🔍 Example Walkthrough:
Let’s say you're looking for
candy canes:
- Scan the image carefully.
- You'll see candy canes scattered throughout — some upright, some tilted, some even held by characters.
- Count them all — you should find
5.
Same goes for
gingerbread men — look for the little cookie-shaped figures with buttons and smiling faces. There are
8 of them.
And for
snowflakes — they’re all over the place, especially near the top and middle. Count them carefully — there are
10.
