You’ve got 15 seconds to pick the trick from the cauldron of treats

Halloween’s all about scary movies, pumpkin carving and, of course, begging for things from strangers under some sort of veiled threat. Most folk readily hand over the treats, but occasionally you see the odd trick. Can you find the one trick among the treats here? (Picture: PriceListo)

Manage to uncover the trick from the treats? That’s right, it was down there the whole time. (Picture: PriceListo)

Can you spot the cleverly hidden flags in under a minute?

This one might test you. Those responsible for this entirely fake (yep, it’s not real) F1 track have secreted a trio of flags about the place. A yellow one, a red one and the all important chequered one. Can you track them all down before the end of the (also fictional) race? (Picture: Zego)
