All numbers are written in white font on a red background, including odd numbers.
We can reveal that the confusing number is 690 and it’s hiding in plain sight.
Despite appearing right under your nose, the impostor is almost impossible to detect.
If you are having difficulty, we recommend focusing on the right side of the image.
Scan the columns and rows carefully, focusing on the beginning of each number.
If you still can’t spot the 690 among the 960, pay special attention to the lines in the middle of the image.
Keeping in mind our previous advice to look at the right side of the image, see if you can spot the 690 in the reduced area.
If you didn’t identify the odd number, count five columns from the right edge of the image.
Now count eight lines from the top of the image and you will see 690.
For those who are still struggling, the number is circled in the answer key below.

For those who haven’t noticed the spelling error yet, try focusing on the lines in the middle of the image.
