How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?
Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
Some benefits include:
Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.
Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a great workout and may “boost your brain’s activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia.”

WHETHER you are looking to enjoy a quiet afternoon in your garden, or entertain guests without prying eyes from the neighbours, a privacy fence offers the perfect solution.
According to market research and home improvement trends, the demand for garden fencing, including privacy fences, has been on the rise.
A homeowner has expressed her love for her garden but there was one thing she struggled withTiktok/@ahomefitforkingsShe hated how her neighbours could peer into her gardenTiktok/@ahomefitforkings
Experts believe it’s down to more people spending time at home due to the cost of living crisis.
And also they are becoming more aware that a well-maintained garden, with privacy, can enhance the aesthetic appeal and value of their properties.
And not to mention nosy neighbours being a big reason as to why many want one.
But for a typical UK garden requiring around 10-15 panels, they don’t come cheap.
The total cost for a wooden privacy fence, including installation, might range from £500 to £1,500.
For higher-end materials like composite or metal, the total cost could range from £1,200 to £3,000 or more.
But one homeowner discovered a savvy hack to help block out her peering neighbours without having to put up a privacy fence.
The woman, who is known as @ahomefitforkings on TikTok, explained how she “loved” her garden “but hated being overlooked at the end of the garden.”
Sharing a video on her TikTok account, she filmed what she could see when she looked out of her kitchen window – and it was a direct view of the house opposite and their back window.
So instead of investing into a privacy fence, she got privacy trees instead.
The homeowner invested into pleached hornbeams and they “create the perfect screen.”
She explained further in her video caption: “The difference these pleached Hornbeams have made to the end of the garden is amazing.
“I hated looking out of the window and seeing that house behind us.
“We bought mature trees which was a more expensive option, but we wanted coverage asap.”
I so wished we had put some of these in instead of red Robin for privacy
TikTok comment
She then went to ask her followers what they thought, and if they were a fan of the trees.
The video got over 32,000 views with many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One said: “They look beautiful. How long did they take to grow?”
The homeowner replied: “I think they’re a few years old, we bought them mature.”
But instead of investing into a taller fence, she decided to do something differentTiktok/@ahomefitforkingsThe homeowner invested into Pleached Hornbeams which look ‘beautiful’Tiktok/@ahomefitforkings
Another added: “I so wished we had put some of these in instead of red Robin for privacy.
“They look beautiful.”
A third wrote: “Your garden is so beautiful and those trees are a fabulous idea.”
Whilst someone else said: “Excellent! “That would drive me potty too!”
What are your rights over a fence row?
IT'S very important to know your rights if you are embroiled in a fence row with a neighbour.
How do I know which side I own?
A boundary feature can be a fence, wall, hedge, ditch, piece of wire, or sometimes even just the edge of a driveway.
The only way to know for certain who owns what side and to avoid any neighbour disputes, is to refer to the title plan or Land Registry.
In this, the T mark is used to indicate who the boundary belongs to and therefore who is responsible for its upkeep, say pros at Jacksons Fencing.
Larger developments tend to have some indication provided by the builder, but there are no hard and fast rules
People often think they are responsible for the left (or right) hand boundary wherever they live, but there isn’t any legal basis for this.
You can check with HM Land Registry to see which boundary feature you are responsible for.
Often households can’t get hold of the paperwork but experts say they shouldn’t panic.
Homeowners can guess who owns the fence by checking where the rails are.
Pros say: “The fence is typically facing away from their property so that their neighbour gets the ‘good’ side.
“This is the most secure way of facing fencing so there are no rails for anyone to use to climb into your garden.
“This is then repeated with the neighbour on the other side to ensure that each home has both a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fence side.”
Walls and fences are often built on the land of the boundary’s owner with the edge of the wall marking the limit.
While professionals agree a glimpse at the fence can give you a hint, it’s not foolproof – so you can’t be certain.
Fines and punishment
It is recommended to always check legal documents before making changes to avoid hefty fines.
There is no law that the neighbour has to get the good side of the fence, so it’s completely up to whoever owns the fence.
Fencing pros have suggested: “It may be worth selecting a double-sided panel with no ‘bad’ side as both sides look the same and rails are concealed within the fence panel.”
If one boundary backs onto a road or footpath you can install the panels with the rails on the inside
But if it’s installed on the outside, it can provide an “easy ladder for burglars to enter your garden”.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Property Litigation Association have created a mediation service to help neighbours resolve disputes over their property boundaries without resorting to court action.
RICS also provides a list of surveyors who could assist in boundary disputes.
If a dispute continues, it is ultimately a court that makes decisions, but they do not like such disputes being put before them.
Changing a boundary
If you want to change an existing boundary, such as replacing an old fence with a new one, we always recommend discussing with your neighbour first and making sure it is all agreed.
The registered titles can help you to reach an agreement, but only if this information has been added.
In terms of decorations on a fence legal advisers recommended asking around over who actually first installed it.
But they also urged caution before getting to work on amending the fence without getting more certainty yourself – since there is a danger of actually being prosecuted for criminal damage.
How high can a garden fence be?
The height of the fence is measured from your ground level, this can have an impact when, due to slopes in the ground, your garden may be at a higher level than your neighbours‘.
A garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission if it’s over than 2m.
However, there are some complications to this.
If you are thinking about front garden fences, restrictions state that fences alongside a driveway can be a maximum of 1m or 3ft.
You would need to get planning permission for putting a trellis on a fence of 2m.
But, if any plant that you grow on that trellis exceeds 2m, you do not need to obtain a permit for the growing plant.
2 hours agoWorld LeaksComments Off on Full list of reasons your Universal Credit payments could be cut – and how to avoid it
HOUSEHOLDS should be aware of all the reasons why their Universal Credit payments could be cut.
Universal Credit is a government benefit which you can claim if you are out of work or on a low income.
We explain all the reasons your Universal Credit could be cutAlamy
It is paid monthly – or twice a month, for some people living in Scotland – and how much you receive depends on your circumstances.
For example, if you are single and under 25, the maximum amount you can get is £311.68. But this increases to £393.45 when you turn 25.
If you live with your partner and you’re both under 25, you will receive £489.23 in total, but this increases to £617.6 when you are aged 25 and over.
If you claim the benefit, then it is worth keeping in mind that your payments can be cut – for example, you start earning more money or you fail to pay child maintenance.
We have compiled the full list of reasons why your Universal Credit could be cut, which you can check below.
You’ve been overpaid
You can sometimes be overpaid in benefits if the office made a mistake or you did not know you had to tell them about a change in circumstances.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) can look to get this money back through dedecuting the sum from your monthly benefit payment.
If you have been told that you were overpaid a benefit but you are not sure wether this is correct you should contact your local citizens advice office.
You can find your nearest by visiting the Citizens Advice website.
If you have been accused of benefit fraud you can also ask an adviser at the organisation for guidance.
The Sun recently revealed that a number of people had been asked to pay back overpayments for benefits by mistake, when they did not actually owe the money.
So, it’s worth double checking or asking for a review if you are not sure.
You are paying back an advance on a Universal Credit payment
Money can be taken from your benefits payment if you have got an advance in the past.
You can ask for an advance on your Universal Credit payment if you are waiting for your first payment to come in or you expect your Universal Credit payments to increase.
The DWP will deduct these payments from your advance until you have fully paid it back.
You do not have to pay interest on the advance.
You have more than £6,000 in savings and investments
If you have over £6,000 in savings and investments, your payment will be reduced by £4.35 for every £250 you have between £6,000 and £16,000.
Another £4.35 is taken off for any remaining amount that is not a complete £250.
What to do if your payment has been deducted
By Samuel Thomas senior policy adviser at Z2K
IF YOUR universal credit payments have been reduced, you should check your monthly statement to find out why.
Where the deductions are causing you financial hardship, you can ask the Department for Work and Pensions to reduce the level of deductions.
If the deduction is to repay a debt to the DWP, you might be able to dispute the debt or ask for it to be written off.”
Benefit deductions can push people into destitution. We want to see the government introduce a minimum floor below which no universal credit payments can fall.
You’ll usually no longer be able to get Universal Credit if you have more than £16,000 in cash spare.
If you have more than £16,000, you might be still be able to claim if you if you got tax credits and you had a letter from the DWP telling you to claim Universal Credit instead.
This is known as managed migration.
You can read more about the whether or not this impacts you here.
You owe money for Council Tax, court fines, electricity, gas, water or Child Maintenance
Organisations you owe money to can ask the DWP to deduct money from your benefits to pay back the debt.
A fixed amount is deducted from your benefits until you’ve paid off the debt you owe. Money can be deducted to pay off up to three debts at once.
You will be told how much money is being decuted by letter or in your Universal Credit journal.
You have a paid job
The DWP will deduct money from your benefits if you start working.
For every £1 you earn from working, your Universal Credit payment goes down by 55p.
However, you can earn a certain amount before your payments are stopped if you or your partner are looking after a child or either of your have a disability.
If you get help with housing costs, your payment will start to reduce when your monthly wages reach £404.
If you do not get help with housing costs, your payment will start to reduce when your monthly wages reach £673.
You would get above the benefit cap
The benefit cap is the total amount of benefits a household can receive.
It applies to people aged 16 and above who are not yet of State Pension age.
If you’re in a couple the cap is set at £1,835 a month or £423.46 a week.
If you are single the cap is set at £1,299.42 a month or £283.71 a week.
If you receive more than the benefit cap than payments are dedecuted from your Universal Credit and Houseing Benefit payments.
You should contact the DWP if you are impacted by the cap, and also reach out to your local council to see if they can offer extra assistance.
What to do if your payment has been deducted?
You can dispute dedecutions from your Universal Credit payments. This is know as mandatory reconsideration.
You can ask for mandatory reconsideration if any of the following apply:
You think the office dealing with your claim has made an error or missed important evidence
You disagree with the reasons for the decision
You want to have the decision looked at again
It is free to do this, but you usually need to ask for the reconsideration within one month of the date of the decision.
You can ask for it after one month if you have a good reason, for example if you’ve been in hospital or had a recent bereavement.
It always worth using a benefits calucator if you predict your circumstances will change.
This will allow you to budget for the future and also give you a heads up on wether or not you should speak to your council to ask for advice.
There are a number of benefit calcutors online on charity websites such as Turn2us, Policy in Practice and Entitledto.
You can also visit your local Citzens Advice for any questions about how much you benefits you are owed.
