Two Mistakes at This Motel Writing Desk: Answer

Did you get it right?

This motel writing-desk puzzle shows paper postcards, a rotary phone, stamps, an ashtray, a lamp, tourist brochures, and old pens. Two writing details are too modern.

The Answer

The correct answer is: The peel-and-stick stamp backing strip and the disposable gel-pen rubber grip are the two mistakes..

Here is why

  • The postcards, rotary phone, lamp, tourist brochure, and old desk items fit the 1970s motel scene.
  • The stamp sheet has a modern peel-and-stick backing strip.
  • One pen has a disposable gel-pen rubber grip, which is the second modern clue.

Why people miss it

A writing desk naturally has paper, stamps, postcards, and pens, so modern stationery details do not jump out right away.
