Think you’ve got sharp eyes or a knack for spotting details? Well, here’s a challenge just for you! I’m a big fan of optical illusions, brainteasers, and tricky puzzles, but I’ll admit—this one’s pretty sneaky! In fact, they say only 2% of people can spot the missing pipe on their first try. Are you one of them? Let’s find out!

The Scene: A Man, a Bench, and a Missing Pipe
In the image below, you’ll see an old man sitting contently on a bench outside his cozy home. It’s a peaceful setting, but there’s one problem: his beloved pipe has gone missing! He’s too busy reading his newspaper to notice, but can you help him find it within one minute?

Our elderly friend is dressed in a stylish red top with intricate details, paired with striped brown pants. His walking cane is propped up beside him, while vines weave around the bench, adding to the charm. But where on earth could his pipe be hiding? Is it lost in the plants or maybe camouflaged by the house in the background?

Take a Close Look – The Pipe Is There

Take another careful look at the scene before you scroll down for the answer. Could the pipe be tucked away in plain sight? Pay special attention to his belongings—you may be surprised by what you find.

Ready for the reveal? As it turns out, what appears to be the top of the man’s walking cane is actually his missing pipe, cleverly disguised within the cane’s design! Sneaky, right?

If you managed to find it, congratulations—you’re among the sharp-eyed few! If not, don’t worry, this puzzle is meant to be tricky.

Either way, be sure to share this brainteaser with your friends and see if they can spot the hidden pipe as quickly as you did (or didn’t)!
