Do you think you have a sharp eye for detail? Spot-the-difference puzzles are a fantastic way to challenge your brain, improve concentration, and enhance visual perception. The image above is a classic example of this fun yet tricky game—two nearly identical pictures, with six hidden differences between them.
At first glance, they may look the same, but don’t be fooled! Only those with keen observation skills can spot all the differences. Are you up for the challenge? Take a close look, test your abilities, and see if you can identify all six!
Common Mistakes People Make When Solving Spot-the-Difference Puzzles
Before we dive into solving the puzzle, let’s discuss some of the most common mistakes people make when trying to find differences.
- Rushing Through the Image
- Many people scan too quickly and miss subtle changes. Instead of taking your time, they try to spot all the differences immediately, leading to errors.
- Focusing Only on the Obvious Areas
- It’s natural to look at major objects first, like the character’s outfit or facial expressions. However, smaller details—like background elements—often contain hidden changes.
- Overlooking Shadows and Colors
- Sometimes, the difference is as subtle as a slight variation in shading or color. Many players overlook these minor adjustments.
- Not Checking Both Images Simultaneously
- The best strategy is to compare both pictures side by side, scanning them systematically. Some people look at one image at a time, making it harder to detect changes.
- Losing Patience
- Finding the last one or two differences can be frustrating! Some people give up before they complete the puzzle, missing out on the satisfaction of solving it.
Did you make any of these mistakes? Don’t worry! Let’s go through the step-by-step solution together.

Step-by-Step Guide to Finding the Differences
If you haven’t found all six differences yet, take another careful look at the two images. If you’re ready to check your answers, here’s the full breakdown:
1. The Picture on the Wall
- The artwork hanging on the wall in the left image is slightly different from the one on the right. It’s a subtle but noticeable change once you focus on the details.
2. The Window Scene
- Look closely at the window in the background. In the right image, you can see a mysterious face appearing behind the glass—this face is absent in the left image.
3. The Woman’s Necklace
- One of the more obvious differences! In the left image, the woman is wearing a white pearl necklace, but in the right image, it is missing.
4. The Cleaning Product on the Floor
- A blue cleaning bottle is visible on the floor in the left image, but in the right image, it has mysteriously disappeared.
5. The Drain on the Floor
- The left image includes a small drain hole on the bathroom floor. If you check the right image, the drain is missing.
6. The Sticker on the Toilet
- Look at the toilet in both images. In the left image, there is a small yellow star sticker on the toilet. In the right image, the sticker is gone.

Donald Trump elected 47th US president
The Republican candidate has won at least 277 Electoral College votes, per The Associated Press.
Donald Trump has been elected to return to the White House as the 47th United States president.
The vote was called for the Republican candidate by The Associated Press news agency early on Wednesday. His victory has been met by international congratulations but is likely to add further uncertainty to a turbulent geopolitical situation.
Results showed Trump beating Vice President Kamala Harris in a race far less tight than expected as he triumphed in key battleground states.
Victory in Wisconsin after earlier triumphs in Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania saw the former president clear the threshold of the 270 Electoral College votes required to clinch the White House in Tuesday’s election.
Trump’s victory in those swing states currently sees him with 277 electoral votes against 224 for Harris. Polls had predicted a much tighter race, but it appears that anger fuelled the Republican’s remarkable comeback from defeat in 2020 and widespread condemnation of his refusal to accept the result.
That refusal sparked a violent insurrection at the US Capitol, and Trump was also convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.
However, his campaign, which has seen him demonise his political opponents, immigrants and many minorities, tapped into the frustrations of many voters in a bitterly polarised nation.
Speaking to his supporters as he declared victory, Trump claimed he had won “an unprecedented and powerful mandate”.
Anger and resentment
Scott Lucas, a professor of international politics at the University of Dublin, told Al Jazeera that Trump’s victory stemmed from frustrations that have been bubbling within the US public for years.
“There is anger and resentment in the US, which has been there for quite some time. It’s been a trauma since 9/11. It’s been there with the financial crash in 2008-2009. It was there in 2016 when Trump exploited it, and he exploited it again,” Lucas said, adding that Trump was able to do that because the “political system is damaged”.
Concern over the economy, and inflation in particular, under President Joe Biden was a major focus of the campaign.
That also encouraged opposition to the support Washington is giving to Ukraine in its war against Russia. Meanwhile, the failure to rein in Israel’s wars on Gaza and Lebanon has angered Muslim and liberal voters.
Those complex geopolitical issues will test Trump, who is known for his simplistic claims of being capable of quickly solving such issues.
He has promised to end the war in Ukraine in a day, an idea that has Kyiv wary that it could face pressure to strike a deal to hand over territory to Russia. NATO allies, meanwhile, fear Trump will weaken the alliance’s mutual defence guarantees.
Trump is also a strong supporter of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has boasted he will end the war with Hamas in Gaza in hours.
“Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory!” Netanyahu said in a statement after Trump declared victory.
The enthusiasm in Israel also stems from the incoming president’s hawkish approach to Iran, which he is likely to reassert.
China is also braced for a more confrontational relationship with the US under Trump, who is expected to revive staunchly nationalistic trade policies, putting both allies and rivals on edge.
‘Much more dangerous era’
However, at home, supporters will look to Trump to put the focus on the welfare of US citizens while following through on promises to enact an agenda that would transform nearly every aspect of American government.
That will include plans to launch the largest deportation effort in the nation’s history and use the Department of Justice to punish his enemies.
The result is that “we are going into a much more dangerous era for Americans and for the world because this will not be a coherent US policy for America but one pursued for Trump,” Lucas said.
