If you hadn't said 'it took you so long', it probably would have taken me ages as well.

[–]Wingmeister 20 points21 points ago

After I saw the "8 spider legs missing" I only kept looking for another 5 seconds and then remembered the title of the link

[–]dublinus 4 points5 points ago

He said that, and it still took me ages. I'm an idiot.

[–]poopinmysoup 4 points5 points ago

Agreed.

[–]jubbing 0 points1 point ago

If you insist man...

[–]herkemertwo 34 points35 points ago

4 hours in to it, and I have found 7... Anyone have a list yet??

[–]jcarville 10 points11 points ago

You ain't got no legs, Lt. Dan!

[–]doomtaco -3 points-2 points ago

You sir are awesome

[–]Jonathanjoe10 15 points16 points ago

I actually went over the whole picture twice before it hit me.

[–]FartQuotes 6 points7 points ago

It took me a while too.

I'm now gunna go and hang myself.

[–]treacill 4 points5 points ago

See if anyone else can 'spot the difference'?

[–]Duck_Licker 6 points7 points ago

Dammit... I feel retarded

[–]some_random_noob 4 points5 points ago

it has more to do with how people process what they are looking at than the difficulty. most people assume the spider is 1 object and do no differentiate between the spider and its legs because the legs are part of the spider.

i had to read the question twice before i realized what the expected answer was.

[–]Twacked 10 points11 points ago

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM LOOKING AT.

[–]Twacked 8 points9 points ago

Just sat back down after getting some Lasagna.

I GET IT NOW.

[–]treacill 35 points36 points ago

YOU PASTA DE TEST

[–]emokittens 6 points7 points ago

Holy shit...fuck you, middle of class I read this and start cracking up....needless to say I wont be going back this week due to a request from the Profesor. Oh my (Insert Preferred Deity Here), it was worth it though.

[–]diegroblers 1 point2 points ago

Lol! You made me laugh more than the original post! Do you read Terry Pratchett?

[–]TimDaEnchanter 2 points3 points ago

His books are amazing! Discworld ftw.

[–]emokittens 1 point2 points ago

It's possible I've read some of his stuff. I read almost anything I can get my hands on, so a lot of authors don't stay in my mind as long as their books do.

[–]cutthecrap 3 points4 points ago

took me 30 sec. i feel retarded.

[–]Youtenna 2 points3 points ago

Don't feel bad. Me too.

[–]OriginalJee 2 points3 points ago

It took me roughly 15 seconds and a tripletake to figure this one out.

[–]danhnat 2 points3 points ago

Showed this to a coworker. Shes still looking. Its been 20 minutes and its getting more and more entertaining.

[–]evileeyore 3 points4 points ago

I think that is pretty bad logic actually.

For stuff like this, speaking of difference games, the spider is considered a singular object. If we want to call each individual leg a separate difference why not call each section of the leg a separate entity as well...

[–]supersonicbacon 3 points4 points ago

why stop there? we can distinguish separate pixels if we try (or zoom) hard enough.

[–]IgnitorDetonate 3 points4 points ago

Clever. Have an upvote

[–]xSHRIGGAHx -1 points0 points ago

its just like... fuck

[–]tigerza 1 point2 points ago

welp, looks like I'm not getting those 3 mins back :/

[–]Leopoldstach 1 point2 points ago

Luckily this is a repost so I didn't spend near as much time as I did the first time I saw this

[–]whatwouldscoobydo 1 point2 points ago

This is a clever representation of how the brain categorizes visual information. Similar things are grouped together and viewed at one entity, rather than individual parts. Neat!

[–]diegroblers 0 points1 point ago

Bastard!

[–]captumlux 1 point2 points ago

I'm just going to say GOATSE.

[–]bricardo 1 point2 points ago

That's because it is not how this game usually goes.

[–]littledingo 1 point2 points ago

Took me about 5 seconds. Huzzah!

[–]Celticterminator 1 point2 points ago

The funny thing i found is that the chicken is looking at a rock

[–]dontcareifdownvoted 1 point2 points ago

...seriously? Am I the only one that caught it right away and thought this was incredibly easy/mildly stupid? I honestly don't understand at all how it took people more than two or three seconds to see the "differences."

[–]snokyguy 1 point2 points ago

60 seconds in I knew I had been hoodwinked. upvote to you good sir.

[–]rapture_survivor 1 point2 points ago

there's an easy way to solve these, especially if they're side by side. just cross your eyes until both images line up, and the different parts will almost literally stick out at you.

[–]thedeutschbag 0 points1 point ago

blah blah science blah blah this took me too long blah blah blah irony is cool blah blah repost blah blah give me karma

[–]TheOneWithTheBowlCut 0 points1 point ago

That rock grew 8 legs!

[–]omnomnomabomb 0 points1 point ago

Goddammit.

[–]joshuab171 0 points1 point ago

Wow after like an hour i finally figured it out i feel really stupid

[–]EasySauc3 0 points1 point ago

I saw one difference, and kept looking for longer than I'd like to admit... facepalm

[–]louismagoo 0 points1 point ago

Two seconds. This title made me feel like a logic god!

[–]thisusernameistaken1 -3 points-2 points ago

Wait... Is each leg a difference... -_-

[–]Jordonzo 5 points6 points ago

keep looking bro..

[–]nursewhitney -1 points0 points ago

Obviously not

[–]Joshjelly -3 points-2 points ago

There's seven more legless spiders.

[–]Pumpiedum -1 points0 points ago

downvote, i want the other redditors to struggle

[–]Joshjelly 3 points4 points ago

I feel you bro. Good luck in your quest in becoming the greatest Pokemon master.

[–]BossBlastoise -3 points-2 points ago

8 spider legs

[–]Zohwithpie -4 points-3 points ago

I opened the link without even reading the title, it took me about 15 seconds after seen the spider legs to realize the was no other difference, and that the legs where actually the 8 differences lol
