CIA has recently put out a challenge to put to test the vigilance and observational skills of the budding investigators. In an official post from its official Twitter handle, the CIA depicted two adjoined images, saying, “Can you spot the 10 differences below?” Further, they warned that the activity might require the future CIA aspirants to churn out the best investigative qualities in them as they asked the millennial to put their observation skills to test. In subsequent tweets, the international investigation agency also listed the cues and the correct answers for those who were perhaps unable to reach to the bottom of it. 

The agency asked the commenters how many did each manage to find and accordingly ranked the efficacy. It said that those of whom that were able to spot at least 10 differences were agile and mastered “good tradecraft”. However, those who could not reach the 10, needed to learn more, the agency advised. The post was retweeted over 1k times as over 5.4k people hit like on it. Further, the images are being constantly circulated as viewers challenge colleagues and friends to gauge their investigative abilities.

Giving CIA a competition

Several users dropped the answers on the comments, while some others sketched the images with the marker to demonstrate the differences they managed to catch. One user flaunted that he had observed more than 10 differences, another said, “damn, stuck at 9”. “You missed the hood ornament on the BMW in the front left of photos,” said another low key genius. “Put your observation skills to the test. Can you spot the dozens of ways the current administration is serving Russia's agenda at the expense of our own,” one other brought sarcasm on the table. “Come on man,” a user retorted. “I missed a couple of those but looks like you missed the blue car turned to red behind the BMW. Good eye on above the fence on the left and the BMW logo” said another giving CIA a competition.
