'I'm lost': Puzzle for 3yos stumps parents everywhere

"It's been two weeks and no one can solve it."

A school bus driver was left baffled when she and the children she drives couldn't locate a heart shape in a cartoon puzzle meant for three-year-olds.

Taking to Reddit, the woman shared an image of the brainteaser.

It's a two-page spread from a children's activity book titled "My First Hidden Pictures," which is aimed at children aged three to six.

The theme is "Cars Take a Rest," and it features a scene with animated cars at a rest stop and a drive-in cinema.

The baffling brainteaser

The goal of the activity is to find hidden objects within the picture.

The objects to find, listed below the scene, include:

• Domino
• Popcorn
• Heart
• Moon
• Ruler
• Crown
• Ice-cream cone
• Basketball
• Diamond

These objects are all camouflaged within the scene, hidden among the car parts, other objects, and in the background.

But some are much harder to find than others, as the woman discovered.

She captioned her post: "I drive a school bus. The kids love the hidden pictures in magazines I bring for them.

"We have all tried but can’t find the heart? Please help."

She then admits it's been over "two weeks" and no one can figure it out still.

"I'm missing it too"

Most commenters were equally as stuck as the poster and couldn't work out the brainteaser despite their determination.

"Ok people. This is not a drill. This is what we have been training for. Wipe your eyes and grab your snacks. It's go time baby!" someone joked.

"Nup, I'm missing it too," someone revealed.

"I can't find it either, like the OP," another said.

"Me, my wife and my kids couldn't solve this either," one dad said.

Then finally, one eagle-eyed viewer hit the jackpot.

"It’s above the snacks vending machine," they said.

And someone else clarified, "Yes, under the car port cover, above the snack vending machine."

"That should not have been as hard as it was for me to find!" someone replied.

"THANK YOU LORD. That was hard," someone else concluded.
