    Default Optical Illusions anyone?

    Which tower is leaning at a sharper angle?

    Its the same tower so isn't it leaning the same?

    neither. The one on the right looks as if it is, but it is because the same picture has been placed to the right (the side in which the first is leaning thus you are tricked into thinking the tower on the right is leaning more to the right, I think?

    I love these things. The freakiest ones are the kind with the same color dot in 2 different settings, and it looks like an entirely different shade. I've had people refuse to believe it, even when I used a "color select" tool in photoshop and selected from each one, then painted side by side on a blank canvas.

    Explain more. I covered up the green thing and I still see two differently colored squares. I have never understood this one.




    Do you see an old women or a young women?

    The key is not just the green thing, it's the switch from light to shadow. It is hard to picture, but if you use Photoshop or Paint to extract the colors, you'll see it is identical.
