Twenty-eight things are wrong in this picture below. Can you spot them all? Use comments to post your findings… I found only one, well didn’t look that much, but seems pretty hard. My finding is that wind is blowing strangly here, since there is smoke coming out of the chimney and going right, while trees are bent left. Please help me with 27 other wrong things… When you solve them all, jump to “Face in the Coffe”, “Dolphins”, “Many Faces” or grand “Virgin’s find the 75 Bands” for simmilar tasks.

Well the tail on the sheep is black like the dog tail and also the grass levals out with the wall.
Land is at top of stone wall man’s side of the gate at the bottom on other side of the gate.
Horse pulling plow appears to be saddled
i found 6
Horse is plowing what has already been plowed
There is no sun, the shadow from the gate need a sun.
1. looks like water but it’s mountain
2. no doorway but doorstep

12. farm gate has 5 bars but shadow shows 4
13. trees are blowing to different directions
14. no smoke from chimney, it’s illusion
15. horse ploughing all by himself….
omg T/heres only four sheep i swear the rest are just rocks and mud/dirt/puddles
the horse is UN-plowing, that random bush on the left side is both on the ground and going over the brickwall
well, if you look closely, you see a wall but the ground above it is at the level of the highest point of the wall, but the ground under it is on the lowest point of the wall, which makes the gate stairs…
This is pretty boring, and you have got to have alot of time on your hands to find all 28. so i found one and called it a day. One sheep has a black tail for some reason =/ lol it’s kinda funny
interesting painting makes u think not an illusion realy but good nevertheless
theres a branch at the top thats not connected 2 the tree
Look closley at Dog’s tail,What is that thing?
The sheep is a kitty xD
Wheelbarrow has only 1 handle
The shadow of the gate is… wavery.. it’s not a straight line as a shadow is supposed to be anyway.
And the smaller tree without leaves stands closer to us, but it’s branches seem to go behind the other leaveless’ tree.
the card with hay in it misses spokes on 1 wheel.
the card with hay (don’t know the name for it) has no shadow at all.
+ there seems to be someone or a scarecrow in it… why? o.O
The man is the same height as the house.

help sos
the man is too big for his house
if you look up side down………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. you will find that’s nothing happen..lol
lol u all are so stupid!!! biggest wrong thing in this pic is the wind direction!!!look at tree and the dust smooke!!!diffrent direction!!!
So many people have mentioned the tree direction vs the smoke yet this is perfectly plausible.
Although the general direction of the wind blows toward the left (at least for 3 out of 5 trees), it’s very possible for the smoke to blow the other way.
Wind generally blows from the East to West in the southern hemisphere and opposite to that in the northern hemisphere, but sometimes it can blow in a north-easterly or south-easterly direction or south-westerly or north-westerly direction at any given time, depending on which hemisphere you’re observing.
So there’s nothing wrong with a tree growth/smoke direction set up like this one.
Sorry folks but this is not a mistake.
Perhaps the artist wasn’t aware of these geographical facts. It does seem to be a very old picture.

Everyone missed this one: Man is holding cane in left hand, but clearly he is righ-handed.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
the horses direction of powing should be the other way around… because the powned ground is opened in front of the horse… though it should be powned behind it! )))
well the wind is blowing the trees one way but the smoke from the chimney another way.
The trees behind seem to have no leaves and to not be affected by the wind.Also with the wind,the staw wouldn’t stand still on the ground.

-the shadow of the gate.
The tree over the house and the tree on the left both have a bunch of different leaves on them.
There is a cat mixed in with the sheep.
The fence has a shadow of 4 bars instead of all five.
The man and the fence shadows face the opposite way.
The door is missing on the house.
The curtains are on the opposite side of the house.
The horse is undoing the tilling of the dirt.
The long skinning tree on left has two different branches. There’s an animal on top of the Hay stack.
The man is standing on top of a hill (see retaining wall) but also looks to be on same level as sheep and dog.

4. shadow of man n gate are on opposite direction

ok so everything that was said til now and more:
-look at the horse and the earth, the horse is doing it wrong :P
-i’m not sure but it’s clearly in the mountains and there’s the sea (could be a lake though)
-as for the three-legged sheep it could have gotten into some kind of an accident, poor thing :<
-the windows – one of them is like + and the other more like # and heck why are the curtains outside? :D
Adding to all the things listed above.
1. Wheelbarrow with one wheel
2. The horse pulling on the plough is smoothing out already ploughed land.
3. Curtains on the outside of the windows.
4. A cart full of bale/hay (harvesting some crop?) where there signs of deforestation.
5. Wheel on the cart has no spokes.
6. Are there bullet holes in the house or something? XD
Lastly, dude paint something better looking like a potato or your own feet. They’re probably better than this.
wheel barows only have one wheel Duhhhhh!!!
anyone noticed that the grass the man is standing on is the same height as the brick wall
The main gate has no way to open it. It is a gate not a wall.
1. Shadow on gate wrong way
2. Sheep same size as dog
3. Gate has five bars – shadow has four
4. Tree with different types of leaves
5. Wind from chimney in different direction to blowing leaves
6. No door on house
7. Curtains outside windows
8. Sheep with three legs
9. Sheep with black tail
10. Horse and plough on ploughed land
11. Wheelbarrow with only one wheel
12. Man half the size of house!
On the guy being half the size of the house, that is actually not that weird.
If you are in Europe many of this kind of farmhouse is quite old, and made with limited recourses for not so tall people. So if the building is well old and you are (like me) above average height, that will happen.
13. No leaves on trees in background
14. Top two layers of bricks in the wall are not overlapped
15. Noone is driving the plough
16. No hinge/lock/handle on gate; its just a fence
17. Sheep shouldnt be on the road (no grass on road) unless if they were moving, and if they were moving they would all be facing the same direction.
18. On the left window there is a “+” shaped crossbar, on the right is a “#” shape
19. The wheels on the wagon in the background are different sizes
20. There is no horse attached to the wagon
21. The ivy on the house should be green
22. There is also only 1 handle on the wheel barrow
23. No shadow on the dog, at least no in the same way as the sheep have
24. No spokes on the back wheel of the wagon
25. Bricks on left wall are much smaller than right wall
26. The mountains in the background: The furthest one (behind the others) is darker, should be lighter than the other 2 in front.
27. Seems as if the horse is facing the wrong way: the foreground of the land the horse is on looks more unplowed then the land he is about to walk over.
28. Seems like the roof of the shed is not thatched like the house is, which wouldnt be too likely.
Question about 10: do you mean to say (“Horse and plugh on ploughed land”) that the land is being ploughed while harvest is happening in the background? Or do you mean what I explained in 27.? Either way, both ar covered…
Lol nice findings people but the most obvious one is the impossible perspective on the left side of the gate. How can there be a wall like 1m off of the ground making an imaginary ledge that the land there is on; it’s not like that would be like that is it :L, just sayin
house has no shadow?
No the house has a shadow….wtf 28 things wrong :O
The Dog’s feet can be seen both ways (Left or right foot foward)
howcome the tree(tallest)has a bunch of diffrent pack of leaves from the rest
The man seems to have no pants?
the man is standing on the same level as the road. however, when the road reaches the gate the grass the man is standing on seems to be level with the stone wall
~wind is blowing smoke and trees in different directions
~ shadow on the gate has a different amount of lines
~tree has a little bunch of different colored leaves
~theres a step but no door
~horse is not pulling anything
~one of the sheep has a black tail
~shadow of man and gate are wrong
~curtains on the outside
~water is half the height of the mountain
~sheep in front has 3 legs
~trees shadow on the bush is wrong
~looks like the grass where the man in standing is the same height as the brick wall
Has anyone noticed the gate could also be stairs? Because the stone fence appears to be a wall.
Jess: You must be pretty dumb… If they were stairs, the side of the stairs wouldn’t be straight. They would be slanted slightly.
she is nt dumb THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT when i first saw it so whose the dumb one now???
@sindy006618
Still you; just because TWO people saw the same things doesn’t make you… Smart. So, you are pretty dumb…
*nt
*who’s
Have a good day, young man.
No ones driving the horse, and there is a three legged sheep
Saddle on the horse.
the leaves on the tree next to the house are too large
nice job everyone but one still not said ;
It’s impossible to see the ocean far away like that with the height perspective of that picture.
the horse is plowing in reverse
the dog has no shadow
the back of the house is missing
the guy is the size of his house….
It looks like the man is bleeding from the throat area and his legs dont even seem right
Veronica: Um… He’s not bleeding. That’s a scarf or maybe an ascot.
you mustbe a lonely person if you read all the comments and critisized them stop being so horrible to people their only sugestions. btw the only reason i am reading them is because i want to know the answers and in my defence i nothing to do!!!!
@sindy006618
Maybe she is doing the same. Maybe she also wants to find the answers. She NEVER said she read ALL of the comments. She didn’t even reply to every comment!
Also:
“in my defence i nothing to do!!!”
So. YOU must be very lonely, because YOU have nothing else to do.
“stop being so horrible to people their only sugestions.”
Okay, dude. YOU are being horrible to her. And don’t even get me started on your grammar. And SHE is also making suggestions.
*must be
*criticized
*By the way,
*defense
*You
*them. Stop
*they’re
*I
Your paragraph SHOULD read:
You must be a lonely person if you read all the comments and criticized them. Stop being so horrible to people; they’re only suggestions!
By the way, the only reason I am reading them is because in my defense, I am a very lonely boy and I have nothing else to do!
Stop being so mean to her. She didn’t even reply to your comments!
WELCOME TO THE F*CKING INTERNET, B*TCH. :)
Surprised nobody has noticed there is no back half of the house. I cuts off at the tree in the foreground then becomes field.
the man is the smae size as the house…
A chariot in the field.Oxen and plow on cement.
K guys let me educate you townies and Americans-
the issue with the gentlemans ‘pants’- this is kind of traditional English farm wear, called britches. So they are not wrong with the picture, its in keeping with the theme. Those are not ‘mountains’- I live in Wales, and believe me, they are hills. And to that fact, along the British coastline (this is undoubtably set in Britain) you often get that vista- hills with cliffs dropping down to the sea. Its not unusual or wrong. Someone mentioned some nonsense about harvesting a crop and deforestation? In Britain, coz we’re a smaller country, we have less land so for better or worse, the fields of crops and such often go right to the edge of boundaries. And Tom- thats a horse not an oxen, and a cart not a chariot. Oh yes and the house doesn’t cut off that again is traditional British building design, thatched peaked roof, and most like just one roomed at that. The shed wouldn’t nescessarily need to be thatched because there is nothing in it to insulate, so simple tiles would suffice. However, I have no suggestions to put forward so I aint so bright
1) Either the shadow of the man or the gate is wrong.
2) The trees seemed to be blown left but the direction of the
smoke from the chimney is opposite.
3) One of the branch of the thin tree have leaves of different
colour from the others.
4) The cart at the shack has only one handle.
i’m sorry about my last comment
what about the shadow of the man and the shadow of the gate? the shadow of the man is opposite on the shadow of the gate..hmmmmmmm.
