Because I stared at the pic for 10 minutes, gave up, Googled the answer and now I don't know how I could have been so blind!!

Not long after I'd scrolled down the thread and realised it was a face down flowery cover - with that info it was easy to find!

Just tested DH with it - he "found" it because he saw a corner, but he still couldn't see the phone! I had to physically point it out to him (all of it) before he could see it. But he knew where the corner was.

About a minute.

SoupDragon · 15/07/2016 09:27

The camera part is really obvious and gives it away.

feckity · 15/07/2016 10:46

About 15 seconds. I wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't looking for it, iyswim, but once you're looking for something that's not the carpet it's fairly obvious, I would have thought.

Sirona · 15/07/2016 10:54

Matter of seconds once I knew the cover wasn't plain. Probably would never have got it otherwise.

NoCapes · 15/07/2016 10:55

She definitely didn't drop that

feckity · 15/07/2016 10:58

I want to know what she took the picture with if that was her phone on the floor. The picture was in her mobile uploads folder on her fb page...

Hmm Grin

Less than a minute. I play lots of hidden object games though, so am used to looking for stuff like that.

Oldisthenewblack · 15/07/2016 11:26

I saw it only because of the camera bit that was visible - if it wasn't for that - no chance!

HelloSunshine11 · 15/07/2016 11:26

About 25 seconds. Scanned the rug in sections rather than just staring at the photo.

SabineUndine · 15/07/2016 11:30

A minute but I enlarged the pic

OurBlanche · 15/07/2016 11:34

A minute or so... once you work out which bits have a similar shape to a phone you can narrow down your search... and once you spot it the slight misalignment becomes really obvious and the camera bit becomes far less flower like Smile

blindsider · 15/07/2016 12:22

Eh? It is easy to find as the phone has a different patterned case to the rug - about 15 seconds.

EarthboundMisfit · 15/07/2016 12:22

Had to Google the answer.

flanjabelle · 15/07/2016 12:26

I saw it within a minute. I wonder why some people do and some people don't.

Pastamancer · 15/07/2016 12:29

A couple of seconds, it is wonky so stands out hugely

Gatekeeper · 15/07/2016 12:31

Buggered if I can see it

Happyhippy45 · 15/07/2016 12:35

Didn't take long. It's not lined up properly. I have a need for things to be lined up properly. In fact I have a strong desire to straighten the bloody thing up!

Headofthehive55 · 15/07/2016 12:41

10 seconds?

Headofthehive55 · 15/07/2016 12:42

beauty I have children. I am used to looking for stuff too.

AristotlesTrousers · 15/07/2016 12:49

I couldn't even make it out when I googled the solution. Blush

AristotlesTrousers · 15/07/2016 12:50

And I'm a 'Where's Wally' expert too!

JennyOnAPlate · 15/07/2016 12:55

I zoomed in and found it really quickly

SurelyYoureJokingMrFeynman · 15/07/2016 12:56

About 30 seconds. I am a proof reader tho.
