LONDON -- You'd think that spotting a panda in a crowd of snowmen would be the easiest thing in the world, but you'd be wrong.

Hungarian artist Dudolf's Where's Wally-style cartoon, which challenges people to find the panda in a bustling crowd of cheery-looking snowmen, is one of those puzzles you'll find yourself staring at for ages in steadily mounting frustration.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));There's a panda amongst them!Can you find it?Posted by Dudolf on Wednesday, December 16, 2015

Dudolf posted the puzzle last Wednesday, and it's already been shared well over 100,000 times.

If you haven't found the panda yet, don't give up; it's there, and this is definitely one of those puzzles where you won't be able to unsee the thing once you've finally spotted it.
