Many people like to make sure their Christmas dinner tables are beautifully decorated and well organised - but in this chaotic scene there's a hidden pudding waiting to be found.

You don't have to be a fan of the iconic Christmas pudding to reap the benefits from this brain teaser. Completing puzzles, optical illusions and brain teasers regularly can help improve your cognitive abilities, boost your memory and problem-solving skills - and some claim it can even help hard off dementia.

So even if you don't like the humble festive dessert, which is made with suet, flour and a mix of dried fruit, you have no excuse not to give this one a go. The task is simple - find the hidden Christmas pudding hiding on the chaotic dinner table.

The dessert is hiding in plain sight - but as brain teasers are designed to trick and distract our minds from the thing we're trying to find, it's not so easy. In fact, it takes the average person around 28 seconds to find the pudding in this festive brain teaser, which was created by the UK's biggest bingo site tombola.

How long will it take you to find? Only one in three people are able to find it in less than five seconds, so if you can beat that record you definitely have bragging rights among your friends. So set the timer, and have a go.

Did you manage to find it? If that missing little pudding has baffled you, don't worry, as we've posted the answer below.

Here it is! (tombola)

There are plenty of other puzzles that can help train your brain to become quicker at these sorts of challenges. For example, there's a soap hidden among these toy ducks - but we can't guarantee it'll be any easier to find them than the Christmas pudding.

If you want to stay on the festive theme, you can try to find the hidden Christmas tree in this enchanting patterned wallpaper. Because the Christmas tree is the same colour as the rest of the image, it becomes even tricker.

Meanwhile, apparently only 25% of people can spot the hidden word in this mind-boggling sea of other words. Another tricky autumnal brain teaser challenges you to find four animals that are hiding among the leaves. As they are all similar colours, it's quite hard.
