Lies, whether big or small, can influence our lives in many ways.
As experts suggest, there are many ways to spot lies and we can all learn to recognize the signs and expressions that suggest a person is lying.
In today’s challenge, we will test your ability to spot a liar while putting your eyes to the test. Take a closer look at the image above and see if you can figure out which of the two women is lying.
As the story behind the picture puzzle goes, only one of the women is telling the truth whereas the other one is lying. Keep in mind that there is no certain answer as to which woman is lying, but some of the details in the picture make it almost unquestionable who the liar is.

Before we reveal the answer, here are a few fun facts about lying and liars!
The majority of people have lied at some point in their lives. In fact, 96% of individuals have admitted doing so in a 2004 poll by Reader’s Digest.
While most lies are small and innocent, some can be pretty serious and may have a big impact on the lives of people around us.
Though lying can sometimes go undetected, experts suggest there are several signs to pay attention to if you wish to spot a liar.
One of the most common red flags that a person is lying is when they provide little information and prolong the conversation by repeating the question. They may also speak in incomplete sentences and stumble when confronted about the truth.
Liars may also react aggressively and raise their tone of voice when their story is challenged. They often also attempt to cover their face, especially their mouth or eyes, or play with their hair while lying.
Another sign you should pay attention to, especially if you wish to crack this puzzle, is the words that people use.
Some of the most common phrases used by liars include “honestly,” “I never or I always,” and “to tell you the truth.” While these phrases are a good indication that a person might be lying, however, one cannot be sure based on words alone.
With all that being said, here is the answer to the puzzle. It is definitely more likely that the woman on the right is lying. She is defensively pointing her index finger while insisting she would ‘never’ eat the cake.
