A children's puzzle which seems 'impossible to solve' has left adults baffled.
They have been left stumped by the children's which initially appears easy. Its deceptive nature is it looks simple but is actually much more difficult than it appears. It asks people to match two identical handbags and has left numerous parents completely confused. The reports about their confusion on social media site with an image of the taxing teaser. But one poster said: "I'm losing my mind. Can anyone help?"
It features 11 bags varying in colour and pattern and the puzzle question asks: "Only two of these handbags are the same. Can you draw a line between the matching pairs?" After it was posted on on the site it didn't take long for other Redditors to agree and share their confusion. One person wrote: "I feel like the person who did the line drawings and/or the puzzle-writer for this book was not communicating well with the person who did the colours."

Another Redditor asked: "Define 'same'. On colour blindness... bottom left, second top right. I'm not colour blind but that is the only thing that comes close to a match on design and styling, excluding colour." A third Reddit user added to the confusion, commenting: "Even the wording is wrong. It says to draw a line between the matching pairs (plural)... I thought there was only one matching pair?!"
Meanwhile a fourth person offered an explanation, saying: "Same same but different. I think this is purely a requirement thing. The two handbags are technically 'the same' if you separate out colour from being a difference which some people may do. The style of the handbag (handles/design/shape) is identical, but with different colours. Still insanely confusing wording though."
In the comments section, below one person boasted they had solved the teaser with ease. They said: "Got it in like literally 2 seconds, it's the bottom left corner one and the one below the top right corner. They're the same design and decoration it's just that the trick is the bags are all different colours."
The philosophical discussion continued with another person, pondering: "I presume it's designed to start an interesting discussion around 'What is same? Is it the same design? Does the colour prevent it being the same?" They continued: "Can two distinct bags be truly called 'the same'? What makes us think that these bags have all been illustrated contemporaneously?
"Maybe there's been some subtle modification of a single bag with a before and after image shown leading onto an interesting ship of Theseus tangent. Stepping back maybe we've learnt that nothing's actually the same, and we should fight against the ills of the caused by such simplistic thinking."
