Can YOU find the panda?

Post Reply New Topic

At first I thought it's a trick where all the snowmen together create an image of a panda.
But then I looked them through and found the panda after like 10 seconds.
Now that I've seen it, it's quite obvious what to look for. I think I could easily find it in different snowmen constellations.

Do you go line-by-line?

I rather like "Search-a-Words", also (I like crosswords, better, though); and, like Raleigh said, the words just kinda jump out at me, INITIALLY----and then, when they STOP (jumpin'-out, at me), I go line-by-line.

Oh, yeah----that's a thought.....

I was thinking it had to do with our being so logical----like I said, above, about going line-by-line, makes the most sense to me----or, even "methodical" (us, being methodical).

Found it.

I started line-by-line. And, I began to see multiple shapes that looked like pandas (to me). Then, as Earthling mentioned, I wondered if it was a trick. After all, according to the article, the puzzle was really difficult. So, I wondered whether a group of “snowmen together create[d] an image of a panda”. After about 5 seconds, I decided to look at a picture of a real panda. After doing that, I then went back to line-by-line, and found it rather quickly.


This is how I do it at well.

This reminded me of an interesting computerized test that an autism researcher shared with me about a year ago. The test consisted of a set of randomly distributed blue and red sticks. The sticks were positioned in one of two directions – diagonally left to right or diagonally right to left. The researcher would display a “snapshot” of these sticks in (I believe) a 200ms timeframe (though it may have been 500ms). I was asked to determine whether or not one of the blue sticks was positioned diagonally left to right.

When the researcher displayed it, it came up fast. It was very difficult. I only saw the blue stick (in the correct direction), occasionally. But only if it was near the first place I started to look (usually, I scanned left to right). But, this process was much too slow. As there was a “sea of sticks”. I mentioned it was like finding a “needle in a haystack”. To which the researcher replied, “It’s more like finding a needle in a sea of needles”.

The researcher (who was also on the spectrum) then proceeded to show me that she could do it, without problems. It’s like the researcher “recorded” the picture and could instantly identify the piece. It was amazing. I wish I could remember the web site where that test was offered.

Ooooh, me, TOO (wish you could remember the website). I LOVE those types of "mind games"! !

You made me think of something else, Rocket..... You know how they have those things on ASD tests, that..... They're like a circle with green splotches, and then there's a red, splotchy 6 in there, that you're suppose to find..... Well, I've never understood those tests, cuz the 6 is always quite clear to me----but, I guess there ARE people, who struggle to find it!

Found it. Try: http://www.gocognitive.net/demo/visual-search

Edit: There is an interesting WP post discussing this particular test at: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=237334

the masts + sails are connected to the hull with a hinge.

the ship is slid inside with the masts down and then they are propped back up once in there.

the question is, how do you get a deck of cards in a bottle?

As was the case with one or two other posters here, I initially sensed a trick of some sort, but once I just got to scanning the picture methodically, it took about 30 seconds or so. One way of doing it perhaps is to somehow 'tune out' everything but the sea of orange carrot-noses and look for a gap amongst them.

Will you please remove that image from my thread!

Why would you want to take all the challenge / fun away from others?

I found it pretty quickly, I just went down the rows and looked for where there wasn't a nose.

A test for colour-blindness?


Don't worry, people don't have to click on it if they don't want to know the answer.

Its a clickable link. I didn't shove the picture in everyones face.

Ohhh, thankyou for both of those links----I totally bookmarked the test one!!

Regardless----someone's gonna click on it, not knowing what it is, and if they haven't already done the task, it'll be ruined for them, and I don't want it on my thread, please.

Yep, I did that as well!!

Hi, DeepHour!! (waving) Merry Christmas!! Haven't talked to you, in awhile----always nice to see you!!
