A rivet is a special kind of bolt used to fasten two pieces of metal together. The most familiar kind is shaped a bit like a mushroom, but rivets come in many shapes and sizes. Rivets are often heated to very high temperatures and then pressed through pre-cut holes in the metal. Then the flat end is hammered to create a seal. As the metal cools, it forms a tight closure.
Find the two identical rivets.
