Then again, not knowing how to construct such odds, rolling individually in the first place might be easier. Penalties for simultaneous spotting should be fine so long are small and don't make the end result more likely to spot nothing at all.
We could strait up use the rapid fire rules for how many things are spotted, and for the bonus given. Its not as generous as it could be, but its a decent aproximation.

For choosing between the two shoes if the PC only sees one, a quick contest of the two per checks probably gives a reasonable results.

How are you feeling about the +4 for being against a uniform background?
