This picture is the Rorschach test of US election images. By staring deeply into it and then reporting your impression, without self-censorship, you can tell what you really think about the elections and who will ultimately win next Tuesday.

The picture was taken on the campaign trail last Sunday. There's a story behind it, but first - your reaction to the picture. Take another look. In your opinion does the President look:

a) smug?

b) exhausted?

c) stoned?

d) dejected?

e) wise?

f) none of the above (please suggest alternatives in the comments below)?

Now for the truth: President Obama had apparently dialed the wrong number while making calls in a local campaign field office in Orlando, Florida. This picture captures his reaction.

Answers: a) You are a Republican voter sensing defeat on the horizon. You hate poor people. b) You are an over-empathising wishy-washy liberal. You had muesli for breakfast. c) You are stoned d) You've had a really bad week, and suspect the weekend will be even worse e) You have absentee father issues
