Answer: Five Differences in the Library Reading Room

The Answer

The correct answer is: five changes to the clock, lamp, book, plant, and card catalog.

Here is why

  1. The wall clock shows a different time.
  2. The reading lamp shade changes color.
  3. A number on a book spine changes.
  4. The potted plant has a different number of leaves.
  5. One card-catalog drawer handle changes position.
