Think you have great eyesight? Well, if the last time we put it to test you scored well on our quiz (take it again here), then don’t get too smug, because the latest picture doing the rounds on the Internet has proved to be quite a tough cookie to crack.
Though it’s been a while, the British Army’s Household Cavalry posted a picture on Twitter asking people to find six soldiers in the frame. Now, we all know that army men and women have pretty much perfected the art of camouflage, and this picture is a prime example of that. But Netizens are not one to shy away from a challenge, and they put on their Sherlock hats, took out their pipe, and soon got sniffing in the woods.
Here’s a Christmas Day teaser for you.
This picture was taken back in July on Salisbury plain and will test your powers of observation.
Can you spot 6 of our camouflaged soldiers in the Wood?
All will be revealed on Boxing Day
Happy Christmas and happy hunting!

Of course, not all could spot all the soldiers, and to help people out, the Household Cavalry posted another picture with the officers partially revealed.
Here they are partially revealed, just to make it a little easier for you! #trustedguardians Merry Christmas! pic.twitter.com/TQFNSDp78J

Soon after that, the guessing game picked up pace and people started posting their answers.

My dad used to be in the Army. Surprised he wasn’t any good at hide and seek 🤔

Nope. In the original picture, I can only “maybe” see something. Good job soldiers!

Is it me or the pictures not the same.

I hope they’re blimming well NOT spotted, it would kind of defeat the point of camouflage – lol – and you’d have to have stern words with their training officer!!!! Seasonal greetings to you all, thanks for everything that you do in our defense x

After 1 bottle of champagne & a few largers I’d be surprised if I could even see them if they weren’t hiding. Happy Christmas

The Household Cavalry finally took pity on all those guessing and pointed the brave soldiers out.
Our soldiers revealed. How many did you find? #trustedguardians #tofind #toseek #notyield #pickyiurposition pic.twitter.com/jZK0grjfkJ
