9 Out Of 10 People Couldn’t See The Error In This Picture! How About You?

We found another great puzzle for you to challenge your brain with today! In the image we’re about to show you, you will have 20 seconds to spot the mistake. Unfortunately, only 1 in 10 people will see the error and get the answer correct in such a short amount of time. Will you be the one who gets it right?

Before we jump into the puzzle itself, let’s take a look at why these image tests are so important for your brain. Did you know that these types of puzzles help develop critical thinking skills? Critical thinking is defined by professor Marcel Danesi on PsychologyToday as “the ability to comprehend the logical connections among ideas, words, phrases, and concepts.” Professor Danesi goes on to explain how “critical thinking involves skill at recognizing a pattern in given information and especially recognizing how the information is connected to the real world.”

It’s little puzzles like this one, where you have to see the error in a picture, that contribute to critical thinking skills. Basically, you have to use your real-world logic and critical thinking to spot mistakes and find what would or wouldn’t work. For example, let’s say you have a picture that depicts a car race and there are 3 cars in the image. The idea is to see the error in the picture in a certain amount of time. You notice one of the cars only has 3 tires. Well, that certainly wouldn’t work in real-life application, would it? That’s a very basic example of how these picture puzzles help you to utilize critical thinking skills and find mistakes.

Now, are you ready to try it out for yourself?

Can you see the error in this picture?

There is something seriously wrong with this image. Can you see the error within the first 20 seconds of looking at this picture? We see the grass, the plane, the hangars in the background, and the control tower off to the side.

What is wrong here? We hope you figure it out soon, the passenger’s safety depends on it!

If you still need a clue, we have got you covered. Here’s a riddle to help you along: if you don’t get a MOVE on soon, the puzzle may DRIVE you crazy. Did you get it yet?

Okay, we have the answer for you if you are ready to find out if you are right. Time’s up!

Answer:

If you take a look at the plane, you’ll see the error right away. Look at the propellers. That has to be a flight safety issue! Only one propeller on one side and two on the other would make for a very dangerous flight. If they could even get off the ground in the first place!
