Um. 0.5 seconds?

Is a face going to jump out at me or something?

classicman 02-06-2012 11:51 AM
lol - I saw it pretty quick as well.
nope no face jumping out. Just a time waster. Apparently not enough.

jimhelm 02-06-2012 11:52 AM
my mouse pointer just happened to be pointing right at it when i scrolled up to see it. that was EASY!

Lamplighter 02-06-2012 11:54 AM

Except that they made big holes in the only patch of shade around. ;)

Sundae 02-16-2012 04:03 AM
.. but they created the only shade around.
They can do what they like with it, you long haired pinko hippy. Sheesh!

Which of the two colored shapes in this illusion is rotating? If you guessed ‘both,’ guess again. Only the outer red ring is actually moving; the blue inner core is stationary. But every time the star-shaped projections on the two objects line up perfectly, the blue shape appears to ‘jerk’ backwards, or counter-clockwise, almost like a gear slotting into place. What causes the illusion? Dutch mathematician and cognitive psychologist Dr. Peter A. van der Helm writes: “[T]he rhombi jump backwards from one wheel notch to the next, and we think the visual system mistakes the wheel notch that opens a background area for the one that shut this background area a moment before. This mistake occurs especially when the wheel has a lower background contrast than the stationary shapes…” In layman’s terms, the brain gets confused by the growing and shrinking gaps between the two shapes, and the strength of the illusion depends on the contrast between their colors. Simple, right? Well, maybe not. But it is nifty. See more about the illusion and its variants here: http://bit.ly/GTRICK
If you scroll down to where you can see only the bottom three points of the blue star, the effect disappears.

ZenGum 03-27-2012 05:19 PM
Damn you, brain, stop lying to me. I know it isn't moving. Stop that.

Explanation: Did this mirage help sink the Titanic? The optical phenomenon called Fata Morgana can make strange shapes or a false wall of water appear above a watery horizon. When conditions are right, light reflecting off of cold water will be bent by an unusual layer of warm air above to arrive at the observer from several different angles. A conceptually comparable mirage can make a setting Sun appear strangely distorted or a distant pavement appear wet. One hundred years ago today, such a Fata Morgana mirage might have obscured real icebergs from the clear view of crew onboard the Titanic. Additional evidence for this distortion hypothesis arises from the nearby vessel SS Californian which reported sightings consistent with Fata Morgana mirages. The above Fata Morgana mirage was taken off the US Pacific coast in 2008.

Not really an illusion, but, kinda/sorta.

An optical illusion makes you see something that's not really there. This is the opposite of that.

When Napoleon left France for Elba, his supporters wore violets as a secret sign of their allegiance. This 1815 colour print by Jean-Dominique Etienne Canu, Le Secret du Caporal La Violette, conceals images of the exiled emperor, his wife, and his son. Where are they?

Clodfobble 04-22-2013 09:56 PM
I see them. The boy was the hardest to pick out.

Sundae 04-23-2013 02:11 AM
I'll have to come back to it.
I can't see one at present, let alone all three.

Griff 04-23-2013 05:38 AM
Not getting it.

ZenGum 04-23-2013 06:46 AM
Took me quite a while.

Spotted the son first, and then after a long time got the other two - looking for his hat was what set it off in my brain.

This, except I can't find the son.

Sundae 04-23-2013 09:01 AM
Got all three now.
Was looking in the wrong direction, if you get what I mean.

fargon 04-23-2013 09:07 AM
I found all three.

footfootfoot 04-23-2013 10:12 AM
It took a while even though I suspected they were in the negative space

Gravdigr 04-23-2013 11:07 AM
Wow. I was going the direction Feet pointed out, but had a tough time.

Another helper is they are in profile.
