Can you find the shapes in these jumbled up numbers?

Just when we thought we'd seen all the mind-boggling puzzles possible this festive season, another amazing brainteaser has hit the internet.

This one isn't your average tricky puzzle though, as according to Playbuzz only one in 2000 people can get it right.

The brainteaser gives you nine separate puzzles to solve and each one asks you to find the hidden shape or letters the number 2's form in each.

"Have you heard of Synesthesia? It's a phenomenon of a sensory interplay when a person has a rare ability to "smell shapes", "hear letters", see numbers as colors and more. This sample test can determine whether you have this special skill," Playbuzz states at the start of the puzzle.

While it may seem like an easy task, the number 2's are actually hidden in amongst a heap of number 5's, making it pretty difficult to work out the shapes.

Take a look below to see if you can solve them all.
