Look closely at this image. Three prisoners in orange uniforms are sitting chained to seats inside a prison transport bus. At first glance they all look equally trapped, and the question “Who Can Escape? Do You See Anything Wrong?” seems impossible to answer quickly. Most people immediately start staring at their faces and hands trying to find a clue.

The trick is that our brain focuses on the most obvious actions. Person B is flashing a peace sign and smiling, which makes many think he is free, but the real detail is much lower. If you ignore the upper body for a moment and look at what really holds a prisoner down, you will notice something strange. The true flaw in the security is not in the hands at all.

The one who actually has a chance to escape is Person A because his iron shackles at his feet are loose. While Person B and Person C have their ankle restraints tightly locked and secured to the floor chain, Person A’s restraints are completely open and hanging loose around his ankles. He is not actually secured to the chair. All he has to do is stand up and walk away, while the other two would still be physically chained down.

This is why almost everyone gets this puzzle wrong in the first few seconds. They look for a clever hand trick when the answer has been at the bottom of the image the whole time. Did you spot it before reading the answer? Share this with your friends and see who gets it right.
