Oh what the heck, I'll bump this bad boy ...

See how long it takes you to find the human face in this pic

How would I go about posting an animated .gif?

You can post them, but they have to be pretty small file sizes. Most animated GIFs are too big.

Is this one of those magic eyes, or is there another trick.

I can't do the magic eye things. I guess my eyes aren't magicamal.

Look at 7 o'clock in the image. You'll see the face. No trick. It's just a where's Waldo type thing.

Oh! Hahahhaa. That's kind of creepy!

Now I see where's he's bean.

glatt! you gave it away! :(

It's been 3 days. I think the statute of limitations was up. In other words, I don't see anyone clamoring to solve it. ;)

well poo on you

LOL

I was squinting and leaning back and everything, thinking it was a magic eye picture.

Doh - I just realized what you meant by "magic eye picture."

Sorry! I figured that anyone who wanted to play the game and look for it would look for it. They wouldn't scroll down hoping for an answer.

no worries.

I have to admit I saw it immediately.
Not boasting, that's the way it is sometimes.

Although I do have a vague memory of seeing it before, which would have helped enormously.

Accidental optical illusion...

Nope.
This one I don't get at all :)

it doesn't appear to you that the woman's standing on a floating / flying platform with the shadow cruising along underneath? That's what I see.

It does now!
Cheers :)

That's an excellent one.

Perfectly round?

Explanation from the Doctor ...

Not so much an optical illusion, but, it makes ya look twice...

Love the zebra shadows.

Infimonki's picture has an effect on us similar to when a person goes on TV with a shirt with thin contrasting stripes. The cameras are usually good at accurately representing what is in front of them, but certain patterns hit the hardware in just the wrong way and produce strobing effects. Likewise, our usually (moderately) accurate sensors aren't ready to cope with inputs like that.

I suspect the angles of the squares is critical, because they trick the brain into thinking the circle at that point is aligned with the edge of the squares, which makes us project the circle in the wrong direction, causing the circles to look overlapping and entangled.

Wow - you said that SO much better than I ... Gonna send that to him.

I think my brain asploded.

I like the zebras too, made it my background.

Here's an old one:

hmm

My wife is making Xmas cards, so I asked her if she could incorporate this in some of them:

If you look at it for a few seconds you'll think that there are blinking lights at the corners of the squares.

I'm trying to find something similar in color that can be made to look like a tree.

the lines are a little too fat, but something like this?

Yes, like that, except I can't see the blinking dots in the color version.

That's partially a function of the lines being too thick and also somewhat the contrast in value. Yellow and purple may work better. Lemme see.

This is a bit better. There is a red/green combo in pigment that is particularly electric. I don't think it works as well with monitors. Though maybe it's and RGB vs CMYK thing. It could also be that the pigments themselves have an intensity that can't be mixed with CMYK

Sometimes the answer is a simple one:
lol

But who looks at a Christmas card for minutes...?
(I couldn't get any of them to work for me, but that may be the monitor)

I think the scintillating grid actually has lighter colored dots at the intersections, which give the blinking light effect.

I saw blinkies on both of the color ones too. Made me seasick. I see them as soon as I look at it too. They're fainter on the color ones, but I see 'em.

Well, those are supposed to work better when you view them from farther away, and you're way out in Ohio.

Yeah, plus I'm drunk.

I'm kidding. I kid.

Yeah I started dicking with making brighter dots and then was all like, fuck it I'm going to go take a nap and not clean the kitchen.

Looks like a leaping Great White. It ain't. It was shot from beneath, near the surface.

Kinda illusiony.

Doesn't look like a Great White, jus sayin.

ETA - Maybe it is - I thought at first it was a Black Tipped, but some images show Great Whites with similar markings (shrug)



Dolphin!

I'll go with black tip reef shark, per Classic, and Wikipedia.

Attachment 35869

It's all part of the illusion.

I can't believe that no one has said "It's a dolphin"...until now.

Eh hem ... Els:

So what's with the baby shark? No one seems to care about the baby shark. Is it a baby shark? It looks like a baby shark to me.

Think of the children. :(

Are you talking bout the remora?

I don't know. What's a remora?

(Whatsa remora with you? Ba Dum Dum)

Looks like either a baby shark or a tattoo of a baby shark, on the bottom of the shark.

ohhh, I googled it.

Never heard of it before, I guess that's what it is!

It would have to be a tiny white, judging by the size of the suckerfish (aka remora or sharksucker).

ETA: oops, I see I was late

Suckerfish get that big?

OMFG, quit making such a big deal about it, you.

Not you, Scrive. ;)

Who you callin' sharksucker?

IIRC, there are some that try to "attach" themselves to scuba divers.
There is probably a video somewhere, but I'd be making a BIG DEAL about it so I won't look for one. :3_eyes:

Here is another for you...

If you leaf me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me...
Oooh oooh oooh oooh no baby please don't go

Approx 5 seconds.
Again, not boasting - I have my own problems...

We had the afternoon performance of the Nativity on Monday.
One of the Innkeepers was playing up all the way through - headress on, headress off, whispering to the children next to her, fussing about the children sat in front of her, turning round and trying to fiddle with the wall behind her when she should have been singing etc, etc.

She was too far away for me to get her attention. I assumed she was in the class above ours. So I spoke to Mrs N at the "briefing" the morning after (the children still had an evening performance to do).

"Little girl with glasses at the back."
Nope, no one there with glasses.
Whaa?
Oh and then T slips in.
T is in MY class.
All it took was a headdress (like one for a shepherd) for me not to recognise her.

Damn. Had I known she was one of mine I'd have had a quiet word. As it was, she was mentioned as behaving badly in front of the whole cast.

another what? am i supposed to find something there or something?

Yeh same as the last one I posted. Find the HUMAN.
