So far the post has been shared 18,000 times, with people from all over the world unable to locate the device.
In a follow-up Facebook post, Cruz wrote: "Thank you everyone, I can't believe this would become viral. I'm sorry if it made your eyes hurt and head ache ... Thank you again!"
In a poll, 48 per cent of Daily Telegraph readers "failed miserably" at the challenge, although 30 per cent claimed they could find the phone in less than ten seconds.
