1. Let’s warm up with this problem:

Two hunters are chasing a deer, but they seem to have lost sight of it. Maybe the deer isn’t far away after all? Can you find it?

2.  The meeting

Two friends meet on the street. “Hey, Alice. Where are you going?” asked Jane. “I’m going to house number 23,” said Alice. “And where are you going, Jane?” “I’m visiting Sarah, she lives in house number 7,” replied Jane. Try to answer the following questions: 1. Who is Jane and who is Alice? 2. Where is the girl with the backpack going?

3. Which girl is the owner of the cat?

There are 3 girls in the picture: Helen, Maria and Irene. All the girls have played with the cat. But which one of them is its owner?

4. Children on a picnic

There are 5 children. One of them is Mike and he is first in line. If Olivia was walking near Max, Alex would be shoulder to shoulder with his namesake. The question is, who has what name?

5. The elderly women with water jugs

Two old ladies have come to the river to get water for their gardens. Which one of them will pour more water?

6. In which direction is the train moving?

You see the railway section of the Paris-Frankfurt line. The direction of the railway line corresponds to the direction of the arrow above which points both west and east. Look at the picture and answer the following:

1. Where is the train going: from Paris to Frankfurt or vice versa?

2. What is the girl’s profession?

7. This task is even more complicated. Find all the mistakes in the picture below. There are 16 of them.

Pay attention to the details!

8. Life in the post-apocalyptic world

Look at this picture and answer the following questions:

1. How many people live in the camp?

2. How long have they lived in this place?

3. How deep is the river?

4. There are 4 men in the picture. What is each of them doing?

5. Who else survived the apocalypse?

6. Is the front of the boat pointing upstream or downstream?

9. Father and son

Look at the image above and answer the questions.

1. What is the father’s profession?

2. Are there more children in this family?

3. What year is it in the situation depicted?

10. Now it’s time for the most difficult task: Find all 8 differences between the two images:

The answers:

1. The failed hunters

2. The meeting

1. Alice is the girl on the other side. Why? Notice the house number behind her. It’s 19. Odd numbers tend to increase to the right. The girl with the backpack is walking to the right, toward the houses with higher numbers. 23 is a larger number than 19, so it’s Alice.

2. Alice is taking her acting classes. Where else would one need a violin, a sword, and a scepter at the same time?

3. The Cat

The cat’s owner is the girl whose tights are torn in the front. The girl on the right, who has a tear in the back of her tights, probably got it, for example, while sitting on a chair. The cat could also do it, but that’s less likely than the first case.

4. Children on a walk

From left to right: Mike, Max, Alex, Olivia and Alex.

5. The old ladies with jugs

The watering can of the lady on the left is larger. But the spouts of both watering cans are at the same level. According to the physical law of connected vessels, the water level cannot be higher than the spout. So the old ladies will bring the same amount of water to their gardens.

6. Paris-Frankfurt train

1. The snow has not melted yet and is mostly on the northern slope. This means that the train is moving from West to East or from Paris to Frankfurt.

2. The girl is holding a sledgehammer, and next to her is a dog. It is probably a shepherd.

7. The picture with the farm

1. There is no house number 0.

2. The wind blows in different directions: the smoke from the chimney goes one way, while the trees bend in the other.

3. The season cannot be determined. There are trees with leaves, and there are trees without leaves.

4. The horse has a saddle, but no harness.

5. The horse plows in the direction of the plowed land.

6. The horse plows alone. There is no farmer to hold the plow.

7. The house has stairs, but no door.

8. The curtains are on the outside of the windows.

9. The pine tree has a branch from another tree.

10. The girl’s shadow points in one direction, and the dog’s shadow points in another.

11. The shadow of the house has neither a roof nor a chimney.

12. The gate has 5 vertical planks, but its shadow has only 4.

13. The hay cart in the background is taller than the woman.

14. Stars are visible in the middle of the day.

15. One of the sheep is missing a leg.

16. The leaves on the birch tree do not look like birch leaves, but rather juniper leaves.

8. Post-apocalypse

1. If you look at the list on the tree, you will see that there are 6 people.

2. A spider has spun a web near the tent. This means that they have been there for at least a few days.

3. The man in the boat is measuring the depth with a pole. This means that the river is not very deep.

4. 2 men are having lunch, the third is measuring the depth of the river, and the fourth is fishing.

5. At least the snail, the spider, and the birds survived.

6. Judging by the way the water ripples around the front of the boat, it is looking upstream.

9. Father and son

1. We see DJ equipment in the corner of the room and the father has a more casual and artistic look. This suggests that his profession is DJ.

2. There is a swing in the room and the toys are scattered around the sofa and do not look like boys’ toys. This means that the family has a small baby and a girl aged 5-7.

3. There is a brand new spinner in a box lying on the table. Spinners were a hit in 2017.

10. The hen and the spider

We hope you guessed that the number of differences is the same as the number of legs on a spider.
