A nice gesture

July 1st, 2008 |

Let’s test your powers of observation….

Something is not right with this picture. Can you figure it out?

Here are several earlier Find the Fault picture puzzles you can try.

Feel free to submit your answer in the comments section below. As always, will unmask answers in a day or 2, thanks.

Since we’ve been going heavy on the visual puzzles the past couple weeks, should have a couple of good math puzzles/brain teasers just around the corner….

    bicycle pedals should be on a straight line opposite each other…

    to stop or park the bicycle, pedal has to lean backword…not forword, not perpendicular on sidewalk.

    bicycle should be behind the car.

    hope you understand my “broken” English!

    clearly the car is illegally parked on the wrong side of the road…maybe

    The bicycle will be hard to peddle. The pedddles are at a 135° (225°) angle. All the ones I’ve ever seen (and tried to peddle) are at 180°C.


  4. bigbossSNK | Profile (beta)

    The bicycle’s pedals aren’t at a 180 degree angle

    I think the car is missing a door handle in the left side of a car, thats the main error I have seen in the picture.
    Other errors can be:
    The proportion of the shadows are not quite right, but that is too subjective.

    If they are in England or Australy( for the position of the steering wheel) could be an error in the number of the plaque)


  6. sven254 | Profile (beta)

    The pedals on the bike are not 180° apart.

    It is OK that the pedal is being used to support the bike on the curb (no kickstand), but the pedal on the orad side should be straight up, and is not.


  7. abeshua | Profile (beta)

    the pedals are not aligned properly on the bike and also if the box on the bike is for the flowers it is to small for it


  8. sebbie3000 | Profile (beta)

    There are no spokes in the basket attached to the bicycle, either on the sides or on the bottom of it - anything placed in it would fall out. Not a very practical design!

    Also, the man in the car is wearing a green jacket against red upholstery - and everyone knows that: “red and green should never be seen” when it comes to fashion!

    the ‘basket’ on the front of the bike wouldn’t carry much, as it’s just a metal frame. I’m guessing it was made to carry the wooden box that is holding the flowers, though, so that’s not likely the “error” in this picture. Poor basket design doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

    I see handbrakes on the bike (at least, that’s what I think those are) but I don’t see any cables. Is lack of detail an “error”?

    The bike doesn’t have a kickstand but it’s standing up — however, I’ve actually stood my bike using the pedal on a square curb just like it’s done in the picture so I know it’s possible. Hard, sure, but possible. Still, it’s not something people do often so is that supposed to be the ‘error’?

    Ah-ha! got it! The lighting is off! The shadow on the car implies the sun is just about directly overhead, the shadow on the man in brown implies the sun is coming from the right at about 11:00 time, the shadow on the man in gray is at a different angle than the one from the man in brown (and one of his legs doesn’t seem to cast a shadow at all), and the highlights on the car paint job imply the sun is coming from the left at about 3:00.

    Or am I missing something way more obvious? :)

    the flowers definitely should be given to the lady waiting in the car.
    leaving out this guy in the business suit could also look more like the billy-joel-uptown-girl story most people want to see…

    (sorry RK, I know, I missed the point of this riddle…did I ?)


  11. Eightball | Profile (beta)

    Look out! You parked your car (and the bike) on the wrong side of the road (note the right-hand steering arrangement) and there’s a lorry coming that won’t be able to stop before smashing into your poor wife!


  12. sue hal | Profile (beta)

    Even though the picture is on a street in a foriegn country, the shadow of the man getting the flowers is not in proper line with all the others. Also, the bicycle foot pedals seem to be not spaced properly or maybe the young man fell down and never fixed his bike.


  13. jasc | Profile (beta)

    no kickstand


  14. RampantSteel | Profile (beta)

    There are no sides or bottom on the bicycles basket, just the framework.


  15. nikahmad | Profile (beta)

    the pedal is not in the right position..


  16. bilbao | Profile (beta)

    pedals in the bycicle should make 180 degrees between them


  17. zenitth | Profile (beta)

    i’m usually way off base on these, but here goes:

    the bike has no kickstand—quite the balancing act.


  18. jae113 | Profile (beta)

    The shadows and the sun glare on the car don’t match.


  19. jae113 | Profile (beta)

    The shadows of the people, car and bike don’t match the sun glare on the car.


  20. dianne | Profile (beta)

    the car and bike are facing the wrong way…. unless it’s a one-way street.


  21. VMcNaughton | Profile (beta)

    At first I thought the steering wheel was on the wrong side, but seeing as the car is parked on the “left-side” of the street, it leads me to believe that the picture could have taken place in England…

    But I also noticed the bike has no kick stand. Eventhough the pedal is resting on the curb, I don’t think it would keep the bike from falling…


  22. RK | Profile (beta)

    As VMcNaughton notes, the steering wheel configuration and location of the car would be appropriate in some countries.

    However, as falwan, michaelc, bigbossSNK, sven254, abeshua, sue hal, nikahmad, bilbao, describe: the bike pedals should be at 180 angle. This is the main fault we were looking for.

    Jasc, zenith and lograh are right about the kickstand, and sebie3000 and others are correct about the basket and lack of door handle. these are the “minor faults” :)

    And Gray-T always manages to get me to see the puzzle from another angle. Yes, now that I look more closely, the suit does have a funny manner about him :)

    …isn’t the lady on the wrong side of her car according to her type of license plate? It looks like one from Europe, and they drive on the opposite side….right?
