The science laboratory is well-lit, multi-level, with beautiful white countertops, shelves stocked with science equipment beakers, flasks, microscopes, and digital monitors displaying graphs and diagrams of molecules. One wall contains a chalkboard with complex equations scrawled across it.

 One side of the laboratory has a whiteboard with a labeled diagram of DNA, while the other side has a floor-to-ceiling rack filled with safety goggles beside the lab coats, which hang on hooks. In one position, are a workstation that is showing activity as liquid that is bubbling in test tubes and a centrifuge that is mid-spin. 

Everything seems normal and creates an image of a meticulous space where careful study and experimentation occurs. However, if you look very closely, there is something that does not fit in a well-organized lab situated in a technological era. 

Amongst all of the modern instruments and sterile spaces, there is something that is simply out of place, completely conspicuous in this modern space. Were you able to find it?

Make sure you have a timer ready to fully enjoy this puzzle as intended. Shall we begin the countdown now? 

Five…Four…Three…Two…One…

And…

Time is Up! 

That was a fun experience, wasn’t it?

 Let’s dive right into what the answer is. 

Answer: Spot What is Odd in the Living Room in 9 Seconds

error ans

The answer is a basket of apples.

The oddity of the scene is the basket of apples. In a lab filled with microscopes, test tubes, test tubes, and tools that are highly calibrated and precise, the apples represent nature. Nature is organic and unique. 

In labs we control and measure exactly; apples present natural variability that says nothing about their quality. No two apples are the same. Apples are also colorful and organic - they will look old and rustic compared to the clean and sterile looking lab bench. 

In the sterile environment of a lab, it seems strange to have apples; yet, they hold an interesting metaphor. The real-life experience of science that comes from nature.

Share this with your friends and family to test their observation skills, too.
