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!!

Where exactly is it?

Barmcakebessie · 15/07/2016 13:02

I do love a challenge but ended up googling...Of course that's where it is!

BurningBright · 15/07/2016 13:02

About ten seconds.

DailyMailAreMassiveCunts · 15/07/2016 13:04

About one minute, if that

diddl · 15/07/2016 13:04

Straight away!

FinderofNeedles · 15/07/2016 13:06

Took me longer than expected. I turned the photo upside down - then it jumped out at me.

BastardGoDarkly · 15/07/2016 13:07

I've only just seen it after pp said it was face down! I hate these things

CocktailQueen · 15/07/2016 13:11

I can't se it!! The table only has two legs; there is no rear left leg.

Where is it, pleaaaaseee?

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 15/07/2016 13:12

If it's got a black cover with 3 flowers on it, about one minute.

If not, it could take me a lot longer...

blindsider · 15/07/2016 13:17

Beside the right hand leg

diddl · 15/07/2016 13:20

It doesn't match the rest of the rug!

blinkowl · 15/07/2016 13:32

I saw it in a few minutes.

I had a feeling it was in that general area, but still couldn't see it for quite a while.

Donatellalymanmoss · 15/07/2016 13:32

Fairly quickly but live in an old house with the previous owner's interesting carpets so this kind of challenge is a daily occurrence for me!!

Fomalhaut · 15/07/2016 13:36

A few seconds. I'm pretty good with pattern recognition

RaspberryOverload · 15/07/2016 13:44

I couldn't see it initially, but my colleague spotted it straight away

SJL2311 · 15/07/2016 13:46

Well that's 10 minutes of my life I'm not getting back!
Even when you see it.... it still doesn't look like a phone. Normally when you work out an optical illusion you go "wow how could I have missed that". But not this - it just looks as though the pattern of the carpet has been altered slightly.

PhilPhilConnors · 15/07/2016 13:47

I saw it straight away.
I also found the badger in the picture of zebras straight away.
Also autistic.
However, Where's Wally can be frustrating.

PhilPhilConnors · 15/07/2016 13:49

Badger/zebra thing

PaulDacresMicroPenis · 15/07/2016 13:51

About 5 seconds, it obv had to be somewhere with straight lines so i immediately checked the border.

BirdyBedtime · 15/07/2016 13:53

I couldn't see it at all so googled - and then it's so obvious

HerRoyalFattyness · 15/07/2016 13:56

Almost immediately.
phil I also found the badger straight off.

MyBootsAreMuddy · 15/07/2016 14:12

Straight away. I'm a bugger for patterns and my eyes were drawn to the bit that looked wrong instantly.

We have a highly patterned and colourful rug at home and I can find the smallest piece of Lego on it within seconds when everyone else has been looking for hours. Sometimes I spot bits that nobody knew were even missing, my eyes just seem to be immediately drawn to the slightest break or change in pattern/colour.

TheDonOfDons · 15/07/2016 16:29

I can't see the badger, took me about 3 days to find the phone!

feckity · 15/07/2016 16:43

How about the colour sensitivity test? I'm a hawk apparently Grin

Pastamancer · 15/07/2016 17:10

I'm a robot on that colour one Confused I managed to do 31 in the time and no errors
