The CIA challenged Twitter to a spot the difference challenge - how well can you do?

Are you as smart as the CIA? Now you can find out.

On 13 October, the official Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Twitter account tweeted, “#TuesdayTrivia Can you “spy” the differences? Let us know how many you can find.”

The side by side pictures attached showed a scene of a city street, with tall buildings, cars, construction workers and people walking.

Eagle-eyed followers scoured the picture, but many appeared to miss out a few of the differences.

The next day, the CIA tweeted the answer to the puzzle.
