**Model Mayhem**, also known as *Double Take* in the 2012 Special, is a challenge of visual intelligence on *Canada's Smartest Person*.

## Description

*Retrieved from CBC.ca*

Competitors watch a model do a catwalk, and need to pay very close attention to her outfit. Their task is to recall all of the details of the wardrobe and accessories she is wearing, and dress another model in exactly same way.

Just as in everyday life where visual details are often dynamic and in motion, the motion of the model’s walk adds to the difficulty of remembering her outfit. The test is also designed so that the many stripes, patterns and dots on the outfit provide visual distraction, which makes is harder to remember recall visual details.
