Only people with 'high IQ' can find brainteaser's hidden error within five seconds

This tricky brainteaser shows something not quite right in an image that depicts an ordinary scene at home.

In an image shared by Jagran Josh, a man is relaxing in his living room with his two cats who mill about the room as he watches TV. Nothing looks unusual at first glance, so you'll have to focus.

Keen-eyed viewers will be able to spot one missing thing that makes the image not quite right. As reported by the Mirror, anyone who can solve the brainteaser in five seconds or less is said to be of high intelligence.

So take a look - what is one crucial thing that's missing? There's the man lounging on the sofa with the glow of fairy lights above him, one orange cat to the left, and a white cat to the right.

Did you figure it out in five seconds? Even if you couldn't in that time crunch, it's good to give your brain a challenge. If you want a hint, pay attention to the bottom half of the image.

We'll reveal the answer below, but take this as an official spoiler warning.

Did you notice that the coffee table doesn't have four legs? If you didn't spot it at first, it seems a glaring mistake once you notice it. Our eyes can play tricks on us as a way to fill in the gaps and make sense of what we're seeing. Without all four legs, you can bet that table - and the mug and cat leaning on it - would go sideways.
