Answer: Five Differences at the Bait Shop Dock

The Answer

The correct answer is: five changes involving the clock, life ring, tackle box, boat number, and bucket handle.

Here is why

  1. The bait-shop wall clock shows a different time.
  2. The life ring has a different number of colored bands.
  3. The tackle-box latch changes color.
  4. The rowboat registration changes from MN 5472 3 to MN 5472 8.
  5. The minnow-bucket handle points in a different direction.

Why people miss it

The lake and dock remain nearly identical, so small digits and hardware changes are easy to overlook.
