Thanks to Lloyd King for this unique lateral thinking puzzle that absolutely drove me crazy. To solve it, you’ll probably want to print the picture out.

Feel free to enter your answer in the comments section, but for this one, I’m going to hold off on releasing posted responses for a couple days so as to not spoil the fun.
I got to 2 trains and thought it was hard!
Paris.
yea i dont wanna print it out so im just gonna go ahead and say its not a building its a cannon in a circus, and the man who was supposed to get shot out went way too far outta the tent, and hit THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE!
ITS SAN FRANCISCO!
paris
Paris
Paris!
In Paris, you’ll find the Eiffel Tower.
It’s located in Paris. It wasn’t all that hard, to be honest; I figured it out in about 30 seconds… not to be arrogant or anything…
haha i have no clue. my only guess is tilting the paper so you look down it? leaning tower. pisa, italy?
The puzzle creator grades it 2 out of 4 as far as level of difficulty. I just couldn’t see it initially, though.
Was playing around with a book on anamorphic art last week, so thought the brain teaser was pretty cool.
piza, italy , the base is different ferom the top.
YYZ = toronto
Please someone tell me the correct answer WITH EXPLANATION!!
Paris is the correct answer. When you print the puzzle out, look at the paper from an angle- almost as if you are staring down over the illustration vertically. You will see the word ‘Eiffel’
AAH! See it now - thanks!!!!
???????????????????? I still don’t see the word “Eiffel”. Can someone do an EXTREAMELY detailed explanation.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Right - ignore all the thin horizontal lines.
Now starting from the left, see a thin vertical with three big blobs? Can you see that makes an E? Now move to the next thin vertical - no blobs - no nothing. An I.
Then the next thin vertical - two blobs makings an F. And so on till you reachthe lastthin vertical which has a blob low down - L.
Once you see it, it looks obvious.
Oh yer now i see it. Im an idiot i didnt see it before.
