Even the pro players are left scratching their heads and finding it extremely difficult to spot the hidden amphibian. Do try out this mind-boggling challenge to test your observational skills, as it will surely provide critical insights about your visual abilities.

Even the pro players are left scratching their heads and finding it extremely difficult to spot the hidden amphibian. In the comments section of the post, a few people were able to identify the frog in the viral image. One person stated that it is placed almost in the "dead center" and people would be required to zoom in to spot it. "It's right under a little yellowish rock. Kind of a dark green frog with a bright green spot on its back," the user wrote. Another one added, "Dammit, that took me longer than it should have." A third user mentioned that the frog is present "a touch above and left from dead center, facing 1 o'clock".

Wednesday season 2 ending theory: Is Barry Dort just a decoy? Fans speculate entry of a new principal at Nevermore in season 3
Wednesday Season 2 Part 1 ended with a bloody fall, a missing villain, and a school on the edge of chaos. But fans aren't just talking about the cliffhanger or Tyler's return as the Hyde. Many believe that Nevermore Academy will see a new principal in Season 3, and the speculation is growing louder online. While nothing is confirmed, clues from the show's past and present, plus the teaser for Part 2, have convinced fans that the school's leadership is about to change again, possibly for good. Wednesday season 2 part 1 recap: Chaos returns to Nevermore The second season kicked off with new powers, more danger, and Wednesday seeing dark visions once again. The Addams family returned in full force. Pugsley's electric abilities were revealed, and Uncle Fester played a key role. But things quickly went off the rails. A mysterious murder took place. Tyler, the Hyde, escaped from captivity. And in the final moments of Episode 4, Wednesday was thrown out of a window, bloodied and unconscious, while Tyler disappeared into the forest. Wednesday also lost her powers this season. After seeing a vision of Enid's death, her psychic abilities faded, leaving her vulnerable and confused. The season left that thread hanging, too, no answers, only questions. The Principal theory: Fans say Wednesday season 3 will introduce a new leader at Nevermore After Larissa Weems died at the end of Season 1, Nevermore got a new principal in Barry Dort (played by Steve Buscemi). But fans aren't convinced he'll stick around. One theory on Reddit says, 'Weems was clearly gonna die. The current principal is an antagonist, so he's not gonna stick around for long. We'll almost certainly get a new principal come next season.' Another user believes he's a decoy villain: 'I think he's the cop-out antagonist who hides the real one of the season, but I think he's still going to die.' These theories have gained traction because Dort hasn't built real trust with viewers or students at Nevermore. His shady behaviour, odd decisions, and tense dynamic with Wednesday make fans feel like his time is limited. Plus, if Tyler returns to wreak havoc again, Nevermore will need stronger leadership or someone darker. Tyler's Return: Redemption arc or bigger villain? Season 2, Part 2's teaser shows a chained Tyler in Willow Hill hospital. But he's no longer just a teen hiding a secret. He's dangerous, unhinged, and planning something. Many think he'll rise as the show's big villain again. Some fans still believe in a possible redemption: 'Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to redeem Tyler, maybe even give him a twist like saving Wednesday.' But others see no way back: 'He literally killed people. Redemption shouldn't be on the table. He'll be the main villain again.' The teaser shows him face-to-face with Wednesday, and it's intense. His future could go either way, but one thing's certain: his presence will shake Nevermore again. What to expect in Wednesday season 2 part 2? Part 2 of Wednesday Season 2 is set to return on September 3, 2025, with even more mystery and supernatural drama. Fans are expecting big answers, especially around Wednesday's powers, Tyler's fate, and what's happening at Nevermore Academy. Whether the school gets a new principal or not, one thing is clear: something is brewing behind those gothic walls. FAQs Is a new principal confirmed in the Wednesday season 3? No official confirmation yet, but fan theories strongly suggest a new face is coming. Will Wednesday get her powers back? Possibly in Part 2, though it's unclear how. Trauma from her fall might trigger them. Is Tyler returning as the main villain in Wednesday season 2, part 2? Most likely, though some fans think there might be a twist or a redemption arc. When does Wednesday season 2 part 2 release? Wednesday season 2, part 2, releases on September 3, 2025, exclusively on Netflix.

She Launched Ranveer & Vaani, Gave Ahaan & Aneet 'Saiyaara', But Faced Heat Over Casting Choices
Last Updated: Shanoo Sharma's first major breakthrough came with Band Baaja Baaraat in 2010 when she spotted an unknown Ranveer Singh and pushed for his casting in a lead role The name behind the rise of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is now echoing louder than ever in film circles. With the unexpected success of Saiyaara, a Yash Raj Films production, much of the spotlight has turned to the woman who shaped its cast – casting director Shanoo Sharma. While the two fresh faces of Saiyaara are basking in glory, few know that this isn't the first time Shanoo has introduced stars who went on to become household names. Ranveer Singh, Vaani Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and even Arjun Kapoor all owe a piece of their early success to her keen eye for talent. Shanoo Sharma is not your typical industry insider. She didn't come with a famous last name or an inherited network. Instead, she began in the creative backstreets of Mumbai with theatre circuits, indie spaces, and offbeat gigs. It was her raw understanding of performance and presence that caught the attention of none other than Aditya Chopra, who brought her into Yash Raj Films at a time when the studio was redefining its image for a new generation. Shanoo's first major breakthrough came with Band Baaja Baaraat in 2010 when she spotted an unknown Ranveer Singh and pushed for his casting in a lead role. The gamble paid off. The film was a hit, and Ranveer became an overnight sensation. That marked the beginning of a streak. Bhumi Pednekar followed, a casting choice few expected. At the time, Bhumi was working behind the scenes at YRF. But Shanoo saw potential and cast her in Dum Laga Ke Haisha. Similarly, Vaani Kapoor, who made waves with Shuddh Desi Romance, was handpicked and groomed by her. Even Anushka Sharma, widely seen as Aditya Chopra's discovery in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, had early support from Shanoo during her selection process. While the final decision rested with the director, those in the know credit Shanoo for strongly backing the then-unknown model from Bengaluru. But her casting process is no walk in the park. Known for her exhaustive audition routines, Shanoo often sits through hundreds of screen tests. She doesn't restrict herself to film families or elite circles. Many of her picks come from outside Mumbai, often from small towns or unconventional backgrounds. Her emphasis is on performance, screen presence, and the elusive X-factor. Yet, it hasn't all been smooth sailing. For all the stars she's helped rise, Shanoo Sharma had also found herself in the middle of a serious controversy. Following the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, her name surfaced on social media and forums like Reddit in discussions around alleged casting biases and the opaque nature of YRF's internal processes. Accusations of favouritism, 'get-tipping", and discrimination were flung at her, though no formal charges were filed. The Mumbai Police even summoned her during their investigation into Sushant Singh Rajput's case, focusing on contractual issues related to YRF's talent management. Shanoo stayed away from the spotlight during that phase, but the whispers around her name never quite faded. Some see her as a power-wielder in an industry with few gatekeepers; others argue she's one of the few who has genuinely tried to break the nepotism cycle by introducing fresh talent.
