Puzzle lovers have been left bamboozled by a rubber duck brainteaser that challenges you to find the lone bar of soap - and it's much trickier than the relaxing image might suggest.

The puzzle in question shows a little pool of cute rubber ducks, bobbing about in a non-uniform fashion. There's also a bar of soap hidden among the ducks, and if you spot it in 21 seconds or less, you may well be a genius, according to JagranJosh.

Perhaps the best way to approach this head-scratcher, which was shared by Bright Side, would be to divide the picture into sections, combing through each part to spot the soap.

Ready? Have a scan of the image below, and time yourself if you're feeling competitive.

This sort of brainteaser requires you to put your powers of observation and problem-solving to the test, and will especially appeal to those with a keen mind for logic.

Don't worry if you didn't manage to crack it in 21 seconds - it takes time and effort to become a top puzzler after all, and the more you do, the better you'll ultimately become.

Have another go if you've not quite solved it yet, and when you're ready, check out the answer below:

Did you manage to figure it out? Don't feel disheartened if not. This one is particularly tricky given that the soap is the exact same shade of yellow as the ducks, and you may well have initially assumed it was just another upturned duck.

If you fancy trying another puzzle to get some more practice in, then take a look at this lively woodland carnival scene - with one carrot hidden amid the chaos.

Just like the rubber duck brainteaser, this one really tests your observational skills, and only those with the sharpest eyes will clock the solitary carrot in five seconds or under. Have a go for yourself here.
