You’ve beat the record if you can figure out which is the correct game of ‘Operation’ in under 9 seconds
A BRAINTEASER inspired by a popular childhood game is inducing nostalgia among puzzlers.
Can you spot the correct version of the classic Operation game?
Patient Claim Line is a UK-based Medical Negligence Solicitors company, owned and operated by Fletchers Solicitors.
They created a fun seek-and-find puzzle to put observation skills to the test.
Kids and adults alike have enjoyed playing Operation for almost 60 years, with the game having debuted in 1965.
It’s likely been a while since you picked up the tweezers and challenged yourself to pick up as many parts as possible without setting the buzzer off.
So, how quickly can you spot the authentic version of the family-favorite board game?
Set a timer to find out if you can beat the nine-second record.
The creators of the challenge moved around the 13 ailments featured in the game, which are as follows:
- Adam’s Apple
- Broken Heart
- Wrenched Ankle
- Butterflies in Stomach
- Spare Ribs
- Water on the Knee
- Funny Bone
- Charlie Horse
- Writer’s Cramp
- Ankle Bone Connected to the Knee Bone
- Wish Bone
- Brain Freeze
- Bread Basket
Water on the knee appears to stay in the same place in all three of the images.
You’ll need to be an anatomy whizz to spot the telltale signs that two of the games aren’t correct.
Here’s a hint: The Adam’s Apple should be on the throat.
If you need another clue, consider that a writer’s cramp would be felt in the wrist.
