Thats probably best optical illusion I've ever seen.

[dhdev (Oli)]

[Martin]

i dont get it..?

[dhdev (Oli)]

Do the squares A and B look the same shade of grey to you? or does A look significantly darker than B?

[Martin]

yes.. A is darker..

[Jack]

No its not :p

[dhdev (Oli)]

But it's actually the same shade of grey :eek: Save the image, open in paint and cut out a portion of either A or B and move it across :thumb:

had to check myself didnt belive people when they said it was the same lol

[MyNovaSr]

any idea how they get them to not look the same?

[brainsnova]

if you move it slow you see it changes shade. in there current position they are different not the same. move it over some of the other lighter squares and it doesnt match :D its all effected by the light and shadows.

any idea how they get them to not look the same?
Pardon? lol Its called an optical illusion for a reason :p

Square A is surrounded by light squares so it looks darker. Square B is surrounded by dark squares so looks lighter. Your brain recognises that, due to the pattern, square B should be lighter than square A so makes you think it is.

Genius! I spent ages cutting and dragging portions to convince my brother, that would've made it a damn site easier lol

Good one. If you blurr your vision you can see the same shades.

There are some optical illusion pics which really make you sh it bricks, ones that can't really be explained!
