Puzzle

US Version

In a quiet town, there's a tower that commands a view of the whole town.

Since you can see the whole town from the tower, logic dictates you should be able to see the top of the tower from anywhere in town.

However, there's one place in town shown on the map below from which you clearly have no chance of seeing the top of the tower. Find and circle this place.

UK Version

In one quiet town, there's a tower that commands a view of the whole town.

Since you can see every building in town from the tower, logic dictates that you should be able to see the top of the tower from any building in town. As you can see on the map shown below, however, there's one building in town from which you clearly have no chance of seeing the top of the tower, no matter which window you look out of.

Can you find this building?
