Feels like we're back to Magic Eye puzzles!

Good choice though - hoping to see the first Arctic fox of the day was always my favourite part of Christmas.

Feel free to find a best UDG. This is just a random flash animation that I got by chance with a tool.

Sorry - kidding! I mean I can't see the Arctic fox in the UDG. (As I understand it, if we ever had Arctic foxes here, it was back the ice age.)

We need the traditional version of the Xmas tree, where the buyer has once again, for the tenth consecutive year, underestimated the tree height/overestimated their room's ceiling height, when buying the tree.

Thus the top of the tree is mashed against the ceiling and teetering to one side.

Who needs a badly-estimated ceiling height when, just down the road from me, there's... this?

Aah - interesting. We don't have those in the UK, but we have the Toby Jug, which is not a million miles away. These days, they are more a running joke of being an unwanted present that you have to display when visitors come to prove you haven't binned it.

And I've just tried a Toby Jug UDG and failed.
