Only a genius can spot this gladiator's shiny sword in just seven seconds

Do you think you've got what it takes to find the gladiator's shiny sword in just a seven-second time limit ?

Completing puzzles every day is so important to keep your brain sharp, but some are more difficult than others. It may seem easy at first - of course, the sword is going to be in his hand - but when you realise it's not, where on earth could it possibly be?

Try to earn your place in legend by completing this Gladiator-themed optical illusion in seven seconds or less, but be warned, because only the noblest of puzzlers can complete the task and win. The image, courtesy of Bright Side, depicts a gladiator readying himself for a fight. He needs your help to prepare, though.

He's missing his sword and he needs it to face his opponent. Can you find it? You'll have to search the colosseum high and low to find it. If you do, the fighter is sure to thank you for the noble endeavour.

Luckily, if you're struggling but don't want to risk the gladiator's wrath, there's a hint you can use to locate the sword. The cunning but forgetful warrior has hidden the weapon on his person. So be sure to look closely at his armour when you're hunting.
