Tricky brainteaser challenges you to guess the correct number of mugs in this picture - but can YOU beat the record time?

Finding the perfect mug for your hot drink can be tricky - and this mind-brewing puzzle is just the same. 

A new brainteaser is challenging viewers to see how quickly they can count all the coffee mugs in a picture - but do you possess the skill to beat the record time? 

A spokesperson from Furniture At Work said such brainteasers are an excellent way to take time out during the day and keep your mind stimulated.

Speaking to The Scottish Sun, they said: 'Taking a break from your working day is incredibly important for wellbeing, and we wanted to provide something to make that all-important tea or coffee break a little more interesting and exciting.

'To make it even more fun, we wanted to lay down a challenge to try and beat our record times.'

The picture in question shows many vessels perfect for holding an early morning cup of coffee or tea, and the challenge is to count how many you can see. 

The average time to find all the mugs and crack the puzzle is 2 minutes and 47 seconds. 

However, you'd need to have laser eyes and unparalleled analytical skills to beat the record of 1 minute and 54 seconds. 

In the busy image, an assortment of mugs are spread out and clustered on top of one another.

Each feature a unique pattern, designed with flowers, spirals, hearts, spots and stripes in a variety of dark brown, green and white colours. 

However, a layer of difficulty is added to the brainteaser, as each mug is the same light brown shade, with only a number of handles painted in differing shades of white, dark brown. 

Have you managed to guess the correct number of mugs in the puzzle? If so - well done, your analytical skills are unmatched - now, go ahead and brew yourself a cup of coffee or tea to celebrate your sharp eye.

However, if you're still struggling to conclude how many there are, don't worry, as we reveal the answer below. 

The answer to the mind-bending puzzle is 57 mugs. If you were close, give yourself a pat on the back, as this was an especially difficult one to solve!
