			Check it for yourself in paintshop... really weird

		Zziggy00		Oct 9, 2002
			very strange indeed.... Who has the motivation to make these things?

		racketboy		Oct 9, 2002
			I haven't tested it yet since I don't have photoshop on my work computer, but I don't get how it's true. Can someone explain?

		Gallstaff		Oct 9, 2002
			Yeah it's true... go into like microsoft paint if you don't have image editing on that computer and then click and drag the eye dropper over B and then over A they will both me color # 177 i think.

			Color A: (In HTML:#666666) Color B: (In HTML:#666666) Also, try copying and pasting a bit from A, and move it ontop of B. Very freaky.

			Cool! Yeah, they are the same colors.

		IceDigger		Oct 11, 2002
			I'm guessing they are because of the shadow? Am i correct?

			Stare at the two center circles and move your head toward your screen. It's really weird when you print it.

		Gallstaff		Oct 11, 2002
			holy shiznitch, i thought that was a gif when before i read the post below it... weird.

		racketboy		Oct 11, 2002

If you look at it sorta crooked or unfocused, you can see that they're the same. At least I can, sometimes anyway. But looking straight on, yeah, that's messed up. Our eyes (at least our visual perception anyway) have some major flaws you think they'd have caught in the early stages of testing. Maybe God will fix it in a later version :

That second one is really cool though

Actually, this isn't so hard if you change the color of the letter. I think that's part of what messes it up. I've seen similar things like this using different shades of color.

			Good 'ol Stroop Effect Normally you'd run that experiement with a list color words in the actual color, and a list of neutral words in the same colors. Fun stuff.

			Sprial? no, just independant circles.

		racketboy		Oct 12, 2002
			those are so freakin' freaky!!!! I've tried that word/color thing before. It's a good laugh to have your friends try it.

			Is it moving or shimmering? Look at this illusion for a while and it will appear to be shimmering and moving. Also: Follow the outermost groove and watch it change from a groove to a hump as you go around the wheel.
