Answer: Five Differences in the Fishing Derby

The Answer

The correct answer is: five changes involving the weigh-in card, dock cleat, tackle-box latch, bobber, and hatband.

Here is why

  1. The weigh-in card reads 7.2 in panel A and 7.3 in panel B.
  2. The metal dock cleat at the bottom right points in a different direction.
  3. The front latch plate on the green tackle box changes orientation.
  4. The red-and-white bobber near the bottom has a different stripe arrangement.
  5. The main man’s straw-hat band changes in width and placement.

Why people miss it

The dock contains many repeated lines and small metal parts. The bold fish and smiling family pull attention away from the quiet changes near the edges.
