Weird, worked that time. Maybe I was too far away before.

Straight and parallel

That's a good one. I had to open it in an image editor to measure the lines and see that they are level and plumb

god almighty
that one pushes the limits of believability
but you can hold a piece of paper up to the monitor and confirm!

If we were honest about shortcomings of human physiology then "optical illusions” would instead be labeled “brain failures”.

Wow, that's amazing.

Not everything is what it looks like to you, be careful judging diamonds... and people.


Happy Monkey 12-15-2017 10:10 AM

What is the border between the diamonds?

glatt 12-15-2017 10:50 AM

I don't think there is a border. I think each diamond is a gradient of gray shading, lighter at the bottom and darker at the top.

Happy Monkey 12-15-2017 12:22 PM

Ah! That makes sense. Very cool.

Gravdigr 12-15-2017 12:56 PM

I don't see a gradient. I see solid gray.

glatt 12-15-2017 02:26 PM

Take a screen shot and use the eyedrop tool in photoshop to measure each diamond at the top and the bottom. You'll see.

I was waiting for Mr. Hand guy to rotate the diamond to give the trick away and blow our minds, but he never did.
