Waldo is easy to find in several places, how does your friend know
that the Waldo you cut out is from the same picture he's been given?

I have kids, I've played this game with them (where I or they had to
prove they found him). Its impossible without giving it away and tell
them where Waldo is OR giving them the information needed to verify
you knew AFTER they have either found him themselves or given up (and
I don't let my kids give up).
