Reading lips is DC 15 and realizing something is invisible nearby is DC 20, then obviously there is the Hide vs Spot but there don't seem to be any near impossible feats like there are for balance, swim, jump etc. looking for ideas and their prospective DCs.

It is especially handy in combat to prepare for the second rush, notice a creature that turned invisible without burning a move action, or follow a creature attempting to flee through cover. On the side it gives you a +2 to initiative which is always nice. I believe that it is in CA...
