‘Where’s Waldo’ Lovers, Eat Your Heart Out: Can You Find the Odd One Out in These Challenging Puzzles?

The Epoch Times

If you were born around 1990, or slightly earlier, you may recall “Where’s Waldo?” books, which enticed us for hours to pore over pages, illustrated in fine detail, in search of one little man who dressed a little differently from everyone else. In a sea of tiny people, finding Waldo was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But for some funny reason, it was fun.

These days we have the internet equivalent of “Where’s Waldo?” with brainteasers like this one! If your eyes were sharp enough to pick out a tiny guy in a toque and striped shirt, see how well you fare finding the odd one out in the illustrations below.

But, in order to make it more interesting, try putting 20 seconds on the clock and timing yourself. For each of the three examples of this test, find the one word or letter that isn’t like the others. It may seem like an easy task, but it’s tougher than you think—especially when you’re on the clock. So set your stopwatch and give it a whirl—can you find the spelling mistake in time?

Phew! That was tough; did you find the hidden letter?

Just like “Where’s Waldo?” these kinds of brain puzzles are oddly satisfying somehow. Perhaps it’s the sense of accomplishment after finding the answer to what seems like a formidable challenge; after all, wouldn’t life lose its interest if everything came easily, without an obstacle to overcome?

If weren’t able to find the odd ones out, that’s no problem; here are the solutions below:
