Cool Tricks that mess with your eyes!

I got a email today with these pictures in!

11 Ships or 3 Ships and 8 Arches


Do you see all faces or all houses?


How many horses in this picture-Should be 7


People or Faces


A Picture Puzzle


How many people?


See more than one deer?


Look does the middle column-Where does it end


Do you see 4 people


Who is the tallest?


A face or the word liar


Do you see the word 'LIFT'?
Or, a bunch of black splotches ?




The Best one!

Who says there are 11 faces? I see 14!
There are the 11 that Higgins has shown in his spoiler and three more that I can see.

Dude, there is like an infinite number of faces and horses. This has also got nothing to do with me being quite hammered right now.

The most obvious face that Higgins has missed is the one belonging to the guy on the horse.

Hah. Yeah, not bad. There are a lot of bloody cats here. I read somewhere they brought a load in to control the snake problem. Apparently the island has been evacuated a few times because of snakes. Locals aren't too pet friendly though. No dogs on beach (£300CYP fine I think) and loads of poisonings. Not nice.

Hmm, there are less penguins here than cats...

I'll need to make up with more posting.



Also, I'll call in Matt's sig for reinforcements.

You mean it actually is a penguin??? God, I thought it was just some abstract picture you got from your niece or something... Damn...

Right, now off to Facebook to throw sheep around (I'm Welsh). God, why does nearly every programmer I know (ie. almost everyone I've ever known) avoid it like the plague ("God, MUDs make this look like were partying in 1989 dude...")? Sheesh, and she has a tonne of mates... Damn it. Shouldn't care, but beer magnifies all

Johny has realized the truth: There is no spoon.

And I resent that! It's a BIZAR penguin! Of course it was drawn by my niece (who has yet to be born, mind you)!

And you may not know this, but Bizar Guy was recently noted to have killed Master Chief in a brawl.

Yeah, mine either. Well, the 2nd one anyways. I have 3 weeks left, how about you? Fun fact; her mother was born on the exact same day Elvis died. My mum was dead happy, then crying a lot....

You do realise we are heading for locked thread heaven I assume? I have an excuse because I am plastered. How about yourself? Epelectic fit again?

well, my brother is 12, so I'm sure he'll get right on that.

My excuse is that you started it, seeing as at least in this thread you posted first.

Start em young I say. Trust me, he won't complain when he is older.

Well I just say think of the children! I mean the thread starters. Imagine the look of joy when Cool Kid (or wheover started the other thread we hijacked) gets up in the morning and sees the post count of his thread. Just imagine his hurt when he sees what the thread actually contains... Hopefully Xmas isn't a day of crushed dreams for him too.... again...

don't worry about the kid who started the other thread; he's some sort of stalker, who goes to a forum for advice on stalking. On Xmas he'll find the whole forum singing at his door, telling him to buy a Hanuka Bush.

I saw 10 faces (even on the spoiler one, which tbh doesn't actually look much difference cept for a few faint red lines), and 5 horses.

I did see another 2 faces, but decided they weren't really there as I was only picking up a few details rather than a whole face.
As for the horses, there can't be 7 for the simple reasoning there aren't enough legs.

Atleast not that I could see; this said, I have problems with stuff like this on the simple basis that they always use extremely light or extremely dark colours (often red or green with yellow or white) and quite frankly I can't see those colours so close together without really concentrating for long periods of time.

I call colourblindist on all of the damn things
Also what in the hell is a "very observer"? Shouldn't it be "very observant"?

I'll admit I only saw five horses. I honestly would like to see where the other two are. The 11 faces were pretty easy though.

i can't stand ones like the "Who is the tallest?"... sure i know that they all take up the same space in 2 dimensional space... but it is understood that we are usually representing 3 dimensions when we draw on paper/screen/whatever.

i saw 12 faces (not counting the horse or dude)... but i can see how i might have made up one of them.

[edit] there are no black dots

Oh dear, I got into quite an argument over this one a while back (on these forums as well, I believe). Someone would not admit that they're the same colour despite an RGB picker clearly showing they are. The best technique for checking that one is in MSPaint (or another program) just put a selection around one square and drag it so it sits next to the other, as you drag, the optical illusion fades away and you see they're the same. Nice. But alas, the other person still wouldn't concede they were the same.

In order to solve the which one is darker, you could color pick it, or print it out in color, and cutout both letters.
