IT takes extreme willpower not to give up searching when you drop a tiny item – especially if it can easily be replaced without spending much money.
So, do you have the patience to spot the lost bobby pin?
Many of us wouldn’t bother to get on our hands and knees to search for the pronged hairpin when a new pack costs just $1.
However, a Reddit user on the Find The Sniper forum was determined to find his wife’s bobby pin dropped on fake grass.
“She was like ‘I’ll never find it’ and I said ‘NOT WITH THAT ATTITUDE,’” he said, writing under the handle Bigwilly311.
You’ll need 20/20 vision to find the bobby pin photographed in under 17 seconds.
Are you willing to set a timer and get searching?
Over 2,000 people upvoted the post on Reddit and many took to the comment section to make jokes about the difficult challenge.
“That bobby pin belongs to God now,” one person said.
“Literally trying to get us to find the needle in a haystack,” another wrote.
“Nope, I wouldn’t even bother. It’s gone,” a third commented.
Another puzzler said they failed to beat the clock but they didn’t give up on the brainteaser until they found the bobby pin.
“Almost scrolled right past this one, thinking ‘hell no!’….but only took me about 45 seconds,” they wrote.
Everyone can see the shadows on the fake grass, but the bobby pin is deceptively tricky to spot.

Can you spot the “whittle baby” cat in their backyard?
You’ll need to block out all distractions to find the mischievous moggy in 9 seconds or less.
At first glance, the photo doesn’t seem to have many places where the cat could be hiding.
Once you’ve looked behind the plant pot and around the fence it’s easy to think the brainteaser is a trick.
However, focus your search on the areas with tall grass.
