US Version

The shape is hidden in plain sight.

It can be hard to find because of the contrasting patterns, but it's definitely there. Look very closely.

UK Version

The shape is visible from the very start, but it's hard for the eye to pick out. Be sure to keep your focus.

US Version

The lines can be very distracting and help to hide the shape you're looking for. Try using the Memo function to draw several plus signs here and there, and see if it helps reveal anything.

UK Version

You can get distracted by all the lines and have trouble finding the shape's outline. Try drawing some plus signs using the Memo Function to see if that helps.

US Version

Pay close attention to the upper section. The shape is hiding in there somewhere.

UK Version

It's the top half you need to focus on. There should be one place where a plus sign can be drawn.

US Version

The plus sign is hidden in the upper-right corner.

UK Version

Look carefully at the top-right. That's where the plus sign is hiding.
