Do you think you have acute eyes or a penchant for seeing details? So here’s a challenge just for you! I enjoy optical illusions, brainteasers, and tough puzzles, but this one is very sly! In fact, just 2% of people can identify the missing pipe on their first attempt. Are you one of them? Let’s find out.

The Scene: A Man, a Bench, and a Missing Pipe.
In the photograph below, an elderly guy sits contentedly on a bench outside his comfortable home. It’s a beautiful environment, but there’s one problem: his cherished pipe has disappeared! He’s too busy reading his newspaper to notice, but can you help him find it in under a minute?

Our old acquaintance wears a nice red shirt with intricate decorations and striped brown slacks. He props up his walking cane beside him, and vines encircle the seat, enhancing its attractiveness. But where on earth might his pipe be? Does the greenery obscure it, or does the home in the background hide it?
