Apparently you can see a rainbow if you stare at this for long enough. Haven't spotted it myself......

1. Follow the movement of the rotating pink dot with your eyes. You will see only one color - Pink.

2. Now stare at the black "+" in the center, and the moving dot turns to green.

3. Now keep staring at the "+", and after a short time, all the pink dots disappear, and all you see is a rotating green dot!


Just discovered this gem. Enjoy.

Ewen :)

NUMBERS RIDDLE.........

:mrgreen: This will drive you crazy :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:

Using only whole numbers, and starting with the number 1, to what number would you have to count before finding a number with the letter "a" in the spelling?


NEXT ONE:

How many Fs do you see in the text below?


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-

SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-

IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE

EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.




After you counted the Fs, scroll down...














How many did you count? 3?

Wrong, there were 6. Don't believe it?
Scroll back up and check. Or scroll down
for the solution...














Our brains are trained to overlook the word OF.

If you saw all 6 Fs right away, you're a genius.

Most people see only 3 Fs. Some people see 4.

Lisa,
You stated that "our brains are trained to overlook the word of" and you are correct but a more interesting trait is that as long as the first and last letters in a word are correct, the remaining letters can be jumbled up yet we can slitl qitue rdaeliy mkae snese of waht is wtirten.
Wreid hay!!!!
Cheers,
Frank (Electric Chook)
P.S. Is the first number you get to 101 (one hundred And one)?

Just keep looking at those 3 spot over the nose for 10 sec.
Then raise your head to the roof suddenly and watch the roof for next 20 sec.
Then tell me what did you see!

These aren't my images, so I won't host them directly (and the break the 856 pixel width rule), but these sites have great examples of the mind-bending 'rotating snakes' illusion:

1. Hold your hands in front of you, at 20-30 cm distance from you, at eye level.
2. Point your index fingers against each other, leaving about 2 cm distance between them.
3. Now look "through" your fingers, into the distance behind them.
4. The sausage should appear now, and you can change its length by varying the distance between the finger tips.
5. For most observers, the sausage will look blurred, at least initially.
6. If you try to look at the sausage, it will disappear, it is only present if you look at something more distant than your fingers.
7. It helps if the background is rather homogenous and has a color very different from your fingers.

Cheers,
Harry 8)


I tried to eat the sausage.. :cry:
