Two Mistakes at This Motel Writing Desk: Answer

Did you get it right?

This motel writing-desk puzzle shows paper postcards, a rotary phone, stamps, an ashtray, a lamp, tourist brochures, and old pens. Two writing details are too modern.

The Answer

The correct answer is: The peel-and-stick stamp backing strip and the disposable gel-pen rubber grip are the two mistakes..

Here is why

1. The postcards, rotary phone, lamp, tourist brochure, and old desk items fit the 1970s motel scene.
2. The stamp sheet has a modern peel-and-stick backing strip.
3. One pen has a disposable gel-pen rubber grip, which is the second modern clue.

Why people miss it

A writing desk naturally has paper, stamps, postcards, and pens, so modern stationery details do not jump out right away.
