You might be tempted to give up when it seems that none of the umbrellas match the conditions given.

US Version

The blue handle and the red rim should be easy to spot.

UK Version

The blue handle and the red rim should be easy to spot, but you might need to use a little more imagination when thinking about the last condition.

US Version

It would be difficult to solve this puzzle based solely on the images of the umbrellas as presented.

However, they may look different when the umbrellas are actually being used to protect someone from the rain.

UK Version

Just staring at the images of the umbrellas as presented won't lead you to the answer. Think about how the umbrellas would actually look when being used in the rain.

US Version

Try to visualize the young lady holding the umbrella while it's open. Even better, try to imagine how each open umbrella would look from a bird's-eye point of view.

You can see clearly now, right?
