A man has taken to social media to share the puzzling brainteaser his nephew struggled to complete – and after looking at it, he came to realise why he couldn’t figure it out
Adults have been left scratching their heads over a brainteaser aimed at children – with many arguing they were set up to fail.
A man explained how his nephew came to him for help spotting six differences in a fishing-inspired brainteaser after struggling to find even one.
But after looking at the two images side-by-side for several minutes, he was as perplexed as his young nephew. Taking to Reddit to share his frustration, he shared the images in the r/mindlyinfuriating thread to double-check his eyes were not playing tricks on him.
In response, one user said: “Looks like they printed the same pic twice, dunnit?” Another user added: “Well if you look in the… I got nothing.” A third user said: “There are some differences in line thickness between the two images but they definitely did something wrong. Or good if their aim was to keep a child busy for an indefinite amount of time.”
After overlaying one image on top of the other, one Reddit user confirmed they’re identical, meaning a mistake was made when creating the brainteaser.
Joking around, another user claimed to have spotted all six differences almost instantly, saying: “1. The top picture is offset 8 from the left and the bottom picture is offset 8 from the right. 2. The top picture is offset 15 from the top and the bottom picture is offset only 11 from the bottom.
“3. The entire left side of the bottom picture is adjacent to the crossword puzzle while only a fraction of the bottom side of the top picture is adjacent to the crossword puzzle. 4. The top picture is next to a blank space on it’s right side, while the bottom picture has a crossword puzzle to the left of it.
“5. The top line of the bottom picture appears to be .01 higher than the top line of the crossword puzzle. 6. In the bottom picture there are actually four birds, but one is behind the boy’s head! I don’t blame you for missing that one.”
So did you manage to find all six? Let us know in the comments section below…
