The scene depicts five friends sitting together on a sofa, each engaged in different activities – one waving a flag, another wielding a selfie stick and the third enjoying a pint of beer. They sit in front of a TV screen, behind a table laden with snacks and bottles, reports Express.

While it may be tempting to focus on center stage, differences are cleverly dispersed throughout the image.

For those who find the task too easy, the challenge can be increased by imposing a time limit. Express.co.uk suggests limiting yourself to just 30 seconds.

For those who find the task difficult, with or without time constraints, the answers can be found below.

The differences in the second image are as follows:

– The detail on the left sofa support is more inclined and oriented to the left.

– A wall panel next to the man in white and blue is missing.

– The woman’s flag is reversed.

– The badge on the man in the yellow top is different.

– The man in red is missing his right shoe.
