Twelve beautiful old-fashioned compasses are arranged in a neat grid. Every brass case and red pointer looks almost the same, so your eyes may skip right over the one that is different.
Here’s what to compare
Do not focus only on the compass needles. Look at the direction letters around the faces: N for north, S for south, E for east and W for west. A single change in those labels can make one compass stand apart.
Answer and explanation
The odd compass is in the second row, third column. On that compass, E appears on the left and W appears on the right. All the other compasses show W on the left and E on the right.
Once you notice the reversed letters, the difference becomes much easier to see. How quickly did you spot it?
