A good spot-the-difference puzzle does not need a crowded scene to be tricky. Sometimes the hardest challenge is hidden in a simple picture, where everything looks familiar enough for your brain to stop checking closely.
This visual puzzle shows two nearly identical study-room illustrations. In both images, a young student sits at a wooden desk, holding a bright green pencil while looking upward as if he is thinking through a school question. An open book is on the desk, and a small blue calculator sits nearby.
