I’m not a fan of these types of challenges… yet, I find myself drawn to them. There’s a part of me that thinks, ‘What if I’m drafted, I should know if I’m a sharpshooter’.
It’s a mystery why I feel this way, but I’m sure I’m not the only one!
A brainteaser has been circulating on Reddit, featuring an image of an industrial-sized coffee grinder filled with thousands of beans, and somewhere in the midst is a hidden stone. But can you find it?
If you can locate the small pebble within 10 seconds, you’ve got what they call ‘sniper vision’, as it’s cleverly concealed, making it a challenge for many to spot.
The image was shared in the subreddit ‘FindTheSniper’, where users post pictures of objects ‘camouflaged, hiding in plain sight’.
In response to the ‘Find the pebble in this coffee’ post, one user commented: “Oh hell no.”
Another user replied: “I’m with you. I’m not gonna destroy my brain looking for that.”
Meanwhile, a third person posted on the platform: “Some people just want to watch the world burn.”
However, it is indeed visible, arguably in ‘plain sight’. You might need to zoom in quite a bit to spot it, as I did after I learned the answer.
“Actually found it in less than 10 seconds! And I never find them, even the easier ones!” one person remarked.
Another user noted: “Left side. Follow where the beans are on the pole down just a little bit. There is something white that looks like a tooth.”
Someone else added: “Found it, left side. I have the hyper focus of a God.”
If you enjoyed this puzzle, there are more hidden objects waiting for you to discover.
A photographer recently captured an image of a concealed sniper, nearly invisible to the untrained eye.
Photographer Simon Menner has showcased such examples in his ‘Camouflage’ series, which involves photographing various environments with one common element: a hidden sniper in each image.
So, the challenge is, can you spot the sniper in the picture?
Menner explained on his website: “Even though they are invisible due to their professionalism, there are hidden snipers in every one of these images. They are aiming at the camera and therefore at the viewer.”
Menner was able to capture these photos with assistance from the German, Lithuanian, and Latvian Armies, who provided ‘generous access to their snipers’ for his photography project.
Happy searching!
