Answer: Five Differences in the Bicycle Parade

The Answer

The correct answer is: five changes involving the streamers, a cap, a wheel reflector, the sign decorations, and the road arrow.

Here is why

  1. The front bicycle has a different number and color arrangement of handlebar streamers.
  2. The boy seated near the lemonade stand has a red-trimmed cap in panel A and a blue-trimmed cap in panel B.
  3. The red reflector on the front wheel moves from the bottom in panel A to the right side in panel B.
  4. The star decorations around the HAPPY SATURDAY sign change color between the panels.
  5. The white chalk arrow on the road points left in panel A and right in panel B.

Why people miss it

The parade colors create many repeated red, white, and blue details. That makes a changed stripe, star, or reflector easy to dismiss as decoration.
