Difficult Spot-the-Difference Quiz
Spot-the-difference puzzles, where you compare two pictures to find the differences, can have their difficulty adjusted by how subtle the differences are.
If you place large, easy-to-find discrepancies, people tend to look for differences of that size and their attention drifts away from finer details.
Knowing that there are tiny differences prompts you to carefully check every part of the image, which also sharpens your focus.
The key is to proceed while considering various possibilities for differences—like changes in number or patterns, as well as size or length.
