Can you spot the 10 horses trying to sneak into Royal Ascot in under 30 seconds?
The Royal Ascot kicks off tomorrow (June 17). The world famous horse racing festival starts on Tuesday, June 17, and runs until Saturday, June 21, and will draw viewers and gamblers from across the globe. Thousands of fans will also make their way to Ascot each day for flat racing's summer showpiece, and they are expected to be joined by King Charles and Queen Camilla, who have several horses competing throughout the week. The Gee-Gees and their jockeys will be competing for more than £10million in prize money during the five-day spectacle, so it's not surprising The Royal Ascot has attracted the leading competitors from all across the planet. And Mecca Games have created a fun brainteaser that challenges you to find 10 horses who are trying to sneak into the event in a bid to get their hands on a share of the spoils. However, there is something about each one of the animals that makes them stand out from the crowd. From the fabulous hats that have long been associated with Ascot to unique manes and tails, it is your job to act as security and pick out the rogue racehorses trying to disrupt proceedings. The image shows 30 horses in rows on a green field - but a third of them don't belong. Can you pick out the 10 imposters? And, to make it trickier, can you manage it in under 30 seconds? If you think you've got what it takes to keep the sneaky stallions out of Royal Ascot, scroll down and give it a go. How are you getting on? Some of them are fairly obvious, but picking out all 10 in half a minute can prove challenging. Have you got them all yet? Or are you giving up? Either way, scroll down below to find the solution. Some of the imposters would have jumped out right away, with the winged unicorn probably the easiest one to find. The dressed up gee-gees were also on the easier side, including one with a fetching pink sunhat, one carrying a handbag, one with a saddle, and another with clunky shoes instead of hooves. Others had stylised parts of their body, with one rocking a red mane, another with a purple tail, and a third with yellow hooves and eyes. Near the bottom, one horse was a slightly darker brown to most of the others in the image, and the tenth imposter had removed their tail entirely. Did you get all of them in 30 seconds? If so, congratulations! And if you want to try some more, then we've got you covered. Only 20 per cent of people can solve this Irish-themed puzzle in under a minute. And this testing teaser challenges you to work out which woman is the boy's real mum. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
