CAN YOU FIND THE 15 DIFFERENCES?
Your brain is built for this. Keep it that way.
Spotting tiny changes takes focus, a sharp memory and a little patience. Middle school is when your brain gets really good at all three, and every difference you find is proof.
â–· Most of your classmates aren't drinking. About 92% of Illinois 8th graders didn't drink alcohol in the past month. Saying no isn't the odd move. It's the normal one.
â–· Your memory is on the line, right now. Even a small amount of alcohol can mess with your memory while it's in your system. That's the same skill you're using on this puzzle.
So grab a pencil, track down all 15, and keep your brain doing what it does best: noticing what others miss.
