Evan Era shared a video of himself giving four other people a simple puzzle to solve.

Evan, who is on TikTok as @evaneramagic, showed how the ‘mistake puzzle’ was handwritten.

On a background of white paper is the message “can you spot the mistake” written in black.

Below was a series of numbers, each in a different bright color from green to pink.

The man behind the camera then asked the other adults, “Can you spot the mistake?

“Okay, well see if you can figure this out.”

He added: “It’s hard.”

Evan then watched as the group came together in an attempt to get to the bottom of the matter.

First, they read the text slowly, concentrating on repeating the words.

However, when they realized that it was written correctly and that there were no repetitions, they paid attention to the series of numbers below.

But, again, they didn’t think anything of it when they realized that the numbers were simply 9 – 0 in reverse order.

Their second theory was that the colors could be “rainbow colors” – but this again led them to a dead end.

Other speculations the group pondered included whether it was suspicious that everything was written in uppercase letters, with no lowercase letters.

And by the end of the video, they were none the wiser and left scratching their heads.

Meanwhile, Evan asked his 2 million followers if they could solve the case – so do you know what the problem is?

Fellow social media users were quick to offer their suggestions and there seemed to be a runaway winner – and it all had to do with punctuation.

One person wrote: “No question mark.”

Another said: “Should be? at the end of the sentence.”

While a third added: “It’s a mistake not to have a question mark and he needs one due to the fact that it’s a question and not a statement.”
