This time it was much simpler. I’m spinning my feed down on one of the social networks, I see a cute retro picture that immediately why makes me tense and confused.

Fair use

There’s definitely something wrong with it. And the accompanying caption is in the same vein: “A Paris psychiatric hospital used this test to determine whether a patient should be treated.” And I, of course, immediately went: really!

In the picture we see a family having a peaceful lunch. Dad, mom, five kids. However, if you look closely, you’ll immediately realize: they look suspicious. As if aliens arrived on Earth in the 50s of XX century and are trying to disguise themselves as locals.

The image has at least a dozen oddities, and I suggest you look for them. It’s a good test of observation, a wonderful jolt for the brain, which is sure to wake up from the abundance of “wrong”.

I suggest you put your mind to work and look for the oddities. There should be at least 12 of them. I’ll start with a couple of the simplest: a girl stirs tea in a cup with a knife, not a spoon – one.

There’s a cat in a birdcage – two. A man is obviously holding a newspaper upside down – three. And then you can look for yourself. And be sure to share your answers in the comments.
