Can You Beat the "Impossible" Hidden Object Challenge?

We love a good brain teaser, but this one is currently causing a bit of a stir online! It looks like a simple cartoon of a couple relaxing in bed, but there is a hidden catch that is frustrating even the most eagle-eyed puzzle solvers.

The challenge is simple: Locate the four hidden objects shown at the top of the image.

The Checklist

• The Lamp: Most people spot this one in a heartbeat.

• The Comb: A little trickier, but once you see it, you can't unsee it.

• The Nail: This is where things start getting difficult.

• The Pill: This is the one that has everyone scratching their heads!
