The official page of Reddit shared the post on Instagram one day ago and it has got over 4,000 likes so far. “It only took 11 minutes for u/DirtyPartyMan to find the screw,” Reddit posted as caption to the photo.

The photo was originally shared by a person named common_citizen_00001 on Reddit one month ago. He had written in the post that he dropped a small screw somewhere in the area shown in the photo. He needed it to hold the new rubber seal on the inside of a faucet. “Anyone out there care for a game of “I Spy”?” he further wrote in the post.

The user named u/DirtyPartyMan solved the mystery as he wrote, “Found it. Start with the big weed on the bottom left. Drag your eyes across. Past the little weed. Then past the half-way point. Once you cross the smaller gravel river (foot print? I dunno. I’m zoomed in like a *******) it’s there just below a domed, pinkish “ghost” rock.”

“How cool is it that a human now a days can magically snap a moment of reality and share it instantly with many other humans across great distances in order to get help with a problem/challenge. The almost instant connection humans have is unreal, still till this day, I feel this way. Humans have come a long way,” another Reddit user commented.
“Just get a magnet, love,” an Instagram user had commented. “Love the Reddit community so much. This is a prime example of why,” said another individual.

What do you think about this post and how long did it take you to find the screw?
