[Hassan C]

Some of these are really cool - thanks for posting! :)

[abdussattar]

How do optical illusions work? they're so confusing :X :?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

How do optical illusions work? they're so confusing :X :?

:sl:

There are many factors that cause us to see optical illusions. some are cultural based upon what we have seen in the past so we anticipate movement and perceive movement were ther is no. another facto is we have stereo-optic vision and try to see all things in 3 dimensions even though they are 2 dimensional. May illusions can not be seen if we close one eye.

There are also things like retinal fatigue and involuntary eye movement that cause other types of illusions. Oddly there seems to be a correlation between the types of illusions a person sees and the persons intelligence. Back in the 1960s I and a few others tried to design an unbiased IQ test based on the illusions a person sees we did find that generally the higher IQ a person has the more illusions they can see. But we never could nail down a measurable and replicable correlation to design a valid test.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

:sl:

The cat is actually not rotating, it is moving back and forth. we are anticipating rotation so we don't catch the flipping back and forth. If you know it is just simply rapidly mocing back and forth with a slight pause at the side motion, you should be able to notice the flipping. If you stare at the left side it will appear to move in one direction and if you stare at the right side it will seem to rotate in the opposite direction. If you concentrate on the center it will seem to randomly change direction.

Omg really, Subhaan`Allaah!

Thats kinda kool Jazakallahu Khaayr for the explanation, *checks it out again* : D

[~Raindrop~]

I can only see the cat revolving one way- anti-clockwise. Try as I might, I cant get it to go the other way :-\

[S.Belle]

I can only see the cat revolving one way- anti-clockwise. Try as I might, I cant get it to go the other way :-\

lol i got it to move both ways :p it was really hard though
you know how there is like a lighter grey circle that kinda blends into the darker grey background what i did was trace the circle with my eyes in the opposite direction that the cat was turning and then after a few moments it started moving in the direction that I followed

[abdussattar]

I cant get it to go the other way

Yeah, me too :hmm:

[Woodrow]

Yeah, me too :hmm:

Try closing one eye and see if it changes based on which eye you look at it with. Somepeople have a very dominate eye and the view from that one eye prevents other views.

[Woodrow]

There actually is nothing moving in the cat animation, it is composed of 35 separate images each shown for 1/16 of a second in the following sequence and repeating endlessly.

What we see are images facing from left to right in sequence. it is our brain's interpretation of these single images that we perceive as motion. Several "tricks" can be used to get it to appear to change direction.

close one eye, look mainly at either the left side and then the right side, do not look directly at the cat look at the lower right corner and then the lower left. different things will work for different people.

We can not distinguish one picture as an individual picture as our retina takes about 1/12 of a second to refresh so we perceive the sequence as motion when in reality nothing is moving.

[abdussattar]

close one eye, look mainly at either the left side and then the right side, do not look directly at the cat look at the lower right corner and then the lower left. different things will work for different people.

It finally worked!!!

But I can't change it back... It was moving right.. when I closed one eye, it started moving left.. but now i cant get it move to the right :embarrass:

Weird...

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

omg it worked, but i still dont get it :-\

Thats awesome

[Cabdullahi]

roger milla is at it again!


cool website

[S.Belle]

i dont get this one

Keep staring. This is one scary optical illusion. Keep looking, it might take up to a minute, but it'll look like she's opened her eyes

:hmm: nothing happened....

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Ughhh my my shes scary looking . . . .

[~Raindrop~]

keep looking at her eyelids, its as though shes looking at you with gothic eyes after a bit lol

[S.Belle]

^Ughhh my my shes scary looking . . . .

i know right its kinda creepy to look at....... I think maybe that is why i cant seem to get this illusion to work lol

I thought this one was nice as well

If at first you can not read this, close your eyes 90% and try again

[Amoeba]

http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/b...sion-2/1400186

This one has a major flaw. The corner is supposed to be either outwards or inwards depending on how you look at it. But in truth it's just that the top half gives the effect of facing inwards while the bottom half gives the effect of facing outwards. It doesn't give the effect of an illusion, it just gives the effect of conflicting perspective in the same picture.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

i know right its kinda creepy to look at....... I think maybe that is why i cant seem to get this illusion to work lol

I thought this one was nice as well

If at first you can not read this, close your eyes 90% and try again

LOL that one is wicked! lool :-\ and i cant believe i just did that weird thing with my eyes :-\

[abdussattar]

Eww staring at that creepy non-mahram woman scares me...

[/URL]

Omg that is so awesomely weirdly coolly true !!

['Abd Al-Maajid]

I liked the sine wave illusion.

i dont get this one

Keep staring. This is one scary optical illusion. Keep looking, it might take up to a minute, but it'll look like she's opened her eyes

And this one's scary :ermm:

[S.Belle]

If you stare at one yellow dot for a while, the other yellow dots disappear

Can you find "the hidden tiger"? Not the obvious one that everyone sees.
*Hint Look for words in stripes

There should be 11 faces on this picture. Average people see 4-6, sensible 8-10. The best see all 11, schizophrenics and paranoids 12 and more.

I see 9

[abdussattar]

schizophrenics and paranoids

Who are these? :-\

['Abd Al-Maajid]

I saw 17 [And I believe there are more. :X]...and yes, I am paranoid.

[abdussattar]

What does paranoid mean? :(

['Abd Al-Maajid]

Paranoid = Relating to, characteristic of, or affected with paranoia.
Paranoia = 1. A psychotic disorder characterized by delusions of persecution with or without grandeur, often strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason.

It's a 'disease' lol ;D

[abdussattar]

delusions of persecution with or without grandeur, often strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason.

Please use english only:(


heres one puzzle

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ What kinda puzzle is that? Someone might have erased the cell and placed the dot. :ermm:

[abdussattar]

No. All the squares are there. If you want to count, be free to count

[S.Belle]

I saw 17 [And I believe there are more. :X]...and yes, I am paranoid.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Lol wow bro you just broke a record *throws confetti*
the site where I got this from said the highest they found was 13

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ That's not a good sign...That proves I am a paranoid.

[S.Belle]

^ That not a good sign...That proves I am a paranoid.

maybe you were just overthinking it bc 4 of those really didnt look like faces

['Abd Al-Maajid]

:hmm: But I don't agree that those faces with red scribbles on are just my imagination. Those were clear faces I saw.

:-\

Please use english only:(

I know right! :-\

[S.Belle]

ok the blue circle does slightly look like a face but I do not see any in the purple circled ones...maybe outline the face you see bc im not really seeing it

[S.Belle]

Ok this one is super cool
see if you can spot it
*hint if you give up just cross your eyes and look at it lol

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Its a bear eh?

woaahhh that kinda hurts the eyes :-\

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Is it an illusion or just the image is slightly darkened in that area, where the bear seems to be? Because I need not cross my eyes to notice the figure.

[S.Belle]

yes its a bear

no i think they just got a pic of the bear (and maybe made it into a watercolor..?) and put those lines in front of it
i think maybe the scrolling helped you see it bc when i scrolled down I was able to see it clearly... or you sit somewhat far from your computer ( if you backup and look you can see it also)

ok so the bear illusion was a FAIL so try to find all 9 hidden people (most of them are face)

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Lol the ear is a person hahahaha LOL


This is geeky, sis your geeky! :-\

[S.Belle]

^Lol the ear is a person hahahaha LOL


This is geeky, sis your geeky! :-\

Thanks....lol i have noticed u say "geeky" alot so i will take this as a compliment :p
you only found 1??

['Abd Al-Maajid]

I found 11 :embarrass

[S.Belle]

I found 11 :embarrass

You were suppose to stop at 9 LOL
how in the world did you find 11 i only found 6?

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ That is why I am embarrassed and I am reluctant to upload the image...:-\

[S.Belle]

^ That is why I am embarrassed and I am reluctant to upload the image...:-\

ah come on just do it bro
I'm very curious as to how....Please

ok this is the last pic for today
What do you see?

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Okay...But If you find it funny please don't 'LOL' at me :embarrass

You may want to download and zoom it to look further clearly.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

[S.Belle]

Ok i want sorries

heres the answer key thingy (they left out the 6th one)

did you count number 5 twice?
and umm human faces so i dont think the dog counts.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

Yes, cause there are two faces there.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Thanks....lol i have noticed u say "geeky" alot so i will take this as a compliment :p
you only found 1??

lol sis yeah i do :-\

I found atleast 6 :-\

So yeah

[Trumble]

:hmm: But I don't agree that those faces with red scribbles on are just my imagination. Those were clear faces I saw.

I think the whole point is that people's perceptions, and imaginations, differ. I counted 11, but having looked at yours I'm up to 12.. but I 'agree' with Mila on all four she marked in red. But, the one directly to the right of the leftmost red cross I can't see as a face for the life of me, yet obviously both yourself and Mila can!

[abdussattar]

I found 11 :embarrass

Paranoid........

['Abd Al-Maajid]

ok this is the last pic for today
What do you see?

I see beetles, ladybugs, ants etc.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

ah come on just do it bro
I'm very curious as to how....Please

ok this is the last pic for today
What do you see?

And i see lil Insects :-\

[S.Belle]

see it now?

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Mickey Mouse? Huh, that stupid mouse! ;D

[S.Belle]

yes its mickey

A clever use of the arabic script to make it look almost unreadable yet it’s actually in english. In total I would say it took me around two minutes to fully understand the hidden message, give it a shot and let me know what you uncovered.

there should be 13

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ 'GET BACK TO WORK' ;D Good one. Took me 15-20 seconds :X
Yeah, I found 13 orcas.

[S.Belle]

good job it took me a while with the arabic text illusion

find all the animals and faces

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Found 9 faces and animals. Are there more?

[S.Belle]

^ Found 9 faces and animals. Are there more?

Im actually not sure it didnt say how many it just said there was alot

[S.Belle]

No dont think so :-\ :-\ :-\

[S.Belle]

a crocodile? really where? i gave up on this one its too much :hiding:

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

If you look carefully above the Wolf/dog thingy :-\

[S.Belle]

If you look carefully above the Wolf/dog thingy :-\

I still dont see it :exhausted ill just take your word for it lol

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Although even im not sure if it really is a Croco :-\, lets see if anyone else figures it out :-\

['Abd Al-Maajid]

If you look carefully above the Wolf/dog thingy :-\

:hmm: I see it as a human face.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Ohhh i just looked now properly , OMG it is a human face :-\

Sorry im really bad at this :-\

[S.Belle]

^ me too
are u talking about the circled area Sis?

oh nvm lol

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Yes lol, but i just looked its not a crocodile its a persons face LOL

This is funny :-\

['Abd Al-Maajid]

The human face to the extreme left with beard looks like Shivaji Bhosle, innit?? ;D;D;D

[S.Belle]

Who's Shivaji Bhosle

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ I was Kinda expecting this question. lol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivaji

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

The human face to the extreme left with beard looks like Shivaji Bhosle, innit?? ;D;D;D

Dunno who she is but the name sounds hilarious LOOL :-\

[S.Belle]

:omg: it does lol

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Yeah, I know. As someone said, I am an astute observer. :D

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Astute LOL, bro speak English :-\

[S.Belle]

^Astute LOL, bro speak English :-\

i was thinking the same and then i starting thinging about acute triangles but by context clues im guessing it means
keen...idk

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ Yeah, astute = sharp, acute, shrewd, quick
Source : Oxford Thesaurus.

astute = having ability to access situations or people accurately
Source : Oxford Concise English

[S.Belle]

hmm im astute and I didnt even know it...which is the opposite of astute :hmm:

[S.Belle]

since i keep thinking about acute triangles
find all the triangles i found 13

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

hmm im astute and I didnt even know it...which is the opposite of astute :hmm:

Astute Astute :-\ i dont see the different Geeekyyyyy!!!!

and i onli see 3 triangles, i cant find any more :-\

[~Raindrop~]

I found 12...wheres the 13th one?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Your the 13th one!

[S.Belle]

^Your the 13th one!

Bahaha

oopps sorry sis that was a typo i meant 12

['Abd Al-Maajid]

The filename of the image says imaginaryhiddentriangles so, I am reckoning that there are imaginary triangles. And there are 8 visible hexagons and each hexagon can have 6 acute angled triangles so there must be 48 triangles in total :embarrass:embarrass:embarrass:embarrass:embarrass :embarrass:embarrass

[~Raindrop~]

sheesh! MUST you make it so complicated?!

['Abd Al-Maajid]

What do i do? I don't see more than 6 triangles...:embarrass

[~Raindrop~]

12 :statisfie

look for the pizza slices that have been cut out, you have 6

then 3 in the middle

3 huge white ones, their points make the cut-out pizza slices

(well they look like pizzas to me!)

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

sheesh! MUST you make it so complicated?!

Eggsactly you Triangle :-\

The triangle is finding things confusing :-\

[~Raindrop~]

Eggsactly you Triangle :-\

The triangle is finding things confusing :-\

Refrain, insolent child.

I didn't bother with the other illusions- can't be asked to look for faces and whatnot. more like this, please :D

['Abd Al-Maajid]

12 :statisfie

look for the pizza slices that have been cut out, you have 6

then 3 in the middle

3 huge white ones, their points make the cut-out pizza slices

(well they look like pizzas to me!)

In that case, the figures you mentioned (in red here) cannot be termed as triangles, they are arcs. Although the three huge white and the colored triangles between them make 6 triangles :statisfie

[~Raindrop~]

sheesh! MUST you make it so complicated?!

Ditto

.................

[S.Belle]

@abdulmasjid hmm I guess you are right...maybe that is the trick to this "illusion"

@Aisha sure sis just let me find some more

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Your all Triangles! :-\ But sis Aisha is the 13th Triangle! :-\

['Abd Al-Maajid]

@abdulmasjid hmm I guess you are right...maybe that is the trick to this "illusion"

@Aisha sure sis just let me find some more

^ Hey, I am not slave of Masjid. lol
:hmm: So, what's the correct answer? How many triangles are there?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Really who cares? Theyre just triangles :-\ Triangles are geeky anywayyy


LOL :-\

[S.Belle]

this one is terribly easy

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^ 16, yay im correct : D, Mila is a circle : D

[S.Belle]

^ Hey, I am not slave of Masjid. lol

opps that is always how i read your screen name i just realized there was no s......:embarrass

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^That's tricky indeedy...there are 16 geeky circles :-\

[S.Belle]

^ 16, yay im correct : D, Mila is a circle : D

Yay im the circle!! hey maybe i can change aka roger...mila? to Circle lol...nah

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Its not tricky, actually i figured it out after scrolling up and down with the mouse, too badd it wasnt going "Squeak Squeak" tho haha

You guys are funny lol

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Yay im the circle!! hey maybe i can change aka roger...mila? to Circle lol...nah

Yeahh do that, its quite awesome lol , you wont be called that girl called roger anymore, but circle! : D

[S.Belle]

ok this is really an illusion..i suppose but I thought this was neat

those triangles you see arent really there its just the design of the other shapes that created them

[S.Belle]

Yeahh do that, its quite awesome lol , you wont be called that girl called roger anymore, but circle! : D

sis roger mila is a guy lol he was a footballer.....i was just being facetious by putting it

oh sorry @AbdulMajid i forgot to answer your ? its 16 you are right

['Abd Al-Maajid]

...

those triangles you see arent really there its just the design of the other shapes that created them

Yeah, all I see is several pakkumans. :D

[S.Belle]

lol yea
look what some person did to their wall its kinds coolio

[Ummu Sufyaan]

A clever use of the arabic script to make it look almost unreadable yet it’s actually in english. In total I would say it took me around two minutes to fully understand the hidden message, give it a shot and let me know what you uncovered.

got back to allah. i was reading it wrong at first...

there should be 13

i got 12 whales

find all the animals and faces

this is what i got

i got 12, including the ladies face and the bird on it (which i didn't circle). i cant figure out if the image in the yellow is meant to be a face and is her right arm meant to be something?

[S.Belle]

Read the color of the words below (not the actual words), try to do it as fast as you can. Is it difficult?

Vertical and Horizontal Lines appear, though they are only an illusion. A fun project done in Adobe Illustror and finished up with Photoshop.


Supposedly there’s 7 bass fish hidden in this image. Do you see them ?

[S.Belle]

got back to allah. i was reading it wrong at first...

its suppose to say get back to work

i cant figure out if the image in the yellow is meant to be a face and is her right arm meant to be something?

I think it is the lower part of a face and yes two rabbits

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

I would like to see more optical illusions, please share more Insha`Allaah. . . . . .

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ I'm sure Uncle Google have much optical illusions to share.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^But theyre all boring i checked, i want people to share there own on here like sis Mila did.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Ok this is 1, but its not as good as what sis Mila Posted

Can you make that?

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ I think we should wait for sister Mila to come and save our day. :D

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^As you claim

Ok try this 1:

If you stare at it almost looks like its moving.

[S.Belle]

haha you two made me laugh so here I am to "save the day" :p


If you stare at the following picture long enough,
you should see a giraffe...

Gotcha!:p


Find all the animals (it doesnt say how many there is)

[S.Belle]

this is awesome!!

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

Theyre awesome sis, continue sharing. . . . .

Jazakallahu Khaayr for sharing.

[S.Belle]

hey sis did you see the geeky :hmm: giraffe I posted before this lol

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

yeah lol, that was funny altho i dont think it was an illusion:-/

[S.Belle]

WHAT DO YOU SEE???
optical illusions

1

2 (do you see shapes or words?)

3 (words or a face)

4. Optical or Illusion?

Stare at the dot in the centre of this image for about 20 seconds and then look at a white surface. Amazing! If you blink quickly you should see the colours of the British flag.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

1. i see a man
2. i see the word "Lift" lol, altho i see shapes aswell,just shapes that have no name to them i guess:-\
3.i see a face, and the word "Liar" :-\
4. I see the word Optical and Ilusion
5.thats awesome but you can do that with every pic:-\

So yeah awesome!

[S.Belle]

ok last one for today

blue and green swirls right?

Wrong
zoom in of pic

In the two squares displayed below, the one on the left is colored using the same color from the blue spiral, and on the right using the green spiral.

The reason they look different colors is because our brain judges the color of an object by comparing it to surrounding colors. In this case, the stripes are not continuous as they appear at first glance. The orange stripes don’t go through the "blue" spiral, and the magenta ones don’t go through the "green" one.

[S.Belle]

Stare at the picture until a 3D image pops out from the rest of the picture. It might help to try and blur your vision or cross your eyes a little to see the 3D effect

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^that one is hard, i think i see people:skeleton:

[S.Belle]

^that one is hard, i think i see people:skeleton:

nope
hint* its words

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^it must be a letter or word right?

[S.Belle]

its a sentence not in the paragraph but it will pop once you stare at the paragraph a while
keep trying!! maybe our astute bro can help :p

[~Raindrop~]

I've been staring at that thing for ages and all I can see are squiggly things.

I give up.

[S.Belle]

I've been staring at that thing for ages and all I can see are squiggly things.

I give up.

dont give sis you can do it
try crossing your eyes when you look at the photo you will see something kinda pop but that is all im telling

[S.Belle]

ok take a breather from the other one with this
find the hidden word

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^Which font did you use...? :p

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

dont give sis you can do it
try crossing your eyes when you look at the photo you will see something kinda pop but that is all im telling

My eyes hurt now :-\ does it spell "Chocolate"?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

ok take a breather from the other one with this
find the hidden word

Any clues? this is super hard

[S.Belle]

Any clues? this is super hard

ok hmmm what you are looking for is right in front of you

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Twigs, owl? Image? drawing? hmm

Nature?

[~Raindrop~]

I think it ends in less. :ermm:

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Twigless

Jobless

Birdless, :-\

[S.Belle]

^Twigs, owl? Image? drawing? hmm

Nature?

no remember sis you are looking for a word

i picked hard ones today i suppose lol

here is the answer to the text one

if you looked at the pic crossed eyed you would have seen that there was slants in the text in some areas
well if you followed those slant it would have read a sentence

you see it now? this was a clever one lol

[S.Belle]

I think it ends in less. :ermm:

CORRECT but the beginning is missing

^Which font did you use...? :p

...are you asking me....?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

no remember sis you are looking for a word

i picked hard ones today i suppose lol

here is the answer to the text one

if you looked at the pic crossed eyed you would have seen that there was slants in the text in some areas
well if you followed those slant it would have read a sentence

you see it now? this was a clever one lol

Is it "Stop wasting your time"? but when i cross my eyes i dont see that :-\

[S.Belle]

yes you win!! its stop wasting your time get a life....but i dont mean that:wub: ..the illusion does lol
really you didnt see like slants (indent thingies) in the paragrapah?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

I do ,but i was expecting a word from those slants LOL, by closing my eyes 90% as you said earlier :-\

Good 1 :D

[S.Belle]

the answer to the nature hidden word is
YOUTHLESS
ok last one for today

Can you spot two numbers in this wonderfull picture of an oversized building?

here are some nice bonus illusions that require no thinking (sorry for getting hard today)

[Ummu Sufyaan]

ok take a breather from the other one with this
find the hidden word

i think the letters of last half of the word are less. i think the bird is meant to be a 'g' or maybe a 'j' and im assuming the first letter is a 'b' i think there is a 't' and 'h' in there as well.

?

[S.Belle]

Color blindness, also known as daltonism, is a deficiency in the view of certain colors. Red/green color distortion is the most common type of color vision impairment. In a few very rare cases, some people can only see in black and white shades. Color blindness is almost always an inherited condition although males are more likely than females to get it. Symptoms are inability to distinguish colors (usually red/green and sometimes yellow/blue).Click on the image below to open it in full size. You should see numbers inside the circles. If you aren’t color blind, you will see correct numbers (results are written next to circles so you can check them).

The photo below to the right shows an example of someone who confuses red and green. To such a person, reds and greens are indistinguishable and may appear the same.

Twenty-eight things are wrong in this picture below. Can you spot them all

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ :omg: 28? That's too many..I've spotted 2 or three...
1. The smoke and the leaves of the tree in left side of the picture are flowing in opposite directions.
2. The shadow of the gate is wrong. Or there is something fishy about the gate in whole.
3. Plowing horse doesn't wear saddle. Or, Horses do not plow.
4. The house does not have a door despite having a doorstep.
5. Sheep are disorganized...they should all move in same direction. (or are they pigs, astaghfirullah) ;D
6. No farmer behind the plowing horse.
7. The barrier and the grass(on which the man is standing) seems to be even, which is impossible.

[I can find more, but I have no time to spare here...I'll be back to find more 22 mistakes. So, please let me have my credit :embarrass]

[S.Belle]

^ wow you found that many i couldnt even find 1 i gave up lol

hey did you try the color bind test?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

The bro seems to know a lot, maybe he works in a farm wow Subhaan`Allaah

i was thinking the door maybe is on the other side of that house, the only problem i found was with that fence, but even that may be a shadow Allaah knows!

[S.Belle]

^ yeah the fence looks funny i thought they were stairs at first

find the deer

find the 3 faces

[S.Belle]

In this video below, miniature balls roll up the slopes just as if they were pulled by a magnet. This behavior seems impossible as it defies gravity, and the magnetic forces can’t help, as the balls are made of wood! I can assure you there are no fancy computer graphics. Just cardboard, glue, and some wooden balls. It’s a real scene, indeed!
This marvelous “piece of art” was created by Koukichi Sugihara, one of the top 10 finalists of the Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest in 2010. Hence, you can even grab some building instructions off of his website, and construct your very own Magnet-like Slopes. You’ll quickly realize how Koukichi achieved this effect, after seeing the video. What is actually happening is that the orientations of the slopes are perceived oppositely, and hence the descending motion is misinterpreted as ascending motion. What is so remarkable about this illusion, is that it is entirely generated by a three-dimensional solid object and physical motion, instead of a two-dimensional picture.

^ wow you found that many i couldnt even find 1 i gave up lol

hey did you try the color bind test?

Yeah, I tried the color blind test. Alhamdulillah I am not color blind.

LOL I dont work in a farm. I think IT is not a fence if it were a fence it should run around the farmhouse.

^ yeah the fence looks funny i thought they were stairs at first

find the deer

...

I think IT is not a fence if it were a fence it should run around the farmhouse.

I found the deer but couldn't find the faces in the next image....

[S.Belle]

^ look closely at
the rock
the negative space of the pic
and supposedly there is one in the clouds somewhere but i fail to see it. :hmm:

['Abd Al-Maajid]

LOL, No, not at the rock, you have to see in the woods...

:hmm: I am feeling drowsy now :uhwhat...so couldn't find the second one :D

But Alhamdulillah, after your reply I took a closer look and found another deer.

wow i think i know how thats done,it has a hidden Magnet : p, the hidden magnet causes it to go up like that :-\

How geeky :-\

[S.Belle]

^ that is what i thought at first sis but the balls are wooden
watch the vid again and u will see him turn the structure around to where u see that the slides are actually pointed downward not upward

[S.Belle]

how many differences can u find between the two photos (supposedly 12)

[S.Belle]

It’s more than likely you said, “A bird in the bush”. If this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see that the word THE is repeated twice inside this triangle! Sorry, look again :) and try to post your explanation. There is something worng with our brains, I think. Another example is this sentance:

Count every ‘F‘ in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…
How many F’s did you count? Wrong! There are six of them above – no joke. Now read it again with more precision. Really, go back and try to find all the six F’s before you continue to read this explanation. The reasoning is really intersting.
The answer is that the brain cannot process word “of”. Do you think it is incredible or what? Now go back and look again! The truth is that anyone who counts all the F’s on the first go, must be a true genius :) If you’re first answer was three, that is quite normal, if your answer was four that’s quite rare.

[S.Belle]

what does this say?

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ You have too much time on your hands

[S.Belle]

ahh u figured that out tooo fast it took me a while :embarrass


i cant think of any more to post someone give me ideas more hidden illusions, word, etc.

^ You have too much time on your hands

I get a peculiar feeling that this illusion was meant for me....I have too much time...:exhausted

I need to go to rehabilitation center for effective time management. :exhausted

[S.Belle]

^ ;D;D
no bro it was totally random...or was it :p im joking I had no clue what it said at first until I read the post with the answer.

i am curious how many F's did you find in the sentence.

['Abd Al-Maajid]

^ LOL 3 at first :embarrass

[S.Belle]

yea me too

k bros/sis' these are the last two for today my head is beginning to hurt looking at all these illusions

notice anything?

This beautiful picture shows beautiful white tiger family. You probably see only 4 of them like I did the first time I saw this pic. Look again! There should be much more of their brothers and sister hidden beneath the obvious surface. How many did you find?

Also if you have any requests please feel free to post them

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^ that is what i thought at first sis but the balls are wooden

Whaatttt?!?!?!?!:ooh: reallyy?!?!?!? that is soo cool but how does he make it look upwards:-\ Confusing aye:-\

Subhaan`Allaah but awesome!

[~Raindrop~]

I can see 7 tigers so far, I'm sure there's more in there somewhere.

[S.Belle]

I can see 7 tigers so far, I'm sure there's more in there somewhere.

i think there are like 12 but i only managed to find 9

Whaatttt?!?!?!?! reallyy?!?!?!? that is soo cool but how does he make it look upwards Confusing aye Subhaan`Allaah but awesome!

i know right lol i think he has a site on how to make these but to me it seems he just made the slides different sizes and maybe angled the camera a certain way tricking us :raging: ;D

[Woodrow]

Now go back and look again! The truth is that anyone who counts all the F’s on the first go, must be a true genius :) If you’re first answer was three, that is quite normal, if your answer was four that’s quite rare. [/B][/CENTER]

What about people who find 12 on the first try?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Then those people are classed as "Super Geeky" :-\
You didnt get 12 the first time, right? :-\:hiding:

[S.Belle]

@ Woodrow did you really see 12 F's??


What does this say?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

@ Woodrow did you really see 12 F's??


What does this say?

The first pic says "Life" something i cant quite make out what the second word is :-\

The second pic says "Chinese Food Festival" : D

[S.Belle]

yep got 2 out of 3 right sis

look at this

Concentrate on the center dot for a minute or two, and you’ll experience an interesting effect. I would like to ask you how many different colors you see in the animation? Probably your answer is 3 (or 4 if you count the white circle). In reality the “purple-ish” circle in the middle is the same color as the rotating wings.

Stare at the white dot in the centre of the red circle. The longer – the better (two minutes and you’ll get a much stronger effect). Always try to keep focused on the white dot. It’ll be worth it.
Soon after staring, you’ll start to see a thin rim of light around the edge. Don’t stop staring though yet! Wait another minute – keeping your head perfectly still.
Once you’ve done this, slowly – move your head backwards – making sure to keep your eyes focused on the dot at all times. The circle’s rim will glow brilliantly with true Cyan! Keep on moving your head slowly backwards, and it’ll glow very hot!…
The blue/cyan colour chart to the right isn’t part of the illusion, but there to demonstrate that the ultra cyan you have just seen is not in the monitor’s color palette! It should be, but isn’t.
It’s an amazing effect.

I must say, tis is the best illusion or trick (whatever you call it) of the thread.

how many horses?

thought this was kinda neat
Who is this?

*even though it kinda looks like Obama its not

whats wrong with this pic?

Look at them words they`re moving HA,when they`re really not :-\, do i make sense? No? Good! :-\

I started moving my head along with the waves hehehe:hiding:

GOOD time to hypnotize you :-\

[S.Belle]

:muddlehea:muddlehea lol
nah ive actually stared at this one way too long i feel a bit queasy

hey sis see if you can find some hidden shape illusions similar to the hidden triangle one I posted. I cant seem to find any maybe you will have better luck :statisfie

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Hmm i shall try.

Till then count the Dots and bore yourself to wake up :-\
Remember to post how many you found too : D

Peace

[S.Belle]

Remember to post how many you found too : D

i counted 35

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^Oooopss sorry i forgot to say black dots :-\

Count all the black dots : D LOL

[S.Belle]

oh well theres too many of them to count they keep disappearing lol...hmm maybe 0 bc this is an optical illusion after all

[S.Belle]

Just like you did for the Eclipse of Mars (red dot that turned into cyan) , stare intently at the red dot in the center of the left block for about a couple of minutes.
Once you've done this, look over to the center of the right block. It should act weird - by fading out and 'flickering'. If you move your head closer and further from the monitor (while focussing in the center), you should see some interesting interference effects too.

[S.Belle]

how many eagles

simply concentrate on the center black dot

How many faces can you find in the picture above? I’ve found 15

Here’s one of classic examples how our brain can easily be deceived. When you first look at the image below, red stripes seem to move in one direction only. Try focusing on the central dot… See how the stripes started moving in the opposite direction? You can repeat this process as many times you want, it works all the time! Enjoy!

[S.Belle]

One should sit at a comfortable distance and then move forward toward the center of the figure. An interesting change in apparent brightness and to some degree form will result—what may be called a “here comes the sun” effect.

what does this say

weird huh?

i think it has something to do with this...maybe

what do you see (depending on who you are you may see different things)

how many pencils are there?

Can you read Chinese?

1. I don't see any thing intelligible or meaningful there. :hmm:
2. 7 pencils turned into 6 :p
3. 'China' :)

[S.Belle]

^ i didnt either at first but I saw something when i just looked at the black part.
Its like the profile of a woman


: if all the shapes that form these two rectangles below, are of the same shape and areas, how come the overall surface of the second is bigger? Where is the mistake? How do you explain this one?

what do you see?

[S.Belle]

To see this optical illusion in it’s full capacity, wait for the animated .gifto loop to its start. You’ll know you’re there when you see a full colored rainbow appear. Now stare at the center dot for few seconds, and at one time the animation will switch. But don’t move your eyes from central dot just yet! What do you see? If you followed my procedure precisely, sooner or later you’ll find out that the animation below consists of two similar images. Only difference between them, is that one is in color, and the other is black and whiteAfter staring at the color rainbow’s central dot, negative colors burnt in your retina, and you were able to see the black and white photo in full color!

Stare at the little black cross for a minute or so. Then the pic will change and you will be able to see the colors that you read.

Do you see imaginary black stripes?

A cutlass is a short, heavy and slightly curved sword. It's on the canon.

The funny thing is I can't figure out the rest of them.

The extra square area is obtained by slightly distorting the 2 triangular shapes in the second pictures. Look carefully at the second shape, in the joint between the 2 triangles. Here I zoomed it out :

Here I tried to caricature it, to show the distortion clearly.

You can find the real distortion in the real image, it's very small and hidden with the thin line over it. This small distortion throughout the joining line let you gain extra space secretely.

[S.Belle]

^ wow never noticed that until you said something try to figure this out then


How is it possible that two is equal to one, when we all know that that isn’t true

[marwen]

[

nice one ! :smile:

hmm .. I think the problem is in the transition between the fourth and fifth line :
(a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b). here we have a=b => (a-b)=0. so this line is equivalent to : (a+b)x0 = bx0 => this doesn't mean (a+b)=b, because even if (a+b) is not equal to 'b', the equation is still true; i.e the 5th (next) line is therefore wrong.

[S.Belle]

There is a ten-digit mystery number (no leading 0), represented by ABCDEFGHIJ, where each numeral, 0 through 9, is used once. Given the following clues, what is the number?

1) Either A = B / 3 or A = G + 3.
2) Either B = I - 4 or B = E + 4.
3) Either C = J + 2 or C = F * 3.
4) Either D = G * 4 or D = E / 3.
5) Either E = J - 1 or E = D / 4.
6) Either F = B * 2 or F = A - 4.
7) Either G = F + 1 or G = I - 3.
8) Either H = A / 2 or H = C * 3.
9) Either I = H + 3 or I = D / 2.
10) Either J = H - 2 or J = C * 2.


all you have to do is concentrate on the little cross on the left, and then after a minute or so, switch your focus to the cross on the right. The black and white photo now becomes pink.

I want to think about the other illusions, but I'm falling asleep right now, I'll try later :uhwhat

[S.Belle]

observe the 4 little moving dots. As they move further away one from another (expand – if you wish), and when their path crosses bigger circle’s surface – the ghostly contours appearr. It seems as if the smaller dots represented a corners of an expanding and shrinking squares. In reality, there are no contours present, and they were only placed here by our brain who struggles to interpret the animation.

[S.Belle]

All you have to do is count how many boulders are present inside the picture. Can you at least spot when or where does the extra boulder appear/disappear?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

None, I guess. :ermm:

[Ummu Sufyaan]

no one got the fringerprint one theres like a face in one of them

which of the surrounding circles labeled 1-8 is the same size as the circle in the middle of the image?

i think it's 8. but i suspect there is a trick to it to becuase the tiny circles around the circles that are numbered 1- 8 move further away from the edge of the circles which makes the circles (that are labeled 1-8) appear smaller as they increase in number (1-8).
5-8 look like they are about the same size (resembling the circle in the middle)...the other circles (1-4) look they they get smaller...1 is huge and 4 is relatively smaller.

[Woodrow]

sort of cheating but looking at my cursor compared to the circles #4 seems to be the same size as the center circle.

[Rafeeq]

It is no. 4, I m sure.

[S.Belle]

Only a schizophrenic person can find it.

LOL and when i looked at the lego some of the fingers disappeared but maybe it is just me....

and the answer is..........3!

this is a neat illusion are the dots shifting?

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

^no they are in the same position.

[Rafeeq]

No, it is just colouring of same dots.

1. Glass is behind the bottle.
2. Cigrate slot at ash tray (front side) is higher than its opposite one.
3. IS is repeated twice on ash tray.
4. Spelling of COLA on the bottle is incorrect.
