Man-Made Picture Quiz Answers

98 solved man-made close-up puzzles from the WotsThat community. Tap any card to see the reveal and the object behind the crop.

These are the everyday things people build, print, mould and manufacture: keys, zips, coins, cables, bottle caps and the hundreds of small objects you handle without thinking. In this close-up picture quiz they are cropped so tightly that a familiar shape turns into a strange landscape of ridges, threads and glossy plastic.

Man-made objects are tricky because factories repeat patterns perfectly, and a tiny section of a repeat gives away almost nothing about the whole. Look for tell-tale signs of production such as mould lines, stamped lettering, screw threads or perfectly even spacing. If the surface looks too regular to be natural, start thinking about what in your kitchen drawer or toolbox could have made it.
