FORTY-TWO cars are lined up in several rows, but only one of them is different from the rest – can you spot the strange man in 15 seconds?

In this illusion, there is only one of the green and red cars that is different from the others.
The average time it takes people to find the odd one out is around 20 seconds – do you think you could beat that time?
Before you set the timer on your phone, look at the cars and pinpoint what might be different from one car to another.
Trim color, tire and wheel color, window color and front or rear lights.
Maybe the distance between them also counts as something that could be different.
As for the strategy, how do you plan to follow it – will you go from left to right or top to bottom?
Or will you start in one corner and slowly travel to another corner to find the strange man?
Once you figure that out, set a timer and start searching.

If you have the bandwidth for something even more difficult, see if you can spot the difference between the three roads.
There are three sections of the highway, two are identical and one is different.

Look at this one carefully because the answer is not what you think.
This illusion won third place in the 2014 Optical Illusion Competition because it shocked almost everyone when they found out the correct answer.
Of course, our first instinct is to assume that the road on the far right is the most different, because it physically looks different.
When the roads move, the real answer becomes obvious.
