Only true smarts will be able to pass the dolphin test for attentiveness, counting all the hidden individuals.

We all know that movement is beneficial. Not for nothing, many people use every opportunity to see at least 10,000 steps on the screen of a fantasy tracker.

And we suggest you count how many dolphins are hidden in our drawing.
