Card!

I thought the same when I first saw it. To prove it, I loaded the image as a bitmap into a paint program (try it yourself - save the image as a .bmp file and open it in Paint) and used the program to calculate the colours. Both squares had identical colour mappings!

If you can't see this you must be a Democrat.

Well damn, I usually accused of being a Libertarian.

Thanks a lot.

Yesterday, I was in idle mode all day, so I had the time

Don't let your boss find out about this, he just might give you some work to do.......... :)

[Hot Tabasco]

No they're not!

Square a and B are not the same shade of gray.

Move your eye right up to the screen and look at the pixels in B, then do the same for A.

A is not only darker, it is many shades darker.

I think everyone here on this thread is single and drinking alone at home.......

Setting that illusion as my wallpaper for a while.

BTW, Going for jigsaw's tagline recognition thing? Got my vote!

I can see edges starting to

You have to pause before moving your eyes as your brain starts to "decode" the 3D information being fed to it. As it does the image will become clearer and you can slowly move your eyes upward.

I heard Neal Boortz talking about an optical illusion he'd put up on his website, so I checked it out. Must be a guy thing as it didn't do anything for me.

Yes they are.

Do this -- save the picture as a bmp. Open the image with paint and then copy a small square aeound A and paste into a new picture, then do the same for A and put it next to B in the same new picture.

They are the same!!!

Very Cool!!! Looked great on my large LCD screen...
Thanks...

[groanup]

Yeah, he says there's a boat in the background. I don't see it.

[aruanan]

That is so cool. I showed someone in the lab who told me, "No way." So I lassoed and copied and pasted B and dragged it to A in Photoshop.

[TBall]

I copied both blocks into my !Quick Screen Capture and put them side by side. Even erased the letters. The A block is a much darker shade.

Using an eyedropper tool and looking at the color number that it picked up, here are the results:

• Square A color is #6D686C

• Square B color is #6D686C

That's not just close. That's dead on the same.

If you still don't believe it, print it out and fold the paper, so the two squares are next to each other. They're the same.
