_ Feeling lucky? Brainteaser challenges YOU to spot a four-leaf clover among the pile of cards in just one minute
A deck of cards includes four suits, but a new brainteaser has added a fifth to trick the mind.
Among the pile of cards in the image is one featuring a four-leaf clover that may appear to blend in with the spades.

The cards originated in the southern Netherlands and feature four suits, each consisting of a king, queen, jack and ten numeral or pip cards.
The suits are not the familiar spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts but are based on equipment associated with the hunt — horns, dog collars, hound tethers and game nooses. The value is indicated by appropriate repetitions of the symbol.
The figures are thought to be based on Burgundian court costume, dating the cards to before 1480.
In 1983, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York bought the set for $143,000 from a wily Dutch antiques dealer who'd purchased it for $2,800 a few years earlier at auction, having noticed that they were much older than their listed 16th-century date.
The precise game being played with the cards is unknown. It may have been Gleek, a three-player trick-taking game, with elaborate rules, popular throughout the 16th century.
The game used a regular deck with the 2s and 3s removed, so there were 44 cards.
