the words: “This team” – along with a clenched fist.
Ex-Man City defender Haaland Sr quickly replied: ” «This Team» that wins everything. Ehhhhh, not” – followed by a blue heart.

Sick surgeon ‘raped & abused 300 kids often under anaesthetic’ for 25yrs after litany of missed chances to stop him
A VILE surgeon has been accused of raping nearly 300 children while they were under anaesthetic for 25 years in the biggest paedophile case in French history.
Joel Le Scouarnec, 73, who has already been sentenced to 15 years behind bars in another shocking case, will face the courts again this month.
The disgraced surgeon has been accused of abusing hundreds of children between 1989 and 2014.
Le Scouarnec will face more than 100 rape charges and over 150 sexual assault charges when his trial starts in Vannes, north-west France.
Worrying questions have been raised after it was revealed a litany of chances to stop the monster were missed.
An FBI warning had alerted the French authorities that the former surgeon had been visiting child abuse websites.
Le Scouarnec was handed a four month suspended sentence for that vile crime in 2005 but his career was not affected.
It was revealed the French health ministry was made aware of this conviction in 2006 but did not remove Le Scouarnec from his job.
His case has raised questions around a supposed coverup by his colleagues and hospitals he worked at.
Le Scouarnec’s previous conviction had sparked a huge debate at the Quimperlé hospital when one of his colleagues accidentally discovered his sentence, according to France Info.
This worker wrote a letter to the management saying they had “doubts about (his) ability to remain completely calm when in contact with young children”.
Despite this, a unanimous decision was made to keep him at work with no extra checks.
His case had also been escalated to the French health ministry’s disciplinary department in November 2006 but no action was taken.
The ministry even allowed Le Scouarnec to continue working in 2015, despite passing the legal retirement limit.
The nearly 300 reported child victims that the disgraced doctor will be back in court for, were supposedly mostly abused in the hospital he worked in.
Le Scouarnec stopped working at the hospital when he was finally imprisoned in 2017 when his six-year-old neighbour reported rapes.
The former doctor was arrested and sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2020 for raping and sexually assaulting four young girls.
Two of these victims were his nieces, one was his neighbour, and the fourth was a former patient of his.
After his 2017 arrest, investigators made shocking discoveries at his home.
Sickening child-sized sex dolls and over 300,000 child abuse images were discovered.
Authorities also found diaries that detailed sexual acts with children, in which he described himself as “exhibitionist, voyeur, sadist, masochist, scatologist, fetishist, pedophile”, according to Le Parisien.
He added: “And I am very happy about it.”
His diaries reportedly described the apparent crimes in great detail and without an ounce of regret or empathy.
Le Scouarnec denied these words were a reality and claimed they were just his sick “fantasies”.
Authorities believe the sick man often acted on his apparent victims while they were asleep and he was operating on them in the hospitals he worked at, in Morbihan, Finistère, Indre-et-Loire, and Charente-Maritime, according to Le Parisien.
Some of his apparent victims, who are now older, claimed the doctor touched them inappropriately even when their parents were also in the room.
The sick doctor could now face 20 years behind bars, which is the maximum sentence – excluding repeat offences – for aggravated rape in France.
The child sex cases that have rocked France
FRANCE has been shaken by several shocking child abuse and rape cases.
Joel Le Scouarnec, 73, will face the courts again in a new court case accusing the former-surgeon of abusing nearly 300 children.
He was previously sentenced to 15 years behind bars for sexually assaulting four children.
The surgeon has been accused of assaulting kids between 1989 and 2014.
Authorities believe he could have also done this to children as he operated on them under anaesthetic.
The Outreau case from the early 2000s also shocked France.
An extensive paedophile network was revealed after a criminal case in northern France.
A couple confessed to abusing children between 1997 to 2000 but after they pointed fingers at friends and neighbours, the huge web was unraveled.
Among the 18 suspects were a priest who lived in their apartment building, a court bailiff from a neighbouring town, his wife, a taxi driver, a labourer, and his son.
FRANCE’S SHAME
This has not been the only horrifying rape case to shock France.
The country’s most notorious serial rapist, Dominique Pelicot, was sentenced for organising the sickening mass rape of his wife, Gisèle, for nine years.
This beast had recruited at least 70 men from online chatrooms to rape his wife and filmed the assaults – even including their next-door neighbour.
He stored around 20,000 images and videos of the perverted acts on a stick.
A huge trial of all the men complicit in Gisèle’s rape was held in 2024.
A total of 47 men were found guilty of rape, most against Gisèle, while two were convicted of attempted rape and two of sexual assault.
How you can get help
Women's Aid has this advice for victims and their families:
- Always keep your phone nearby.
- Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.
- If you are in danger, call 999.
- Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
- Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
- If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
- Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.
If you are a victim of domestic abuse, SupportLine is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm on 01708 765200. The charity’s email support service is open weekdays and weekends during the crisis – messageinfo@supportline.org.uk.

‘Bright’ schoolgirl, 15, dies after being pulled from river amid ‘beautiful’ teen tributes after ‘parent’s nightmare’
A SCHOOLGIRL who was pulled from a river after being reported missing yesterday has tragically died in hospital.
The 15-year-old girl, who has been named locally as Imogen Cleary-Vong, was rescued from the Moyola River in Castledawson, Co Derry after she was reported missing at around 5am yesterday morning.
Lough Neagh Search and Rescue team, fire and ambulance crews rushed to the river early yesterday and the young girl was pulled from the water and rushed to Antrim Area Hospital.
However, the PSNI confirmed that the teenager was sadly pronounced dead in hospital later, adding that “the death is not being treated as suspicious at this time”.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said crews mobilised at 5:18am, deploying two fire appliances from Magherafelt, the water rescue team from Crescent Link in Derry and specialist rescue teams from Central Fire Station in Belfast.
A spokesperson said: “Firefighters using water rescue equipment, thermal cameras and the rescue boat attended and working with other agencies, they removed one casualty from the water and into care of the NIAS and she was transferred to Antrim Area Hospital.”
Imogen, who was a pupil at Saint Mary’s Grammar School in Magherafelt, has been remembered as the “beloved daughter” of Michael and Pauline and “loving sister” of Dylan and Cody.
A notice online said: “Deeply regretted by her father, mother, brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family circle and friends.”
It added: “Angel of God, my guardian dear, To whom God’s love commits me here, Ever this day, be at my side, To light and guard, Rule and guide. Amen.”
Funeral details for the young girl will be confirmed at a later date and the wake has not yet commenced.
Heartbreaking tributes have poured in for Imogen, with mourners taking to social media to remember the “beautiful wee soul”.
One person said: “What a beautiful girl and such a loss for her family.”
Another said: “So sorry for your loss Pauline, husband and boys. A beautiful girl. Forever young.”
A third added: “Absolutely heartbreaking news. A beautiful young lady. Pauline I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all at this sad time.”
‘EVERY PARENT’S NIGHTMARE’
Castledawson councillor Denise Johnston said the tragedy was “a shock” to the community.
She told the Belfast Telegraph: “She was such a bright, intelligent young girl, who had so much to live for.
“For her parents, they will be living every parent’s nightmare, losing their only daughter.
“No-one can quite believe such a beautiful young life has been lost in such tragic circumstances.”
A spokesperson for the PSNI said: “Police responded to a report in relation to a female in the water in the Castledawson area.
“Officers attended the scene, together with colleagues from other emergency services, where the female was rescued from the water.
“Sadly she later died in hospital. The death is not being treated as suspicious at this time.”
