Easter, is soon, Easter is soon, Easter is soon, Easter is...

If I keep saying it will it come around any quicker? No. But still, how lovely is the prospect of a long weekend with friends, family and enough chocolate to induce a food coma? What does everyone have planned for the break ahead?

So good news...the April issue is on sale today! It's a fab issue, packed with a tonne of great stuff including everything on the new iPad and Apple TV.

But I have a challenge I'd like to put before you, should you choose to accept. Check out the cover (pic attached) and see if you can spot something special on it. Winner gets a super-expensive pat on the back. Or a half price Easter egg after the holidays.

I think you are both wrong, or maybe I am wrong.

Is it the twitter and Facebook logo, on the left hand side ?

Nope Qr code is not new...nor the social media icons look a litttttttle closer. Clue - it's in the background. Perhaps the image I supplied is not large enough. It becomes a lot clearer when you have the actual product in your hands.

All the numbers are back-to-front. Are we inside an iPad looking out?

I give up, but I think we have struck on an idea, let's get grace to add a puzzle to the mag every month, and the first correct entery on the forums wins a prize... How about it Dave ?

There's Hexagons all over the background which is the same pattern on the side of the iPhone sound system featured on the front cover.

Not a bad idea, Ken!

I'll leave it to Grace to give you a clue.

Well I have to pick my mag up tomorrow, when I do my banking ( news agent is next door) so I will be doing some studying. To see if I can spot the difference.

The clue is in the details...background details to be precise. But it may have been premature to send a small pic and ask you to guess.

I'm sure we can come up with a puzzle like this each issue Ken -great idea! We'll put it out on social media for readers to jump on here to enter.

In the mean time, keep the guesses coming. This one is tricky, I'll admit!
