So, why do some people find this challenge harder than others?

In a discussion with News.com.au, Associate Professor Paul E. Dux, from the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland, explained: "Some have better 'spatial attention' than others."

He clarified that visual-spatial attention helps direct focus to specific areas in a space, which can vary from person to person.

Professor Dux also noted: "The other reason is that people sometimes just get lucky, and the eyes fall on the target immediately,"

Meanwhile, Professor Barton Anderson, from the University of Sydney, shared his advice with News.com.au, suggesting that those struggling to find the panda should "view the image from a distance, or blur their eyes by squinting."
