building: the sun is behind the building but the light comes from the left

the only way the boy could be standing behind the girl on the swing would be if she was at rest, but the angle of the ropes shows that she is in motion. If she’s moving forward he should be way behind her (having just pushed her). If she is moving backward he is about to get clocked.

The traffic light with the Green on top is an obvious fault; UNLESS the scene is of Tipperary Hill in Syracuse, NY where due to the high presence of Irish the green is on top. Only place in the USA where that is.

Building – neither sunrise nor sunset happen at 2 o’clock

Watering Can – the handle and the spout are an the wrong sides of the can when tipped the water will spill out of the top of the can. also there is no shadow for the spout.
Roosters – no webbed feet

Swinger – only one set of rope supporting the front of the seat, not in the middle nor any at the back.

Street – the lights on the traffic lights are the wrong way round going red amber green rather than green amber red. The driver is in the wrong side of the car/the road markings is on teh wrong side of the street.

On the traffic lights the one on the other side of the street ( left hand side ) is not on the corner of the street.

my answers are..

Building – neither sunrise nor sunset happen at 2 o’clock

Watering Can – the handle and the spout are an the wrong sides of the can when tipped the water will spill out of the top of the can.

Roosters – do NOT have webbed feet

Swinger – it would be nearly impossible to balance on that swing since it is tied to the seat near the front and not the center sides. with her feet in the are crossed, the girl should be lying on her back!

Street – this one was a little hard for me. I finally figured it out. At first, I thought maybe the driver was on the wrong side but that is entirely difficult to tell. but the stop lights are entirely in the wrong places. With the closest stop light in it’s position, there would be no need for the stop light to the right in the distance since there would both be for the same traffic. If you try to rationalize it as well maybe it is for the other side then why does it have lights on the forward facing side. If there is a light on each corner, it should only face the oncoming traffic.

I thought the fault in that picture was the building on the right. It looks too modern.

There are no lights for the perp. section of the intersection: why have lights for only one part of the intersection…

For the intersection one: If this is in England, shouldn’t the driver be on the other side of the car?

The only puzzling one is the intersection. The previous answers seem incorrect. Sides of the street is the result of being British. The artist would not have put traffic lights in if they were unknown at the time. How would we know the cultural practice of traffic light order 100 years later? There are two candidates that seem likely.

1. The size of objects seems poor, the car is too small compared to the lady standing on the corner. This, however, does not seem to be a “logic” error.

2. I am going with, rotation of shadow. The shadow of the pedestrian is cast backwards towards the traffic light. Yet the building across from her seems to be illuminated by sunlight.

The traffic light is at least twice as tall as the woman, yet its shadow is the same size as hers.

umm.. its more like:
1. the clock on the right of the tower is on the same angle as the one on the left, but it should be facing the side.
2. the rope is too far forward on the swing
3. idk about the rooster i think it should be something more complicated then just the feet.
4. the traffic lights are upside down.
5. yes the splash guard is on the wrong side for the watering can.
