From Tricia's post above.....


1997 – McDonald’s introduces the McFlurry… because apparently we needed more ways to eat ice cream with candy mixed in

William Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy saw a 'long belt' of daffodils, inspiring him to pen I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud'.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

I don't know who else could have done it. Who else is a suspect #GatorsNorth?

There are actually two suspects besides Lizzie, but one is kind of off the wall.

One suspect was Bridget, the maid. She was in the house the whole time. And the second one was Bill Borden, allegedly Andrew’s illegitimate son.

Also, there were the usual strange men hanging around, etc.

The pictures differ in one detail. ​

The Master sees it immediately ​

Grandma, a kitten, and a television
—these pictures seem identical,
but they differ in one tiny detail.

Can you find it in less than 12 seconds?

It's a real challenge!

Put your answer as a spoiler!!!

Megnut that is wild. I have never seen that. Who knew that YouTube would grow into the biggest news platform? At least I think it is. WOW. Just freaky.

I can't put my answer in because I can't see the difference. It will make me CRAZY. LOL. Does anyone else see it?

I see the difference but it took me more than 12 seconds and a magnifying glass.

Actually it took about 1 minute, so I failed miserably.

It depends.
If you found the difference you won.
12 seconds is only for the Eagle Eye Super Sleuth
The Master is only one hahaha

But but but, I thought I was an Eagle Eye Super Sleuth

So....
What's the answer???

 

[TootsieFootsie]

You mean you don't know ?

It is a bit hard to spot.

I do these all the time online and I usually don't randomly search.

I compare two parts of the picture, I look from one to the other until I'm certain there is no difference, then I look at the next part. I do it kind of in a grid, starting from right to left

A magnifying glass helped it to stand out, but after I knew I'd found, it, I could see it with plain sight.

 

[Alyce]

I can't put my answer in because I can't see the difference. It will make me CRAZY. LOL. Does anyone else see it?

I can see something but I dont want to post in case anyone else wants to guess

the bottom dial on the tv is turned to the right in the second pic

 

[Dotta]

Congratulations

I was afraid it would become a Cold Case hahaha

Bravo Alyce!!!

Hmmm that's not the same difference I see.
Maybe I have it wrong.

Yes I am wrong. You found the difference!

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I had another look and I still see a difference.

Spoiler

It's in the window thing next to the mirror.
The right picture shows lights on the top right side, but that area on the left picture shows no lights in that area
