Can YOU find the mistake? Shoppers puzzled over a HUGE error in one mum’s purchase - “Am I going blind?”
- Replies 1
This subtle but huge flaw in one of Kmart’s products will put your observation skills to the test! One mum noticed an awkward mistake on the Kmart Learning Time Skills Activity Set she picked up for her kids from the retail giant and shared a picture of it on a popular Facebook group.
'Spotted a Kmart mistake,' she captioned the post alongside an image of the educational aid containing the camouflaged error. The photo shows the time set to 9:30, displaying how it would look like in both digital and analogue clocks.
Users searched high and low for the error to no avail - the item just seemed to be faultless… But only at first glance.

“Am I going blind or is this a joke?” asked one woman. “I can't seem to see anything wrong with the toy.”
“I put my glasses on for this and still can't see anything.” another chimed in.
But not everyone was as oblivious. Some users teased fellow commenters about how long it took them to spot the mistake.
“It took me forty-five seconds to find,” wrote one person. “Or maybe five seconds... I'm not entirely sure.”
“Ooooooooh – it took me ages.” added another.
While a third wrote: “OMG, I thought it was that the hands would have been better off with opposite colours. I couldn’t even read that!”
Eventually, the gag was revealed to be a missing number on the ‘seconds’ circuit of the analogue clock. If you look a little closer, the clock’s forty-five second mark is missing a ‘4’, appearing to be labelled as ‘5 seconds’ instead of ‘45’.
Several people slammed Kmart for their failure to recognise the mistake before mass-producing the educational aid product.
“Does anyone even quality-check this before it goes to print? It's irresponsible.” one man criticised.
“Of course they would make such a mistake. You can't expect quality from something so cheap.” added another.
But others completely dismissed the mistake and thought it was a tiny error with an easy fix.
“This is not a problem - just get a little blue marker and you're golden.” a user suggested.
“Such an easy fix,” said another. “It could be a learning curve for the little ones.”
