Answer: Five Differences at the County Fair Pie Contest

Did you get it right?

The two county-fair panels contain five visible changes.

The Answer

The correct answer is: five changes involving the pie number, ribbon, apple basket, lemon slice, and fork area.

Here is why

1. The middle pie card changes from 12 in panel A to 21 in panel B.
2. The blue ribbon beside the middle pie changes shape and tail length.
3. The apple basket has a different apple arrangement.
4. The lemon slice on the pitcher moves to a different position.
5. The fork and napkin area near the plates changes slightly.

Why people miss it

The judges and pie table stay nearly identical, so the eye tends to scan the faces instead of the small table details.
