Power lines are a regular part of our day-to-day lives now as they carry electricity through the world, but when were they first invented?

At first glance, it might look like a simple picture, but there's a hidden challenge waiting to be solved. Placed boldly at the top of the image is the question: “How many duck you can count?”— ...
