Wow! That's even freakier on the computer screen.

A definite congratulations goes out here! Excellent job!

Are these lines straight or crooked? (http://home.rochester.rr.com/ebaumswebworld/cafe.html)

Uh, straight! No no, crooked! No, wait a minute....7?

I hate optical illusions like that. They just really hurt your eyes. Oww.

[Frozen]

Don't look at the lines - look at the SQUARES. Straight lines, beyond a doubt...

I think! :D

[Singin' Stray Cat]

Count the black dots? Oy...can I count the black squares instead, if I get a note from my optometrist? :D Okay, you're right, it wouldn't be as much fun that way.

Thanks for the neat trick!

Oh, boy I got a headache now...almost as bad as the illusion someone posted a while back where you had to stare at the screen for an entire minute for it to work...that's pretty cool though, I like optical illusions! :D

[Kal-el]

Ouch! Extreme, shooting pain in my head! What were the questions?...are the black dots crooked? I'm not sure anymore...

[Batgirl_2005]

oweee... i don't think I should have looked at those before doing homework...

The lines are straight... and there are NO black dots! it's all in your head!!! er... at least that's what the voices tell me. ^^

[optimal321]

Heh, that reminds me of my science fair project last year on optical illusions. Congrats btw.

[Jowy Blight]

Uh, Congrats on 400 posts Frozen.:) Man, that is really making my head hurt.........

[The Mad Hatter]

Now, I knew this board would fry my mind, but my optical nerves?

I still have two decks of cards that have a different optical tease on them, and they were a blast. Still, it's impossible to play poker with them, since everyone would gawk at the illusions...

*rocks back and forth, curled up in a ball * Black dots... so very many dots... my poor, fragile eyes...

[Frozen]

Here's another amusing e-mail I've just had, in a similiar vein...

Quick Eye Exam...
This will blow your mind...!
Just do it - don't cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try this its actually quite good.

But don't cheat!

Count the number of F's in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS



Managed it?

Scroll down only after you have counted them!









OK?

How many?

Three?









Wrong, there are six - no joke!



Read again!




FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS





The reasoning is further down...



The brain cannot process the word "OF".


Incredible or what?

Anyone who counts all six F's on the first go is a genius

Three is normal.

Well, I only got three the first time... :o How about you guys..?

[Danielle]

Uh-oh..........uuuuuuuhhhhhhh, I counted six. Does that mean I'm a genius?












Nah. :D


Try this one. (http://www.sandlotscience.com/Impossible/impos_frm.htm) Can anyone seeeeeeeeeeee?

[Singin' Stray Cat]

I counted five the first time. Then again, I have been taking a typography class, maybe that's an unfair advantage. :p

[electricsheep]

45? doh... :p

[Stinky Cat]

OUCH! THAT DOES HURT YOUR EYES!!!!!!!!!

[Calhoun07]

You know what, I got 5 F's the first time I read thru it, then I saw it's supposed to be 6. I counted two "of"s, but missed the third. Actually, it was the second "of" in the sentence I was missing. Man, that was kinda hard, actually.

[TuffyCatt]

Heh, heh...I got three...so did my friend. But then my mom got six. Oh well, I thought I was smart, but guess not.... :p
