Transcript

00:00:00Lily was walking home from school one day when a huge portal opened up before her.

00:00:05She was curious, so she decided to walk through it.

00:00:09The portal took her straight to the castle of the Great Zormir,

00:00:12a cool magician that had harnessed the power of thousands of Philosopher's Stones.

00:00:17As soon as Lily crossed the portal, he closed it.

00:00:21He told the girl that she had been chosen to take part in a great quest

00:00:25and that she could only leave the castle if she agreed to play his game.

00:00:30She had to answer all of his riddles correctly, and only then he would let her go.

00:00:36For the first riddle, he showed her this image

00:00:39and asked her to figure out what word was hidden in this illusion.

00:00:42Can you help her out?

00:00:44It's the word sun.

00:00:53Way to go, both of you.

00:00:55Zormir liked to play with trickery and illusion, so for his next trick, he called a chef.

00:01:01The guy walked in with a cart filled with Spanish empanadas and Lily's mouth started watering.

00:01:07He told Lily that she had to eat all of the empanadas, except one,

00:01:12and that she should choose wisely, because that special empanada was poisoned.

00:01:17Take a look at the image.

00:01:19Can you help Li choose which one she shouldn't eat?

00:01:30Let's see.

00:01:31That one on the bottom left corner looks suspicious.

00:01:34It has a green fog coming out of it.

00:01:37It's probably from some heavy type of poison, isn't it?

00:01:42Lily got out of that one okay.

00:01:45Next, Zormir showed Lily a strange painting.

00:01:48He changed the image on the painting to show one of his illusions.

00:01:52Can you figure out which word is hidden here?

00:02:02It's the word never.

00:02:06To get to the next level, Lily had to guess the answer to this simple riddle.

00:02:10What has keys but can't open locks and speaks without a mouth?

00:02:14It took the girl a while to figure it out, but she got it right.

00:02:19Do you know what she answered?

00:02:28It's a piano.

00:02:32Lily was taken to an empty room in the castle.

00:02:35It had nothing except four doors.

00:02:38The great Zormir told Lily that she had to find a time machine behind one of these doors

00:02:43and left her a clue.

00:02:45Trust only one of the inscriptions and it will lead you to the treasure.

00:02:50On each door there was a sign.

00:02:53The sign on the door A said,

00:02:55It's behind B or C.

00:02:58The sign behind door B said,

00:03:00It's behind A or D.

00:03:03Door C said,

00:03:04It's in here.

00:03:05And door D claimed,

00:03:07It isn't here.

00:03:09Can you guess which door Lily opened?

00:03:21Let's see how this would work.

00:03:23If the time machine was behind door A, then both B and D would be true.

00:03:28But if it was behind door B, then both A and D would be true.

00:03:33If it was behind door C, then A, C and D are all true.

00:03:38But if the time machine was behind door D,

00:03:41then the statements on all the other doors were false,

00:03:44except for that on door B.

00:03:46This matched the rules, so it was behind door D.

00:03:51Lily opened the door and found the time machine.

00:03:54Next to it, there was a super modern digital lock asking for a code of access.

00:04:00The catch was, as well as numbers, there were emojis.

00:04:04Lily had no idea which combination to press,

00:04:07but she saw that Zormier left a clue on a paper note.

00:04:122 plus 2.

00:04:143 plus 3.

00:04:167 plus 7.

00:04:17Can you help Lily out here?

00:04:27This is a tricky one.

00:04:29What she needed to do is overlay the numbers on top of each other.

00:04:33Once she's done that, she should flip the numbers on the second row.

00:04:37This way she'd get the image of a fish, of the number 8, and of a triangle.

00:04:42So the correct combination to unlock it was

00:04:45the fish emoji, the number 8, and a triangle.

00:04:48Yikes.

00:04:49The great Zormier had set the time machine back to prehistoric ages,

00:04:55so Lily was zapped straight back to the ancient past.

00:04:59Take a look at the image.

00:05:01Can you spot the other time traveler in the picture?

00:05:12Ah, that's the one right there.

00:05:15He's holding a flashlight.

00:05:17I mean, those certainly didn't exist back in the day.

00:05:21Lily went to talk to the other time traveler

00:05:23to see if he knew how she could get back to her normal timeline.

00:05:27He would only answer her question if she answered his riddle correctly.

00:05:31He asked her,

00:05:32What has a heart that doesn't beat and a bank that doesn't hold a cent?

00:05:45She was extremely confused by this one,

00:05:48A deck of cards.

00:05:51The guy was impressed and told Lily that to go back to her normal timeline,

00:05:55she had to figure out what was hidden in another of Zormier's illusions.

00:06:00Can you guess what word is hidden here?

00:06:10It's the word dog.

00:06:12Way to go.

00:06:14Lily got back to her normal timeline,

00:06:16but instead of going back to the castle,

00:06:18she found herself stranded on a deserted island.

00:06:22There was a note from Zormier saying,

00:06:24The game is just getting started.

00:06:26You need to find the slang's witch and ask for her help.

00:06:30Take a look at the image.

00:06:32Can you find something that might help Lily find the witch?

00:06:43Ah, you sure have an eye for detail.

00:06:45There are four pieces of torn paper that together form a map.

00:06:49The map leads the way to the witch's abode.

00:06:52Walking through the forest on her way to the witch's house,

00:06:55Lily runs into a bear.

00:06:58She has to make a quick decision.

00:07:00She can either run away from the bear as fast as she can,

00:07:03or she can raise her hands and walk steadily backward until the bear is out of sight.

00:07:08What is Lily's best option?

00:07:19If she ran, the bear might feel under attack and end up hurting her.

00:07:23She should choose the second option.

00:07:26Finally, that looks like a witch's house.

00:07:30She knocks and the witch lets her inside.

00:07:33She asks the witch for help, but the witch is worried about something else.

00:07:38Earlier that day, she was working on a new love potion with the help of her elves.

00:07:43When she noticed that her precious hawk feather was missing,

00:07:47she asked if Lily could find out which elf had taken it.

00:07:50Lily said yes and began to interview the elves.

00:07:54Arian said that he was giving apples to the fairies halfway through the making of the potion,

00:07:59and that before that, he made sure that the witch had every ingredient she needed for the spell.

00:08:05Elowen said he was at another cauldron testing an anti-aging potion.

00:08:10He also said he was sure to see the feather before the witch started the job.

00:08:14Ellaria was sorting out the bad herbs from the herbs all afternoon

00:08:18and didn't notice anything weird going on in the house.

00:08:22Lily took some time to think about the elves' testimony

00:08:25and finally figured out the answer.

00:08:28Can you tell who did it?

00:08:37It wasn't any of the elves.

00:08:40Lily noticed that the feather had fallen down and was stuck in a crack on the floor.

00:08:46The witch must have let it fall down and didn't notice it on the floor.

00:08:51The witch was happy with Lily's help and told her she would help Lily run away from the great Zormir.

00:08:57She opened three portals and let Lily choose the one she wanted to go through.

00:09:02The first portal would lead Lily to New York City.

00:09:05The second portal would lead her directly to her school.

00:09:08And the last portal would lead her to a beautiful island in the Bahamas.

00:09:13Take a look at the image.

00:09:15Which portal should she choose?

00:09:19Well, it could be fun to visit New York City, but there's a huge snowstorm going on.

00:09:24And why would anyone want to go to an island surrounded by sharks?

00:09:28Lily should just go back to school.

00:09:31She skipped enough classes.

00:09:43The leader of the elves, the witch, had a plan.

00:09:47Believe it or not, this optical illusion will let you know if you should drive in the rain or not.

00:09:53Take a look at this image.

00:09:55Try to find the sequence of numbers hidden inside it.

00:09:58OK, go!

00:10:05Did you say 3,452,839?

00:10:11If you did, then your contrast sensitivity is on point!

00:10:15The so-called contrast sensitivity helps you to clearly see the outline of small objects.

00:10:21If this feature is not well developed in your system,

00:10:24then you shouldn't really drive in the rain or even when it's foggy out.

00:10:32Take a look at this image.

00:10:34What animal is not depicted here?

00:10:36A rabbit, a duck, or a snail?

00:10:46The picture definitely doesn't depict a snail.

00:10:49Way to go if you got that right!

00:10:56How many different scenes can you spot in this image?

00:10:59Three? Four? Take a guess.

00:11:08It's only two.

00:11:09You should be able to see the chalice in the first scene.

00:11:12And then, when you change your focus,

00:11:14you should be able to spot the profile of two faces with a white background.

00:11:24OK, take a look at both images.

00:11:26Can you tell if the circle on the right is larger than the circle on the left?

00:11:32Believe it or not, these two circles are actually the exact same size!

00:11:38This illusion is known as the Ebbinghaus illusion,

00:11:41and it was discovered by a German physiologist in the early 1900s.

00:11:46One of the possible explanations for why our brain glitches when looking at this image

00:11:51is due to the size of the external circles.

00:11:54Since the circles on the right are much larger than the circles on the left,

00:11:58they make the one from the right look smaller than the one on the left.

00:12:06Can you stare at this parrot's eye for 15 seconds?

00:12:10Just keep staring at it. I'll tell you when you can close your eyes.

00:12:15You're about to witness a great example of an afterimage.

00:12:19Three, two, one, and close your eyes.

00:12:29Now open your eyes.

00:12:43Can you see a red parrot?

00:12:45Isn't it amazing that even though this parrot is black and white,

00:12:48you have the illusion of seeing the color red?

00:12:51Again, this is just your brain trying to guess the color of something.

00:12:59Behind all of these little black dots, there's an image.

00:13:03Are you part of the 1% of people that can see it?

00:13:13It's a minion! Congrats if you spotted that.

00:13:19Here's another one in this style. Can you see what's hidden here?

00:13:29It's a ninja turtle! Honestly, did you need to be a bit of a ninja to see that one?

00:13:38And what about this one?

00:13:46My, my, it's Homer Simpson!

00:13:52So now there's something hidden behind black stripes.

00:13:55How's your x-ray vision working?

00:13:59You got it if you said it's one of the dragons from How to Train Your Dragon.

00:14:03That's cute.

00:14:09Can you tell which circle in this image is the darkest one?

00:14:20Uh-oh, that was totally a trick question.

00:14:23All the circles are red.

00:14:25Uh-oh, that was totally a trick question.

00:14:27All the circles are exactly the same color.

00:14:30This is a classic example of the saturation optical illusion.

00:14:34It shows how our brain perceives color in a very subjective way.

00:14:38The lighting and background of an object influence how we see it.

00:14:42So when the gray circle is put against a darker background,

00:14:45we tend to believe it's brighter than its true color.

00:14:48And vice versa.

00:14:51This illusion is called the Impossible Triangle.

00:14:55But wait, what makes it so impossible?

00:14:58You only have a few seconds to figure that out.

00:15:08The so-called Penrose Triangle is also known as the Impossible Triangle

00:15:13because it could never exist in reality.

00:15:17This magical triangle defies the laws of Euclidean geometry.

00:15:21If you follow the ball sliding on the surface of the triangle from the top point,

00:15:25you'll notice something strange.

00:15:28It looks like the left side of the triangle is extending away from the viewer,

00:15:32while the right side is closer to you.

00:15:35The Penrose Triangle is the type of geometrical figure

00:15:38that can only exist as an optical illusion

00:15:41because this is what it looks like if we dismember it.

00:15:45Not a triangle at all, huh?

00:15:51Take a look at this image.

00:15:53Which line do you think continues the black one?

00:15:56The red line or the blue line?

00:16:05As much as it looks like it's the blue line, it's actually the red line.

00:16:09This illusion was first talked about in the 1960s

00:16:12and it's called the Poggendorf illusion.

00:16:15This is a classic example of how our brain perceives geometric shapes and depth.

00:16:20According to scientists,

00:16:22our brain tries to perceive two-dimensional pictures with three-dimensional properties.

00:16:27This is why it distorts the depth between lines in this image.

00:16:31Pretty intense, huh?

00:16:36Take a look at this staircase.

00:16:39Now let's flip the image upside down.

00:16:41It still looks like a staircase,

00:16:43but instead of going from right to left,

00:16:45it looks like it's going from left to right.

00:16:48Don't blink though.

00:16:49If you blink, the illusion will disappear

00:16:51and you will be left with the original image.

00:17:00This illusion is known as Schroeder's staircase

00:17:03and it was invented by a German scientist, Heinrich Schroeder, back in 1858.

00:17:09It's really simple, but it talks about the same principle we saw in the previous illusion.

00:17:14If we dismember the staircase,

00:17:16you'll notice that the image is actually flat.

00:17:19What our brain perceives as a three-dimensional image

00:17:22is just a combination of shadow and light.

00:17:25This means that the 3D itself is already an optical illusion.

00:17:31This happens because our brain captures images

00:17:34and tries to fit them into what it already knows.

00:17:37It sees a shadow in a 2D image and it understands it as depth.

00:17:42Basically, it creates an unreal perspective of the object in front of our eyes.

00:17:47In this case, we call it a three-dimensional perspective.

00:17:54These circles seem to be moving pretty much everywhere they're told.

00:17:58Do you believe they are really moving?

00:18:01Or could we say that they're stationary?

00:18:08I know it's hard to believe, but they're not moving an inch.

00:18:12This illusion has baffled the Internet,

00:18:15but this is what's going on behind the scenes.

00:18:18There's a very, very thin inner and outer edge to these circles,

00:18:22and these edges are a different color than the bulk of the circle.

00:18:26To create the illusion, animators make these outer edges move,

00:18:30but since there's a variation in color,

00:18:32our brain interprets it as the entire circle moving.

00:18:37That's why even if we block the arrows,

00:18:40we still have the impression that the circles are moving.

00:18:47Take a look at this image.

00:18:49It looks like the square in the middle is breathing, right?

00:18:52Like it's growing in size and then shrinking.

00:18:55What if I told you that it's just rotating, but not changing in size?

00:19:06Here's what's happening.

00:19:07This illusion is called motion binding.

00:19:10It happens when our brain tries to predict

00:19:12the movement of one of the elements in the image.

00:19:15Crazy stuff!

00:19:20Let's try another one.

00:19:22Stare at the cross in the middle of this image for 10 seconds,

00:19:25starting now.

00:19:37Did all of the colors from the image fade away

00:19:40and all you could see was a white page?

00:19:43Bizarrely, our brain just erases all the nuanced colors

00:19:46and leaves you with a white screen.

00:19:52First up, we have what looks like a gray bar

00:19:54moving up and down on an orange background.

00:19:57But if you stare at this little black dot,

00:19:59you may see the gray bar turn into a different color.

00:20:03What color did you see?

00:20:07Blue.

00:20:11Did you say blue?

00:20:13Yep, that was it!

00:20:18There's a graphic city with a dot in the middle of it.

00:20:21Stare at this dot for around 10 seconds, starting now.

00:20:37Wow, what just happened?

00:20:39Even after the picture turns black and white,

00:20:42our brain is still able to perceive the original colors.

00:20:45This is another example of an afterimage.

00:20:48After we've fed our brain with a fixed image of something,

00:20:52when we turn it black and white,

00:20:54our brain is still trying to guess the colors of it.

00:20:59They say seeing is believing, but is it really?

00:21:02Optical illusions have a mind-boggling way to trick our brains.

00:21:05They use a combination of color, light, or particular patterns

00:21:08that can make us see things that aren't there.

00:21:11Today, we're taking our brains for a test drive

00:21:13and seeing how these illusions work.

00:21:15Let's start easy.

00:21:17Behind all of these little black dots, there's an image.

00:21:20Are you part of the 1% of people that can see it?

00:21:26It's a minion. Congrats if you spotted that.

00:21:29Here's another one in this style. Can you see what's hidden here?

00:21:36It's a ninja turtle.

00:21:39Honestly, you did need to be a bit of a ninja to see that one.

00:21:42And what about this one?

00:21:52It's Homer Simpson.

00:21:54So now there's something hidden behind black stripes.

00:21:57How's your x-ray vision working?

00:21:59You got it if you said it's one of the dragons from How to Train Your Dragon.

00:22:02That's cute.

00:22:04We're moving on to phase two, so this will get a little bit trickier.

00:22:07Okay?

00:22:09Your task is to find the fourth object in each image.

00:22:12You have seven seconds to spot all four items.

00:22:14Three, two, one, go.

00:22:16Your task is to find the fourth object in each image.

00:22:18You have seven seconds to spot all four items.

00:22:20Three, two, one, go.

00:22:32Hm. Did anyone find the straw by any chance?

00:22:35Hm. Did anyone find the straw by any chance?

00:22:45Anyways, could you spot the nail?

00:22:57What was hardest for you to find?

00:22:59The egg or the button?

00:23:01So now we're going to step up our game.

00:23:03This is medium level difficulty and you'll have seven seconds to find all four items.

00:23:07Ready? Go.

00:23:19Hm. Did anyone find the french fries?

00:23:21I sure didn't.

00:23:23Up next, four women and a baby.

00:23:25Yikes! This is hard.

00:23:27Could anyone spot the hair comb?

00:23:29Here's another one for you.

00:23:39Where on earth was that banana hiding?

00:23:41Good luck with this next one.

00:23:44Where on earth was that banana hiding?

00:23:47Good luck with this next one.

00:23:56So the envelope is hiding behind the bathroom pipe.

00:24:00I love black and white.

00:24:09But I'm still searching for that white egg if you ask me.

00:24:14If this were my room, my mom would be telling me to clean it up ASAP.

00:24:26It took me a while to find that little birdie, but the mission was successful.

00:24:31Good morning, y'all. Oh, bummer. I couldn't find the book. Could you?

00:24:44What object can't you find here?

00:24:55I had trouble locating the brush. Too many details, too little time.

00:25:00I have to say, you do have a pretty good eye for detail.

00:25:03But we're changing the game now.

00:25:05You know what they say.

00:25:07You need to keep changing the stimulus to make your brain work better and better.

00:25:10So now, it's emoji time.

00:25:13You'll have four seconds in this round.

00:25:23Did you see that one of them didn't have laughing tears?

00:25:26Where's the really sad emoji?

00:25:33And here I was thinking that clowns were supposed to be happy.

00:25:36I guess we all have our bad days, huh?

00:25:38What about this one?

00:25:44Oh, it's the browless one, isn't it?

00:25:47Can you spot the odd one?

00:25:54Oh, so it's a dairy-free burger.

00:25:57There's one with a different grim on its face.

00:26:03That's the one!

00:26:06I think your eyes are pretty warmed up now.

00:26:08So we'll move on to some hard-level optical illusions, okay?

00:26:12This first one is called the impossible triangle.

00:26:14But wait, what makes it so impossible?

00:26:17You have seven seconds to figure that out.

00:26:28The so-called Penrose Triangle is also known as the impossible triangle

00:26:31because it could never exist in reality.

00:26:34This magical triangle defies the laws of Euclidean geometry.

00:26:38If you follow the ball sliding on the surface of the triangle from the top point,

00:26:42you'll notice something strange.

00:26:44It looks like the left side of the triangle is extending away from the viewer,

00:26:47while the right side is closer to you.

00:26:50The Penrose Triangle is the type of geometrical figure

00:26:52that can only exist as an optical illusion

00:26:55because this is what it looks like if we dismember it.

00:26:58Not a triangle at all, huh?

00:27:02And this next illusion is called the Pac-Man Chaser.

00:27:04You'll see why.

00:27:05Stare at the central cross for five seconds.

00:27:08The image appears to be in motion, doesn't it?

00:27:10And you might also see a green disc appear in between the lilac spheres from time to time.

00:27:15Now, this image allows us to witness two illusions simultaneously.

00:27:19Firstly, although the image appears to be in continuous motion,

00:27:23nothing here is moving, we promise.

00:27:26This phenomenon is known as the phi phenomenon.

00:27:29It happens when stationary objects are placed side by side

00:27:32and illuminated rapidly one after another,

00:27:34creating an illusion of movement.

00:27:36Now look at the center of the image again.

00:27:38Can you see the green disc?

00:27:40This second illusion is called an afterimage,

00:27:43and this happens when your brain tries to substitute an item with something else

00:27:46as the original item disappears.

00:27:48But why is it green, you might ask?

00:27:50That's because green is lilac's complementary color.

00:27:53If we were to change the color of the disc to blue,

00:27:56then the color of the gap changes to yellow,

00:27:58which is blue's complementary color.

00:28:00Neat, right?

00:28:01Can you stare at this parrot's eye for 15 seconds?

00:28:04Just keep staring at it.

00:28:06I'll tell you when you can close your eyes.

00:28:08You're about to witness another example of an afterimage.

00:28:163, 2, 1, end.

00:28:18Close your eyes.

00:28:20Can you see a red parrot?

00:28:22Isn't it amazing that even though this parrot is black and white,

00:28:25you have the illusion of seeing the color red?

00:28:28Again, this is just your brain trying to guess the color of something.

00:28:32Don't these snakes move beautifully?

00:28:34Except that, um, they're actually stationary.

00:28:37This classic optical illusion is caused by repeating asymmetrical patterns

00:28:41together with specific color schemes.

00:28:43The illusion mixes lighter colors, like yellow and white,

00:28:46with darker shades of blue and black.

00:28:48This combination makes your retina send signals to your brain,

00:28:51claiming that these circles are moving.

00:28:53If you want to debunk this illusion and see things as they really are,

00:28:57you need to stare straight at one part of the image.

00:29:00This way, you'll see that the rotation will slowly come to a stop.

00:29:05Take a look at this image.

00:29:07It looks like the square in the middle is breathing, right?

00:29:10Like it's growing in size and then shrinking?

00:29:12What if I told you that it's just rotating, but not changing its size?

00:29:17Here's what's happening.

00:29:18This illusion is called motion binding.

00:29:20It happens when our brain tries to predict the movement of one of the elements in the image.

00:29:25Crazy stuff!

00:29:27This one's another example of a motion binding illusion.

00:29:31These four bars seem to be moving in parallel with each other.

00:29:34Right?

00:29:35Wrong!

00:29:36They are all part of the same moving square.

00:29:39Here's what's happening behind the scenes.

00:29:41Our brain just gets confused.

00:29:44How many bars can you count here?

00:29:46This illusion has left the internet baffled.

00:29:48People have counted as many as 11 bars,

00:29:50but most people count between 8 and 7 bars.

00:29:53According to the creator of this image,

00:29:55there are only 6 complete bars.

00:29:57Try counting from top to bottom,

00:29:59and you'll notice that the upper bars are real.

00:30:02But by the time you get to the 6th bar,

00:30:04things start to get blurry and confusing.

00:30:07That's because the last two bars are incomplete.

00:30:10So when you try making them out,

00:30:12they appear to multiply and only leave you more confused.

00:30:16If you trace your pointer down the 7th and 8th bars,

00:30:19you'll be able to see that they are incomplete.

00:30:21They were only put there to confuse you.

00:30:25Can you tell if the dark blue lines are parallel to each other or inclined?

00:30:29They sure look crooked, but in reality they are not.

00:30:32This classic optical illusion was first described over 100 years ago,

00:30:36but it wasn't until the 1970s that it got its current name,

00:30:39the café wall illusion.

00:30:41A guy named Steve Simpson noticed a similar effect

00:30:44on the wall of a café in Bristol,

00:30:46and here we are.

00:30:47Now let's see how this works.

00:30:49First let's blur the image a little bit.

00:30:51Oh, a little bit more.

00:30:53There you go.

00:30:54This way you'll be able to see that the dark blue lines are parallel to each other.

00:30:58If you look closely,

00:30:59the little black and white bricks at the intersection of wide lines

00:31:03are what makes this illusion possible.

00:31:05In addition to that,

00:31:06the curved elements inside the blue lines

00:31:09help to make the elusive effect even stronger.

00:31:12If you look at this image attentively,

00:31:14you'll notice a moving square that appears to be changing in tone.

00:31:18What shades do you see?

00:31:20Dark, then light, then dark again?

00:31:23Wrong.

00:31:24The square doesn't change at all.

00:31:26The creator of this illusion is Japanese psychologist and artist,

00:31:29Akiyoshi Kitaoka.

00:31:31According to him,

00:31:32you can see your own brain changing its guess about the color of the square.

00:31:35Color is already an illusion created by our brains.

00:31:38It so happens that color is created inside our visual systems.

00:31:42What our eyes perceive as blue

00:31:44is actually a wavelength that is reflected as that color.

00:31:47Moving on,

00:31:48take a look at this staircase.

00:31:50It looks pretty simple, right?

00:31:51Well, now let's flip the image upside down.

00:31:54It still looks like a staircase.

00:31:56But instead of going from right to left,

00:31:58it looks like it's going from left to right.

00:32:00But don't blink.

00:32:01If you blink,

00:32:02the illusion will disappear,

00:32:03and you will be left with the original image.

00:32:05Whoa.

00:32:06This illusion is known as Schroeder's staircase,

00:32:08and it was invented by German scientist Heinrich Schroeder back in 1858.

00:32:12It's simple,

00:32:13yet it reveals a fundamental mechanism of how our brain works.

00:32:16If we dismember the staircase,

00:32:18you'll notice that the image is flat.

00:32:20What our brain perceives as a 3D image

00:32:23is just a combination of shadow and light.

00:32:25This means that the 3D itself is already an optical illusion.

00:32:29This happens because our brain captures images

00:32:32and tries to fit them into what it already knows.

00:32:34So it sees a shadow in a 2D image

00:32:37and understands depth.

00:32:38Basically,

00:32:39it creates an unreal perspective of the object in front of our eyes.

00:32:42In this case,

00:32:43we call it a three-dimensional perspective.

00:32:46Up next,

00:32:47look at this black square crisscrossed with perpendicular white lines.

00:32:50If you look attentively,

00:32:52you'll notice that the white dots

00:32:54situated at the intersection of the grid

00:32:56shift their color from white to gray and back.

00:32:59When you concentrate on a particular dot,

00:33:02you see that it's white,

00:33:03but as soon as your attention wanders,

00:33:05the dot turns gray.

00:33:06That's the Hermann grid illusion.

00:33:08Amazing, isn't it?

00:33:11We can take this illusion one step further

00:33:13by positioning white dots at the intersection of gray lines.

00:33:16All are placed on top of the black background.

00:33:19If you look at this image long enough,

00:33:21you'll notice black dots starting to pop up at the intersections of the grid,

00:33:24creating a scintillating effect.

00:33:27Another name for this illusion

00:33:29is a simultaneous light contrast illusion.

00:33:32As you perceive the dots as white at one moment,

00:33:35and then, almost immediately,

00:33:37you see them as black.

00:33:38So why do our senses let us down

00:33:40by making us see gray or black instead of white?

00:33:42This illusion demonstrates one of the most important principles of human perception.

00:33:46You don't always see things for what they are.

00:33:48The retinal cells in our eyes act as light receptors.

00:33:51When only one receptor gets illuminated,

00:33:53it perceives more light than when its colleagues are also illuminated.

00:33:56This prevents the firing of nearby receptors.

00:33:59With the Hermann grid illusion,

00:34:01the white lines are arranged in such a way

00:34:03that there's more light around the intersections

00:34:05than along the lines themselves.

00:34:07Thus, the dots at the intersections are more inhibited,

00:34:10and you see darker spots.

00:34:12What do you say?

00:34:13Did your eyes pass the test?

00:34:15I guess mine did,

00:34:16but my brain is a little bit tired.

00:34:18See you next time.

00:34:19They say seeing is believing,

00:34:22but is it really so?

00:34:24Optical illusions have a mind-boggling way to trick our brains.

00:34:27They use a combination of colors,

00:34:29light,

00:34:30or particular patterns

00:34:31that can make us see things that aren't there.

00:34:34Today, we're taking our brains for a test drive

00:34:37to see how these illusions work.

00:34:39If you look at this image attentively,

00:34:41you'll notice a moving square that appears to be changing tones.

00:34:45What shades do you see?

00:34:46Dark,

00:34:47then light,

00:34:48then dark again?

00:34:49Wrong.

00:34:50The square doesn't change color at all.

00:34:53The creator of this illusion is a Japanese psychologist

00:34:56and artist, Akiyoshi Kitaoka.

00:34:58According to him,

00:34:59you can see your own brain changing its guess

00:35:02about the color of the square.

00:35:04Color is already an illusion created by our brains.

00:35:07It happens so that the color is created inside our visual systems.

00:35:11What our eyes perceive as blue

00:35:13is actually a wavelength that is reflected as that color.

00:35:18Neuroscientists say

00:35:19that about 50% of our brain is involved in the vision process.

00:35:23Visual signals are dispersed to more than 30 areas of our brain.

00:35:27Each area has a special function to process color,

00:35:30motion, depth, and form.

00:35:32All this information is combined,

00:35:34and voila!

00:35:35We can distinguish shape and color.

00:35:38Funnily enough,

00:35:39neuroscientists still don't understand the details of how all this happens,

00:35:43and neither do we,

00:35:44but we sure give it a try.

00:35:46Moving on,

00:35:47let's take a look at this staircase.

00:35:49It looks pretty simple, right?

00:35:51Well, now let's flip the image upside down.

00:35:54It still looks like a staircase,

00:35:56but instead of going from right to left,

00:35:58it looks like it's going from left to right.

00:36:00But don't blink.

00:36:01If you blink,

00:36:02the illusion will disappear,

00:36:03and you will be left with the original image.

00:36:06Whoa!

00:36:07I think my brain just got really tired.

00:36:10This illusion is known as Schroeder's staircase,

00:36:13and it was invented by a German scientist,

00:36:15Heinrich Schroeder,

00:36:16back in 1858.

00:36:18It's really simple,

00:36:19yet it reveals a fundamental mechanism of how our brain works.

00:36:22Let's understand why.

00:36:24If you sort of disassemble the staircase,

00:36:27you'll notice that the image is flat.

00:36:29What our brain perceives as a 3D image

00:36:31is just a combination of shadow and light.

00:36:34This means that the 3D itself

00:36:36is already an optical illusion.

00:36:39This happens because our brain captures images

00:36:42and tries to fit them into what it already knows,

00:36:45so it sees a shadow in a 2D image

00:36:47and it understands depth.

00:36:49Basically,

00:36:50it creates an unreal perspective of the object

00:36:52in front of our eyes.

00:36:54In this case,

00:36:55we call it a three-dimensional perspective.

00:36:58In 2020,

00:37:00Japanese mathematician,

00:37:01Kokichi Sugihara,

00:37:03took this illusion one step further.

00:37:05Let's take a look.

00:37:06At first glance,

00:37:07it looks just like a regular staircase.

00:37:10Again.

00:37:11But now,

00:37:12let's place an object at the top of the staircase

00:37:14and flip it at a 100-degree angle.

00:37:17I can't believe my eyes with this one.

00:37:19The object that appeared to be on top

00:37:21suddenly looks like it's at the bottom of the staircase.

00:37:24No wonder this work won Best Illusion of 2020.

00:37:27According to Sugihara,

00:37:29with this illusion,

00:37:30we are literally witnessing the way our brain tricks us

00:37:33into perceiving unreal things.

00:37:35At the heart of the illusion is a simple trick.

00:37:38The stairs aren't really stairs.

00:37:40They continue to be a flat 2D surface,

00:37:43making clever use of angles and shading

00:37:46to trick our brains.

00:37:47The 2D image was printed

00:37:49and glued into a basic 3D structure,

00:37:52but there is no real depth in the stairs,

00:37:54just the illusion of it.

00:37:56Got it?

00:37:58Look at this image for a moment

00:38:00and tell me how many bars you can count.

00:38:02This illusion has left the Internet baffled.

00:38:05People have counted as many as 11 bars,

00:38:07but most count about 7 to 8 bars.

00:38:10According to the creator of this image,

00:38:12there are only 6 complete bars.

00:38:14Try counting from top to bottom

00:38:16and you'll notice that the upper bars are real.

00:38:19But by the time you get to the 6th bar,

00:38:21things start to get blurry and confusing.

00:38:23That's because the last 2 bars are incomplete,

00:38:26so when you try to count them,

00:38:27they appear to multiply

00:38:29and only leave you more confused.

00:38:31If you trace your pointer down the 7th and 8th bar,

00:38:34you'll be able to see that they are incomplete.

00:38:37They were only put there to confuse you.

00:38:41Can you tell if the dark blue lines

00:38:43are parallel to each other

00:38:45or whether they're inclined?

00:38:47They sure look crooked,

00:38:48but in reality, they're not.

00:38:50This classical optical illusion

00:38:52was first described over 100 years ago,

00:38:55but it wasn't until the 1970s

00:38:57that it got its current name.

00:39:02A guy named Steve Simpson

00:39:03noticed a similar effect

00:39:04on the wall of a cafe in Bristol,

00:39:06and here we are.

00:39:08Now, let's see how this works.

00:39:11First, let's blur the image a little bit.

00:39:14Oh, a little bit more.

00:39:15There you go.

00:39:16This way, you'll be able to see

00:39:17that the dark blue lines

00:39:19are parallel to each other.

00:39:20If you look closely,

00:39:22the little black and white bricks

00:39:23at the intersection of white lines

00:39:25are what made this illusion possible.

00:39:28In addition to that,

00:39:29the curved elements inside the blue lines

00:39:31help to make the elusive effect even stronger.

00:39:34We'll understand why in a little bit.

00:39:38Up next, look at this black square

00:39:40crisscrossed with perpendicular white lines.

00:39:43If you look attentively,

00:39:44you'll notice that the white dots

00:39:46situated at the intersection of the grid

00:39:48shift their color from white to gray and black.

00:39:51When you concentrate on a particular dot,

00:39:53you'll see that it's white,

00:39:55but as soon as your attention wanders,

00:39:57the dot turns gray.

00:39:59That's the Hermann grid illusion.

00:40:01Amazing, isn't it?

00:40:03We can take this illusion one step further

00:40:05by positioning white dots

00:40:07at the intersection of gray lines.

00:40:09All of them are placed

00:40:10on top of the black background.

00:40:12If you look at this image for long enough,

00:40:14you'll notice black dots

00:40:15starting to pop up

00:40:16at the intersections of the grid,

00:40:18creating a scintillating effect.

00:40:21Another name for this illusion

00:40:22is a simultaneous light contrast illusion.

00:40:25As you perceive the dots as white at one moment,

00:40:28and then, almost immediately,

00:40:30you see them as black.

00:40:32So, why do our senses let us down

00:40:34by making us see gray or black instead of white?

00:40:38This illusion demonstrates

00:40:40one of the most important principles

00:40:42of human perception.

00:40:43You don't always see things

00:40:45for what they really are.

00:40:47The retinal cells in our eyes

00:40:49act as light receptors.

00:40:51When only one cell receptor gets illuminated,

00:40:54it perceives more light

00:40:55than when its colleagues are also illuminated.

00:40:58This prevents the firing of nearby receptors.

00:41:01With the Hermann grid illusion,

00:41:03the white lines are arranged

00:41:04in such a way that there's more light

00:41:06around the intersections

00:41:08than along the lines themselves.

00:41:10Thus, the dots at the intersections

00:41:12are more inhibited,

00:41:13and you see darker spots.

00:41:16This next illusion is called

00:41:18the Pac-Man chaser.

00:41:19You'll see why.

00:41:20Stare at the central cross for five seconds.

00:41:27The image appears to be in motion, doesn't it?

00:41:29And you might also see a green disc appear

00:41:32in between the lilac spheres from time to time.

00:41:35Now, this image allows us to witness

00:41:37two illusions simultaneously.

00:41:39Even though the image appears to be

00:41:41in continuous motion,

00:41:42nothing here is moving.

00:41:44We promise.

00:41:45This phenomenon is known as the phi phenomenon.

00:41:48It happens when stationary objects

00:41:50are placed side by side

00:41:52and illuminated rapidly

00:41:53one after the other,

00:41:55creating an illusion of movement.

00:41:57Now look at the center of the image again.

00:42:00Can you see the green disc?

00:42:02This illusion is called an afterimage,

00:42:05and this happens when your brain

00:42:06tries to substitute an item

00:42:08with something else

00:42:09as the original item disappears.

00:42:11But why is it green, you might ask.

00:42:13That's because green is lilac's

00:42:15complementary color.

00:42:17If we were to change the color

00:42:18of the disc to blue,

00:42:20then the color of the gap

00:42:21changes to yellow,

00:42:23which is blue's complementary color.

00:42:25Neat, right?

00:42:27This fresh set of optical illusions

00:42:29will definitely challenge

00:42:30your visual perception.

00:42:32If your brain isn't happy

00:42:33when you look at things

00:42:34that spin and flash,

00:42:35be careful and get somebody

00:42:37to watch this astonishing

00:42:38illusionary art with you.

00:42:40Ready?

00:42:41Go full screen,

00:42:42and let's get started.

00:42:44Take a look at this pair of circles.

00:42:54It's not an illusion.

00:42:55They're identical,

00:42:56and they do rotate.

00:42:58But they don't actually move

00:43:00across the screen.

00:43:01The arrows confuse your brain,

00:43:03so it seems that the circles

00:43:04are shrinking and even

00:43:05moving back and forth.

00:43:07If you manage to focus

00:43:08your gaze so that they

00:43:09stop moving,

00:43:10you're a wizard.

00:43:12What about this shining star?

00:43:15Is it static or dynamic?

00:43:26Although the star seems

00:43:27to be pulsing,

00:43:28its size doesn't change at all.

00:43:31But its popping color

00:43:32creates an illusion of movement.

00:43:35Let's move on to our next one.

00:43:37Check this out.

00:43:38Can you spot any movement?

00:43:49This picture is static.

00:43:51But if you take your time

00:43:52to look at these flowers carefully,

00:43:54your brain will definitely

00:43:55convince you that they're moving.

00:43:58What about this picture?

00:44:03The direction of this pattern

00:44:05makes the brain think that

00:44:06the circle is rotating to the left.

00:44:08But it's a lie.

00:44:10The same goes for this cute pattern.

00:44:22Can you see it spinning around?

00:44:25What about this picture?

00:44:27Can you spot any movement?

00:44:33Well, in this case,

00:44:35it's not surprising because

00:44:36this image is animated.

00:44:38An optical illusion is not

00:44:39always an optical illusion,

00:44:41so be careful.

00:44:43Let's take a look at the next one.

00:44:46This star seems to be dancing

00:44:48because its asymmetrical shape

00:44:49confuses your brain's expectations.

00:44:52Maybe it's time to ask ourselves,

00:44:54what else is my brain

00:44:55lying to me about right now?

00:44:58What do you think?

00:45:00Let us know in the comments.

00:45:15What can you say about

00:45:16this beautiful pattern?

00:45:18Is it just a basic optical illusion

00:45:20or an animated video?

00:45:30That's right, it's an animation!

00:45:33Here's our next one.

00:45:35If you focus all your attention

00:45:37on the middle of this picture,

00:45:38it will soon begin to move.

00:45:46But, in fact, it stays the same.

00:45:49Don't let your brain

00:45:50play tricks on you.

00:45:52Your perception of this image

00:45:53may change if you blink

00:45:54a bunch of times

00:45:55and shake your head.

00:45:57Moving on,

00:45:58take a look at this tricky pattern.

00:46:00Is this image static?

00:46:11Yes, it truly is.

00:46:13Some optical illusions

00:46:14work by fooling around

00:46:15with contrasts

00:46:16in our field of vision.

00:46:27These two circles

00:46:28consist of small

00:46:29rotating striped circles.

00:46:31They appear to change

00:46:32the direction of rotating

00:46:34thanks to how our brains

00:46:35deal with information

00:46:36immediately within our focus.

00:46:38It's different from the way

00:46:39our brain works.

00:46:42It's different from the way

00:46:43it processes peripheral information.

00:46:45You can see it

00:46:46when you focus on one circle

00:46:47and then on another.

00:46:49Are you dizzy yet?

00:46:51Let's move on to the next one.

00:46:53Zigzag is a great tool

00:46:54to create a bunch

00:46:55of optical illusions

00:46:56that can make you feel

00:46:57like you're flying.

00:46:59But this particular

00:47:00zigzag pattern is animated.

00:47:02Is it?

00:47:12Nope.

00:47:13It's a static picture.

00:47:14Be careful with zigzags.

00:47:16The next optical illusion

00:47:17will make you see

00:47:18with your eyes closed.

00:47:20All you have to do

00:47:21is stare at this

00:47:22Marilyn Monroe's nose

00:47:24at the center of this portrait.

00:47:26Continue staring

00:47:27at the same spot

00:47:28for at least 7 seconds

00:47:30and try not to blink.

00:47:31Ready?

00:47:327

00:47:336

00:47:345

00:47:354

00:47:363

00:47:372

00:47:381

00:47:40Now take a look at your ceiling

00:47:41and blink a bunch of times.

00:47:43Close your eyes.

00:47:44Can you still see the portrait?

00:47:46Don't worry.

00:47:47It'll disappear in a few seconds.

00:47:49This optical illusion

00:47:50is called an afterimage.

00:47:52It appears after

00:47:53you've stared at an image

00:47:54for some time.

00:47:56Usually it requires

00:47:57around 30 seconds.

00:47:59Then you close your eyes

00:48:00or look at a white piece

00:48:01of paper afterwards.

00:48:03Overstimulation makes

00:48:04the rods and cones

00:48:05in your eyes

00:48:06lose sensitivity.

00:48:08That's why for a short

00:48:09period afterward

00:48:10you interpret colors

00:48:11as their paired primary color.

00:48:14Now let's take a look

00:48:15at this tricky pattern.

00:48:17Is this image static

00:48:18or dynamic?

00:48:28It's not an optical illusion.

00:48:31This pattern is animated.

00:48:33If you managed to guess,

00:48:34great job!

00:48:36Now let's take a look

00:48:37at this one.

00:48:38Do these spheres

00:48:39move across the screen?

00:48:50Nope, they don't.

00:48:52If you were careful enough,

00:48:53you noticed the top moving

00:48:54when you squinted

00:48:55and concentrated

00:48:56on the spheres.

00:48:58This optical illusion

00:48:59is static.

00:49:08But if you take your time

00:49:09and focus on the center

00:49:10of the screen,

00:49:11it will begin to rotate.

00:49:13Let's move on

00:49:14to our next one.

00:49:15This optical illusion

00:49:16will make you feel

00:49:17like a magician

00:49:18and level up

00:49:19your concentration skills.

00:49:21At this point,

00:49:22you probably see

00:49:23that the static circles

00:49:24begin to move,

00:49:25pop and spin slightly.

00:49:27But which way?

00:49:38There's no right answer here.

00:49:41The largest circle

00:49:42probably spins to the left.

00:49:44But if you switch your focus

00:49:46to the center of the image,

00:49:47the same circle

00:49:48will begin to spin

00:49:49to the right.

00:49:50The movement will change

00:49:52depending on which layer

00:49:53of this image

00:49:54you're currently focusing on.

00:49:57Arrows inside

00:49:58these colorful circles

00:49:59may confuse your vision.

00:50:08Try not to look at them,

00:50:09and you'll notice

00:50:10that the circles

00:50:11inside this illusion

00:50:12aren't changing their shape

00:50:13or moving at all.

00:50:15It's pretty clear

00:50:16that this crazy watermelon

00:50:18isn't spinning.

00:50:19Isn't it?

00:50:29Nope.

00:50:30If you screw up with your eyes,

00:50:32you can verify this

00:50:33by focusing your gaze

00:50:34on the sphere.

00:50:37See?

00:50:38It doesn't move anymore.

00:50:40This figure can begin

00:50:41to move like a snake,

00:50:42and the black points

00:50:43will begin to blink white.

00:50:54But don't let your brain fool you.

00:50:56This image is still the same.

00:50:58Are you dizzy yet?

00:51:00Let's experiment

00:51:01with disappearing dots.

00:51:03Focus on the central green dot.

00:51:05Try not to blink for a while.

00:51:16You will see

00:51:17one or more of the yellow dots

00:51:19disappearing

00:51:20and then reappearing randomly.

00:51:22Here's another illusion

00:51:24with disappearing dots.

00:51:26Thousands of people worldwide

00:51:27complained that

00:51:28this simple optical illusion

00:51:29had made them question reality.

00:51:32There are 12 black dots

00:51:33at the intersections of this image,

00:51:35but your brain won't let you

00:51:36see them all at once.

00:51:38Well, how many dots did you count?

00:51:49There are 12 black dots

00:51:50in this image,

00:51:51and it's a fact.

00:51:53But most people can't see

00:51:54all 12 dots at once.

00:51:56When you're focusing

00:51:57on that black dot

00:51:58in the center of your field of view,

00:52:00your visual system

00:52:01is automatically filling in

00:52:02what's going on around it.

00:52:04And this regular pattern

00:52:05of gray lines

00:52:06on a white background

00:52:07makes your brain suggest

00:52:08that there are

00:52:09no black dots at all.

00:52:11That's why you miss

00:52:12the intermittent black dots,

00:52:14or they disappear

00:52:15and reappear

00:52:16as your eye jitters around.

00:52:18This cute animation

00:52:19is also very tricky.

00:52:22It pictures a moon

00:52:23and six stars surrounding it.

00:52:25There's also

00:52:26a dotted circular layer

00:52:27moving in the background.

00:52:29Try not to move your head at all.

00:52:31If you manage to focus

00:52:32your eyes on the moon

00:52:33and stay perfectly still,

00:52:35you'll soon notice

00:52:36that the stars

00:52:37begin to disappear.

00:52:39How many of them

00:52:40did you make disappear?

00:52:50There's no one

00:52:51correct answer here.

00:52:52The number of disappeared stars

00:52:54depends on your perception.

00:52:56This tricky wheel

00:52:57can make your brain think

00:52:58that it rotates,

00:53:00but it's a lie.

00:53:10You may notice

00:53:11that the wheel

00:53:12changes the direction

00:53:13when you tilt your head

00:53:14to the right or to the left.

00:53:16This trick will make

00:53:17your hands melt like water.

00:53:19Don't worry,

00:53:20it's not forever.

00:53:21Keep staring at the center

00:53:22of the screen for 30 seconds.

00:53:24Try not to blink.

00:53:30Try not to blink.

00:53:55Now take a look

00:53:56at your hands.

00:53:57Are they melting?

00:53:58You can also look

00:53:59at some text

00:54:00and notice

00:54:01that your vision is wavy.

00:54:03Take a look

00:54:04at this tricky optical illusion.

00:54:05What can you say

00:54:06about this wheel?

00:54:07Is it static or dynamic?

00:54:18It's static.

00:54:19Your brain plays tricks on you.

00:54:22Now let's give your eyes

00:54:23a little break

00:54:24by changing the task.

00:54:25Can you spot

00:54:26an odd monkey out?

00:54:30Here it is.

00:54:32Can you find

00:54:33a different monster out?

00:54:44This guy in the right corner

00:54:45doesn't look as happy

00:54:46as the others.

00:54:48There are many zeros in here.

00:54:50Can you also see

00:54:51another hidden number?

00:54:56Here it is.

00:54:57Does this pattern

00:54:58consist of red apples only?

00:55:11Nope.

00:55:12Here's one tomato.

00:55:14Can you find

00:55:15two similar emojis

00:55:16among this variety?

00:55:18Here it is.

00:55:19Can you find

00:55:20two similar emojis

00:55:21among this variety?

00:55:23Nope.

00:55:24Here's one tomato.

00:55:26Among this variety.

00:55:36Here they are.

00:55:38What about this set of emojis?

00:55:40Can you see

00:55:41two identical emojis?

00:55:51Here they are.

00:55:53Take a look

00:55:54at these emojis.

00:55:55Are they all different?

00:56:05Nope.

00:56:06These two emojis

00:56:07are similar.

00:56:09How many emojis

00:56:10can you find

00:56:11among this variety?

00:56:21There are three.

00:56:23What about this collection?

00:56:24Can you spot

00:56:25any identical emojis here?

00:56:36This task is tricky.

00:56:37All these emojis

00:56:38are different.

00:56:39If you managed

00:56:40to crack our trick,

00:56:41good job!

00:56:43Take a look at this set.

00:56:45Can you find

00:56:46a pair of identical emojis?

00:56:55Nope.

00:56:56It's impossible

00:56:57because these two

00:56:58are similar.

00:57:00Does this cat crowd

00:57:01have any odd details?

00:57:10This guy over here

00:57:11is not a cat.

00:57:12It's a rabbit.

00:57:14Can you find

00:57:15a four-leaf clover in here?

00:57:25Here it is.

00:57:26Lucky you!

00:57:29Get ready for a new set

00:57:30of absolutely amazing

00:57:31optical illusions.

00:57:33Concentrate hard

00:57:34and don't let them trick you.

00:57:36Number one.

00:57:37Look at these circles

00:57:38attentively

00:57:39and you'll notice

00:57:40they're rotating.

00:57:48But that's just an illusion.

00:57:50The circles are

00:57:51completely still.

00:57:52Number two.

00:57:53Which is bigger?

00:57:54The hat's height

00:57:55or its width?

00:58:04They're absolutely the same.

00:58:06Your eyes are playing

00:58:07tricks on you.

00:58:09Number three.

00:58:10Which tower is leaning more?

00:58:19Ha!

00:58:20Look at that!

00:58:21They're the same.

00:58:22Even though one tower

00:58:23seems to be lopsided

00:58:24when placed next

00:58:25to a copy of itself,

00:58:26this is called

00:58:27the leaning tower illusion.

00:58:30Number four.

00:58:31How many colors

00:58:32do you see in this image?

00:58:41However many you might see,

00:58:43in reality,

00:58:44there are only three.

00:58:46Number five.

00:58:47The patterns in this picture

00:58:48seem to be moving.

00:58:52But once you focus

00:58:53on one of the ovals,

00:58:54the whole image

00:58:55becomes still.

00:58:57Number six.

00:58:58What do you see

00:58:59in this picture?

00:59:00A moving star?

00:59:07Well,

00:59:08the star part is correct,

00:59:09but in reality,

00:59:10it's a static image.

00:59:12Once again,

00:59:13if you concentrate

00:59:14on any of its parts,

00:59:15the picture will stop.

00:59:17Number six.

00:59:18How many stars

00:59:19do you see

00:59:20in this picture?

00:59:22Well,

00:59:23in reality,

00:59:24there are only three.

00:59:25But once you focus

00:59:26on one of the ovals,

00:59:27the picture will stop moving.

00:59:29Number seven.

00:59:30It seems as if

00:59:31there are three cylinders

00:59:32in this image,

00:59:33and they're all rotating.

00:59:40But you know what to do.

00:59:41Stare at the center

00:59:42of the picture

00:59:43and all the movement

00:59:44will stop.

00:59:46Number eight.

00:59:47Which pencil is longer?

00:59:50They are of the same length.

00:59:53Number nine.

00:59:54Can you find three animals

00:59:55in this picture?

01:00:04Three bunnies are hiding

01:00:05in the tree branches.

01:00:07Number ten.

01:00:08Look at this rotating thingy.

01:00:18There's no doubt

01:00:19that this is a 3D image,

01:00:20but in reality,

01:00:21it's just a set

01:00:22of rotating figures

01:00:23that creates such

01:00:24a three-dimensional effect.

01:00:26Number eleven.

01:00:27Look at the screen

01:00:28and move your head

01:00:29forward and backward

01:00:30while focusing

01:00:31on the center of the image.

01:00:40When you come closer,

01:00:41the lines will seem

01:00:42to rotate counterclockwise.

01:00:44As soon as you start

01:00:45to move away from the image,

01:00:46the lines will rotate

01:00:47clockwise.

01:00:49Number twelve.

01:00:50There is something

01:00:51hidden in this grid.

01:00:52Can you figure out

01:00:53what it is?

01:01:01If you can't spot it,

01:01:02try to shake your head,

01:01:03move further from the screen,

01:01:05or screw up your eyes.

01:01:07And just in case

01:01:08it hasn't helped either,

01:01:09let me make the grid

01:01:10less bright.

01:01:11Here we go.

01:01:12A lovely kitty.

01:01:14Number fourteen.

01:01:15Can you figure out

01:01:16which word is hidden here?

01:01:20That's bedside.

01:01:23Number fifteen.

01:01:24Look at this image

01:01:25and say which string

01:01:26is tied to the banana.

01:01:36I was almost sure

01:01:37it was string number two,

01:01:38but in fact,

01:01:39that's the third one.

01:01:41Number sixteen.

01:01:42Which word is brighter?

01:01:44That's bedside.

01:01:46Number fifteen.

01:01:47Can you figure out

01:01:48which word is brighter?

01:01:57If you remove the grid,

01:01:58it'll become obvious

01:01:59that both words

01:02:00are of the same color.

01:02:02Number seventeen.

01:02:03Each horizontal band

01:02:04seems to be lighter

01:02:05in the middle

01:02:06and darker near the boundaries.

01:02:14But in reality,

01:02:15all of them

01:02:16are of a uniform shade.

01:02:18Number eighteen.

01:02:19Which line is longer?

01:02:20A or B?

01:02:30They're both of the same length.

01:02:32This illusion is created

01:02:33because your mind perceives

01:02:34this image in 3D space.

01:02:36That's why your brain

01:02:37tells you that the line

01:02:38which is closer to you

01:02:39must be shorter

01:02:40than the more distant one.

01:02:42Number nineteen.

01:02:43Are the woman's eyes

01:02:44of the same color?

01:02:48In fact,

01:02:49they are.

01:02:50You can make sure of it

01:02:51by comparing the color

01:02:52of her eyes

01:02:53and the hair accessory.

01:02:55Number twenty.

01:02:56At first sight,

01:02:57it's just a red fan

01:02:58rotating over

01:02:59a bright green background.

01:03:01But try to concentrate

01:03:02on the black dot

01:03:03in the middle.

01:03:04You'll notice that

01:03:05the green under the fan

01:03:06is brighter than that

01:03:07of the surrounding ring.

01:03:09And the fan blades

01:03:10are actually redder

01:03:11than the central disc.

01:03:13Number twenty-one.

01:03:14Which line is darker?

01:03:18These two discs

01:03:19are pulsating,

01:03:20changing between

01:03:21dark and light.

01:03:22But are they doing it

01:03:23at the same time?

01:03:25Keep watching

01:03:26and you'll see that

01:03:27it depends on the background.

01:03:28When it's light,

01:03:29the discs pulsate in sync.

01:03:31But when one part

01:03:32of the background is light

01:03:33and the other is dark,

01:03:34the discs seem to pulse

01:03:35not simultaneously.

01:03:37Number twenty-two.

01:03:38Which word is hidden

01:03:39in this image?

01:03:49That's the word

01:03:50quality.

01:03:52Number twenty-three.

01:03:53Which creature

01:03:54has a longer mouth?

01:03:55Yellow or green?

01:04:04Their mouths

01:04:05are of the same length.

01:04:07Number twenty-four.

01:04:08How about this picture?

01:04:09Which word

01:04:10does it hide?

01:04:18High five

01:04:19if you spotted the word

01:04:20quite.

01:04:21Number twenty-five.

01:04:22That's how a set

01:04:23of simple straight lines

01:04:24can trick your brain.

01:04:32The square made up

01:04:33of vertical lines

01:04:34looks wider and shorter

01:04:35than the one formed

01:04:36of horizontal lines.

01:04:39Number twenty-six.

01:04:40Look at this pyramid

01:04:41made of elongated diamonds.

01:04:43Are these diamonds

01:04:44darker at the top

01:04:45or at the bottom

01:04:46of the pyramid?

01:04:49All diamonds

01:04:50are identical,

01:04:51even though it surely

01:04:52doesn't look like that.

01:04:53But once we start

01:04:54moving around them

01:04:55this way

01:04:56and comparing them

01:04:57with one another,

01:04:58it becomes obvious.

01:05:00Number twenty-seven.

01:05:01Find three animals

01:05:02hidden in this image.

01:05:13Right you are.

01:05:14There are three fossils

01:05:15in this pyramid.

01:05:16Right you are.

01:05:17There are three foxes

01:05:18over there in the tree.

01:05:20Number twenty-eight.

01:05:21Look at the wheel

01:05:22moving behind

01:05:23the red picket fence.

01:05:24Its spokes

01:05:25seem to be bent

01:05:26at the bottom.

01:05:34There's nothing wrong

01:05:35with the wheel

01:05:36and the spokes

01:05:37are perfectly straight.

01:05:38Wanna make sure?

01:05:39Look,

01:05:40the fence is becoming

01:05:41transparent.

01:05:42Here you go.

01:05:43Number twenty-nine.

01:05:44Now,

01:05:45this wheel seems

01:05:46to be rotating clockwise

01:05:47and the spokes

01:05:48are moving

01:05:49counterclockwise.

01:05:50But if you look

01:05:51at one of the spokes

01:05:52attentively,

01:05:53you'll notice

01:05:54it's actually

01:05:55staying in one place.

01:05:56Or rather,

01:05:57it makes a tiny shift

01:05:58forward and then

01:05:59returns to its place.

01:06:00Number thirty.

01:06:01Which word

01:06:02is hidden

01:06:03in this image?

01:06:12It's feather.

01:06:14Number thirty-one.

01:06:15What do you see

01:06:16in this picture?

01:06:25There's no definite

01:06:26answer here.

01:06:27Some people notice

01:06:28footprints,

01:06:29others,

01:06:30five bowling pins.

01:06:31Number thirty-two.

01:06:32How about

01:06:33this picture?

01:06:34Are those

01:06:35three pairs

01:06:36of alternating

01:06:37grooves and ridges?

01:06:38Or maybe you see

01:06:39three shiny oval tubes?

01:06:44The main trick

01:06:45is that

01:06:46the right side

01:06:47of the image

01:06:48looks like

01:06:49a folded surface

01:06:50and the left

01:06:51resembles the tubes.

01:06:52Number thirty-three.

01:06:53Which word

01:06:54do you see here?

01:07:03It's the word

01:07:04change.

01:07:05Number thirty-four.

01:07:06Look at the blue lines.

01:07:07They seem to be

01:07:08moving in pairs.

01:07:09Maybe you see

01:07:10a pair of

01:07:12tubes moving

01:07:13in pairs.

01:07:19And how about now?

01:07:20They suddenly form

01:07:21an outline

01:07:22of a diamond.

01:07:23Number thirty-five.

01:07:24These wooden

01:07:25railroad tracks

01:07:26seem to be

01:07:27different in size.

01:07:35The lower one

01:07:36looks larger

01:07:37than the one

01:07:38at the top.

01:07:39But if we switch them,

01:07:40it becomes obvious

01:07:41that they are identical

01:07:42in size.

01:07:43Number thirty-six.

01:07:44Do these horizontal lines

01:07:45seem parallel to you?

01:07:54And what if I tell you

01:07:55they are?

01:07:56And what you see

01:07:57is just an illusion.

01:07:59Number thirty-seven.

01:08:00Try to figure out

01:08:01which line

01:08:02is longer here.

01:08:11If your answer is

01:08:12Come on,

01:08:13I know they're of

01:08:14the same length.

01:08:15You're absolutely right.

01:08:17Number thirty-eight.

01:08:18Can you see

01:08:19anything unusual

01:08:20in this picture?

01:08:29There's a dalmatian

01:08:30hiding here.

01:08:32Number thirty-nine.

01:08:33There seems to be

01:08:34a bulge in the middle

01:08:35of this checkerboard.

01:08:42But in reality,

01:08:43this checkerboard

01:08:44is regular,

01:08:45and each of its checks

01:08:46is perfectly square.

01:08:47You'll see it

01:08:48once we remove

01:08:49the tiny black

01:08:50and white ticks.

01:08:52Number forty.

01:08:53The blue horizontal stripes

01:08:54in this picture

01:08:55can't be parallel, right?

01:09:04But if we remove

01:09:05all the additional elements,

01:09:06it'll become apparent

01:09:07that the lines

01:09:08are not oblique.

01:09:12Look at the dot

01:09:13in the center

01:09:14for ten seconds.

01:09:25Three,

01:09:26two,

01:09:27one.

01:09:28Now, quickly look

01:09:29at the ceiling

01:09:30and blink a few times.

01:09:31The colored squares

01:09:32have just moved there.

01:09:33What a beautiful pattern

01:09:34of rectangles.

01:09:35Let's take a look

01:09:36at the blue rectangle

01:09:37in the center

01:09:38for ten seconds.

01:09:42But just give it

01:09:43a second look,

01:09:44and you'll see

01:09:45they are, in fact,

01:09:46circles floating

01:09:47against the striped background.

01:09:48Stare at the central dot

01:09:49for ten seconds

01:09:50and see what happens.

01:10:01Wow!

01:10:02The colored circles

01:10:03switch places.

01:10:04In fact,

01:10:05they're both gray now,

01:10:06and your brain

01:10:07makes you see colors

01:10:08that aren't really there.

01:10:09This illusion

01:10:10will make your phone grow.

01:10:11Stare at it.

01:10:12Magic is happening.

01:10:13Keep staring.

01:10:15Now, quickly look

01:10:16at the back of your phone.

01:10:17The logo is moving.

01:10:19How many colors

01:10:20do you see in this image?

01:10:22If you answered three,

01:10:23you're a bit wrong.

01:10:24There are just

01:10:25two colors here,

01:10:26black and white.

01:10:27The grid creates

01:10:28the illusion of gray

01:10:29as they intersect.

01:10:31What about this one?

01:10:33There are just

01:10:34three colors here,

01:10:35red, blue, and yellow.

01:10:36The inner squares

01:10:37only seem different

01:10:38because of the grids

01:10:39and different backgrounds.

01:10:41This grid is broken,

01:10:42but you can fix it right now.

01:10:44Stare at the center of the grid

01:10:45for 15 seconds

01:10:46and see what happens.

01:11:00Told ya!

01:11:01It all looks in order now.

01:11:03This happens because

01:11:04your brain prefers

01:11:05to see regular patterns.

01:11:06It's spread from the center

01:11:07to the edges of the grid.

01:11:09This image is

01:11:10perfectly static.

01:11:11Just stare at one part of it.

01:11:13Yup, it isn't moving anymore.

01:11:15This is one example

01:11:16of peripheral drift illusions.

01:11:18Your brain lags a bit

01:11:19when it's processing areas

01:11:20with different light intensity

01:11:22and makes you think

01:11:23the image is animated.

01:11:25Can you tell

01:11:26if this one is moving

01:11:27or static?

01:11:28I give you 10 seconds

01:11:29to figure it out.

01:11:39Static again.

01:11:40Contrasting colors

01:11:41create the illusion of motion.

01:11:44How many animals

01:11:45do you see here?

01:11:47There are 8 of them

01:11:48hiding between the lines.

01:11:49If you saw 5 or more,

01:11:50you'd have the eye of an eagle.

01:11:53Can you tell

01:11:54which of these 2 yellow lines

01:11:55is longer?

01:11:57It seems obvious

01:11:58the answer is the higher line.

01:11:59In fact,

01:12:00they're absolutely

01:12:01the same length.

01:12:02Your brain gets distracted

01:12:03by other elements

01:12:04of the image,

01:12:05like background lines,

01:12:06and you see the image

01:12:07in a distorted way.

01:12:10What about these 2 lines?

01:12:11Which one is longer?

01:12:14Again,

01:12:15they're the same length.

01:12:16The way circles are set

01:12:17makes the upper line

01:12:18seem longer to you.

01:12:20How many colors

01:12:21are mentioned here?

01:12:28If you got 7,

01:12:29great job!

01:12:30Nothing can distract you.

01:12:32Can you find the mistake here?

01:12:35The number sequence

01:12:36is all right,

01:12:37but you don't need

01:12:38an extra V.

01:12:40Let's go under the seat.

01:12:41Find 3 differences

01:12:42between these images

01:12:43in 10 seconds.

01:12:55Good job!

01:12:59Same task here.

01:13:01Did you spot them all?

01:13:05These images are different

01:13:06in 3 details.

01:13:07Can you name them?

01:13:14Fantastic!

01:13:17Oh,

01:13:18this looks delicious!

01:13:19Again,

01:13:20there are 3 differences

01:13:21between the images.

01:13:23Hope you found them all!

01:13:27These 2 images

01:13:28are different

01:13:29in 5 details.

01:13:30Try to name them

01:13:31in 10 seconds.

01:13:41Well done!

01:13:43Now,

01:13:44let's check

01:13:45the number sequence

01:13:46in 10 seconds.

01:13:52Well done!

01:13:56Can you find

01:13:575 differences

01:13:58between these 2?

01:14:05Well,

01:14:06nothing can hide from you!

01:14:09Help these kittens

01:14:10find 8 hidden objects.

01:14:22Meow!

01:14:23Thank you!

01:14:26This dog is made

01:14:27of many little things.

01:14:28Can you spot 13 of them?

01:14:37Amazing!

01:14:42The fall is a busy time

01:14:43for farmers.

01:14:44Make their life easier

01:14:45and find 20 hidden objects

01:14:46they need.

01:14:53Wow,

01:14:54you could be a detective!

01:14:58Did you find

01:14:5920 objects in this image?

01:15:01Feel free to pause the video

01:15:02if you need more time.

01:15:12Great job!

01:15:17This time,

01:15:18you only have to find

01:15:198 hidden objects.

01:15:22You can find 12 hidden things,

01:15:23but it's trickier

01:15:24because of all those dots.

01:15:35You did it!

01:15:39Moving on,

01:15:40what you see

01:15:41in these optical illusions

01:15:42can tell a lot

01:15:43about your personality.

01:15:45What is this one to you?

01:15:47Those who clearly see

01:15:48the mountains covered with snow

01:15:49mostly have their feet

01:15:50on the ground.

01:15:52You take things

01:15:53the way they are,

01:15:54like to plan everything

01:15:55and move ahead

01:15:56step by step.

01:15:57If you spotted

01:15:58the horses first,

01:15:59you like to be ahead

01:16:00of everyone

01:16:01and live at full speed.

01:16:02You're rather impatient

01:16:03and get bored

01:16:04of tedious work

01:16:05that needs a lot of attention.

01:16:07Now,

01:16:08what catches your eye here?

01:16:10If it's a peaceful

01:16:11creek in the woods,

01:16:12you always see

01:16:13the big picture.

01:16:14You stay calm

01:16:15even when everyone

01:16:16around you is losing it.

01:16:18You always know

01:16:19how to choose

01:16:20the right option

01:16:21quickly.

01:16:22If it's a grumpy

01:16:23face to you,

01:16:24you tend to overthink things

01:16:25and see a catch

01:16:26in every situation

01:16:27and offer.

01:16:28You don't make friends

01:16:29easily,

01:16:30but when you do,

01:16:31it's forever.

01:16:33Time for the next illusion.

01:16:35Those who see

01:16:36a face here,

01:16:37you have a bright mind

01:16:38and you like to keep it busy.

01:16:39You're good

01:16:40at solving tasks

01:16:41of any difficulty

01:16:42and you come up

01:16:43with the best ideas.

01:16:45Those who see

01:16:46a beautiful lady

01:16:47in a dress in this one,

01:16:48you're artists at heart.

01:16:49You take inspiration

01:16:50almost from

01:16:51anything and anywhere.

01:16:52You write,

01:16:53paint,

01:16:54sing,

01:16:55or create music,

01:16:56and it makes you happy.

01:16:57This one's pretty plain,

01:16:58or is it?

01:17:00If you see

01:17:01an owl landing,

01:17:02you're a great team player

01:17:03and easy to work with.

01:17:05You don't mind

01:17:06sharing credit

01:17:07for what you've done

01:17:08with others.

01:17:09Sometimes,

01:17:10you're too afraid

01:17:11to speak up.

01:17:12Remember,

01:17:13your ideas are worth it.

01:17:14If it's a girl

01:17:15looking in the distance

01:17:16to you,

01:17:17you have amazing

01:17:18communication skills.

01:17:19You're comfortable

01:17:20even in front of the crowd

01:17:21and like to share

01:17:22everything about your life

01:17:23on social media.

01:17:25How about this one?

01:17:27If it's a waterfall to you,

01:17:28you love travel

01:17:29and explore new places.

01:17:30You aren't afraid

01:17:31of anything

01:17:32except for boredom.

01:17:34You always say yes

01:17:35to new adventures

01:17:36and places.

01:17:37If you see

01:17:38a young couple here,

01:17:39you're a true romantic.

01:17:40You believe

01:17:41that love always wins.

01:17:42Even when someone's

01:17:43mean to you,

01:17:44you forgive them easily

01:17:45and try to find

01:17:46an explanation

01:17:47for what they did.

01:17:49What are your thoughts

01:17:50on this image?

01:17:51If it's a person

01:17:52standing alone

01:17:53on a rock to you,

01:17:54you're mostly

01:17:55an introvert.

01:17:56You need your alone time

01:17:57to bring your thoughts

01:17:58in order and recharge.

01:17:59You don't have

01:18:00many friends,

01:18:01but you're loyal to them.

01:18:03If it's a face

01:18:04of a girl to you,

01:18:05you often live

01:18:06in the world

01:18:07of your dreams.

01:18:08You always try

01:18:09to improve your life

01:18:10and sometimes forget

01:18:11to see the good

01:18:12in everyday life.

01:18:13Try seizing the day

01:18:14every once in a while.

01:18:16What does this one

01:18:17look like to you?

01:18:18If it's a pattern

01:18:19of trees,

01:18:20you aren't afraid

01:18:21to tell the truth

01:18:22no matter what it is.

01:18:23You have a point

01:18:24on anything,

01:18:25and it's not easy

01:18:26to make you

01:18:27change your mind.

01:18:28Sometimes it's okay

01:18:29to ask others for advice

01:18:30and follow it.

01:18:31If you see a girl

01:18:32with her back to you,

01:18:33you're afraid

01:18:34to hurt the feelings

01:18:35of others.

01:18:36You try to avoid

01:18:37conflict by all means

01:18:38and sometimes agree

01:18:39with others

01:18:40just to make them

01:18:41feel better.

01:18:42What animal

01:18:43do you see first

01:18:44in this curious pattern?

01:18:45If the giraffe

01:18:46is the first animal

01:18:47you saw,

01:18:48you're funny,

01:18:49influential,

01:18:50and charismatic

01:18:51like me.

01:18:52You're spontaneous

01:18:53and always full

01:18:54of energy.

01:18:55That's why you have

01:18:56plenty of friends.

01:18:57You can convince

01:18:58anyone of anything.

01:18:59Use this talent wisely.

01:19:01If you spotted

01:19:02the cat first,

01:19:03you don't like

01:19:04talking a lot

01:19:05and prefer to watch

01:19:06from a distance

01:19:07and analyze what you see.

01:19:08You're independent

01:19:09and self-sufficient,

01:19:10so you make

01:19:11your own rules

01:19:12and follow them.

01:19:13If you saw

01:19:14the duck first,

01:19:15you are a 100%

01:19:16optimist.

01:19:17You enjoy

01:19:18every moment

01:19:19and enjoy

01:19:20looking on the bright

01:19:21side of life.

01:19:22You enjoy

01:19:23exploring new places,

01:19:24learning new skills,

01:19:25and your curiosity

01:19:26has absolutely

01:19:27no limits.

01:19:28If the elephant

01:19:29has caught your eye

01:19:30first,

01:19:31you are loyal

01:19:32and genuine.

01:19:33You care deeply

01:19:34about everything

01:19:35and everyone

01:19:36around you.

01:19:37Your family and friends

01:19:38know they can always

01:19:39ask you for help

01:19:40and you'll solve

01:19:41any problem.

01:19:42In case you noticed

01:19:43the bear first,

01:19:44you're logical

01:19:45and conservative.

01:19:46You have

01:19:47your own values

01:19:48and you like to live

01:19:49by the rules.

01:19:50You're thoughtful

01:19:51and observant

01:19:52and aim for harmony.

01:19:53Those who paid

01:19:54attention to the rabbit,

01:19:55you're full of energy

01:19:56and spread joy

01:19:57like no other person.

01:19:58You've a great

01:19:59sense of humor

01:20:00and rich imagination.

01:20:01You like to share

01:20:02that happiness

01:20:03with others

01:20:04and easily

01:20:05become the soul

01:20:06of any party.

01:20:07In case the lion

01:20:08was the first animal

01:20:09you saw,

01:20:10you're a leader

01:20:11by nature.

01:20:12You like setting goals

01:20:13and achieving them,

01:20:14no matter how

01:20:15hard it gets.

01:20:16People gladly follow you

01:20:17because you're always

01:20:18100% positive

01:20:19of your success.

01:20:20And if you saw

01:20:21an octopus,

01:20:22an optometrist

01:20:23is in your future

01:20:24because there's

01:20:25no octopus there.

01:20:26Time for an eye test.

01:20:27Just joking with you.

01:20:28How many colors

01:20:29do you see here?

01:20:30If your answer

01:20:31is 3,

01:20:32you're not wrong.

01:20:33Do you think

01:20:34it's 17?

01:20:35Could be.

01:20:36Although the image

01:20:37went viral

01:20:38just a few years ago,

01:20:39it's still

01:20:40the most popular

01:20:41color in the world.

01:20:42Although the image

01:20:43went viral

01:20:44just recently,

01:20:45the explanation

01:20:46to this mystery

01:20:47is at least

01:20:48a century and a half old.

01:20:49It was discovered

01:20:50by an Austrian

01:20:51math and physics

01:20:52professor,

01:20:53Mach.

01:20:54He noticed

01:20:55you can easily

01:20:56distinguish

01:20:57between similar colors

01:20:58of slightly contrasting

01:20:59shades when

01:21:00they're close

01:21:01to each other.

01:21:02When you set them apart,

01:21:03the difference

01:21:04is barely noticeable.

01:21:05The professor

01:21:06thought it had

01:21:07something to do

01:21:08with the construction

01:21:09of the eyeball

01:21:10and the tissue

01:21:11it's made of.

01:21:12The band's effect

01:21:13was later named

01:21:14Mach bands

01:21:15in his honor.

01:21:16Years later,

01:21:17when they had

01:21:18better technology,

01:21:19scientists found

01:21:20the professor

01:21:21was basically right.

01:21:22Your retina

01:21:23is similar

01:21:24to a cinema screen.

01:21:25It captures light

01:21:26that's projected

01:21:27through the pupil.

01:21:28Receptors are

01:21:29all over that screen.

01:21:30Some of them

01:21:31are more active

01:21:32under bright light

01:21:33and send a whole

01:21:34lot of signals

01:21:35to the brain.

01:21:36When two cells

01:21:37send similar signals,

01:21:38you might think

01:21:39it's the same shade.

01:21:40Nerves are trying

01:21:41to solve this problem.

01:21:42They send stronger

01:21:43signals to make

01:21:44the difference

01:21:45more obvious

01:21:46at the border

01:21:47of different shades.

01:21:48Your brain

01:21:49then notices

01:21:50a clear boundary.

01:21:51This explains

01:21:52why you can see

01:21:53the difference

01:21:54between similar shades

01:21:55when they're

01:21:56next to each other.

01:21:57The transition

01:21:58between colors

01:21:59can look like

01:22:00a separate color.

01:22:01Some people

01:22:02can't see the difference

01:22:03between contrasting

01:22:04colors in the picture

01:22:05because of how

01:22:06their brains are built.

01:22:07The color rendering

01:22:08abilities,

01:22:09brightness,

01:22:10and contrast

01:22:11of your laptop

01:22:12or smartphone screen

01:22:13is another reason.

01:22:14Then,

01:22:15there's also the amount

01:22:16of lighting

01:22:17in your house

01:22:18or office.

01:22:19Plus,

01:22:20you don't have

01:22:21the same optics

01:22:22in your eyes

01:22:23that screen light

01:22:24as anyone else.

01:22:25You also have

01:22:26a unique level

01:22:27of pigment density

01:22:28that affects

01:22:29how your eyes

01:22:30absorb light.

01:22:31You can even have

01:22:32more than regular

01:22:33three-cone cell types

01:22:34and see more colors

01:22:35than others.

01:22:36And some people

01:22:37are more affected

01:22:38than others.

01:22:39That's why there's

01:22:40no correct answer

01:22:41to how many colors

01:22:42the image contains.

01:22:43Sometimes,

01:22:44uncertainty

01:22:45can make

01:22:46different people

01:22:47see one thing differently.

01:22:48The dress

01:22:49that was somehow

01:22:50gold and white,

01:22:51blue and black,

01:22:52blue and white,

01:22:53and blue and blue

01:22:54at the same time

01:22:55became a real sensation.

01:22:56The picture

01:22:57was taken

01:22:58on a cell phone

01:22:59in a really weird

01:23:00lighting and overexposed.

01:23:01You can't tell

01:23:02if it was taken

01:23:03inside or outside,

01:23:04and that means

01:23:05you don't know

01:23:06if it's artificial

01:23:07or natural light.

01:23:08It's not clear

01:23:09if the light

01:23:10illuminates the dress

01:23:11from the front

01:23:12or the back.

01:23:13If it were backlit,

01:23:14there would have

01:23:15to be a shadow.

01:23:16Parts of the dress

01:23:17itself were in shadow.

01:23:18That shadow

01:23:19was reflecting

01:23:20off the dress itself,

01:23:21complicating things

01:23:22even more.

01:23:23Confused?

01:23:24Me too.

01:23:25When your brain

01:23:26doesn't have

01:23:27enough information,

01:23:28it fills in the gaps

01:23:29by making

01:23:30its own assumptions.

01:23:31It mostly makes them

01:23:32based on what it's

01:23:33previously seen

01:23:34or known.

01:23:35That's why

01:23:36your brain

01:23:37could make

01:23:38one guess

01:23:39about lighting conditions

01:23:40and someone else's

01:23:41a totally different one.

01:23:42People who thought

01:23:43it was in a shadow

01:23:44believed the dress

01:23:45was white and gold.

01:23:46Same with those

01:23:47who thought

01:23:48it was in natural light.

01:23:49Shadows in blue sky

01:23:50over-represent blue light

01:23:51and make things

01:23:52seem yellowish.

01:23:53Oh, and the retailer

01:23:54of the dress

01:23:55officially confirmed

01:23:56it was black and blue,

01:23:57and that it was sold out

01:23:58in the first 30 minutes

01:23:59of business

01:24:00the day after

01:24:01it had gone out.

01:24:02That's why

01:24:03most people

01:24:04believe

01:24:05it was

01:24:06black and blue

01:24:07the day after

01:24:08it had gone viral.

01:24:09A new debate

01:24:10over the color

01:24:11of retro sneakers

01:24:12happened a few years later

01:24:13for the same reason.

01:24:14Are they teal and gray?

01:24:15Or maybe

01:24:16pink and white?

01:24:17You can't be sure

01:24:18with weird

01:24:19camera quality,

01:24:20flash,

01:24:21and funky lighting.

01:24:22When you zoom in

01:24:23on the picture,

01:24:24you can notice

01:24:25the hand is

01:24:26unnaturally bluish.

01:24:27So, depending on

01:24:28how sensitive

01:24:29your eyes are

01:24:30to light

01:24:31and how your brain

01:24:32fills the visual

01:24:33information gaps,

01:24:34the pictures can

01:24:35look different to you.

01:24:36In reality,

01:24:37they turned out

01:24:38to be pink and white.

01:24:40Do these strawberries

01:24:41look red to you?

01:24:42In fact,

01:24:43they're gray

01:24:44and green.

01:24:45The picture has been

01:24:46drained of any red.

01:24:47Your brain still

01:24:48makes you see it

01:24:49because of something

01:24:50known as

01:24:51color constancy.

01:24:52Your brain

01:24:53can sometimes

01:24:54ignore information

01:24:55from the color

01:24:56of the light.

01:24:57It knows

01:24:58what strawberries are,

01:24:59and it also knows

01:25:00they're supposed

01:25:01to be red,

01:25:02so it helps you

01:25:03see them as such.

01:25:04When an astronaut

01:25:05posted a picture

01:25:06of some sand dunes,

01:25:07the Internet

01:25:08thought they were

01:25:09pits,

01:25:10not hills.

01:25:11Only when they

01:25:12flipped the pic over,

01:25:13people could see

01:25:14dunes in the

01:25:15indefinite pattern.

01:25:16Turns out

01:25:17your brain

01:25:18thought the sun

01:25:19was in the

01:25:201 o'clock position.

01:25:21It means it's supposed

01:25:22to be casting shadows

01:25:23from the upper right.

01:25:24In reality,

01:25:25it was casting shadows

01:25:26from the upper left.

01:25:27So, turning it

01:25:28upside down

01:25:29makes things

01:25:30more usual

01:25:31to your brain.

01:25:32How many black spots

01:25:33can you see

01:25:34in this image?

01:25:35There are 12 of them,

01:25:36but most people

01:25:37can't see them

01:25:38all at once.

01:25:39All the dots

01:25:40are perfectly visible,

01:25:41but you can see

01:25:42each of them only

01:25:43when you look

01:25:44directly at it.

01:25:45Your peripheral vision

01:25:46isn't that perfect.

01:25:47Your brain

01:25:48has to fill in

01:25:49the blanks.

01:25:50The white

01:25:51between gray lines

01:25:52makes it think

01:25:53the dots are lighter

01:25:54than they are,

01:25:55so it decides

01:25:56to pretend

01:25:57there's just grayer

01:25:58and the dots

01:25:59aren't there.

01:26:00Although one of them

01:26:01looks twice the size

01:26:02of the other,

01:26:03these guys

01:26:04are of the same size.

01:26:06They're placed

01:26:07in an Ames room,

01:26:08invented by

01:26:09an American ophthalmologist

01:26:10in the 1940s.

01:26:12You'd have to look

01:26:13into a pinhole

01:26:14at a room

01:26:15that seems to be

01:26:16a regular square

01:26:17but is a trapezoid.

01:26:18The walls

01:26:19and ceilings

01:26:20are tilted,

01:26:21and this makes your eyes

01:26:22see one person

01:26:23tower over another

01:26:24even when they move around.

01:26:25If you have

01:26:26a toy train track

01:26:27at home,

01:26:28you can see

01:26:29how the next illusion

01:26:30works in reality.

01:26:31You take

01:26:32two segments

01:26:33of the same size

01:26:34and put them

01:26:35next to each other.

01:26:36One of them

01:26:37looks obviously larger

01:26:38than the other one.

01:26:39That's because

01:26:40your brain

01:26:41compares the two sides

01:26:42of the pieces

01:26:43that are next to each other.

01:26:44It compares

01:26:45the right side

01:26:46of the track

01:26:47that's on the left

01:26:48to the left side

01:26:49of the track

01:26:50that's on the right.

01:26:51When you compare

01:26:52squares A and B

01:26:53in the checker

01:26:54shadow illusion,

01:26:55you can tell

01:26:56square A

01:26:57is much darker

01:26:58than square B.

01:26:59Your brain

01:27:00expects the cylinder

01:27:01to throw a shadow

01:27:02on the board.

01:27:03It compensates

01:27:04for the alternating colors

01:27:05it expected to find.

01:27:07If you still

01:27:08don't believe

01:27:09the squares are

01:27:10of the same color,

01:27:11you can compare them

01:27:12with a color selector

01:27:13in any photo editing program.

01:27:15In the Ebbinghaus illusion,

01:27:17the two circles

01:27:18in the middle

01:27:19of their circle sets

01:27:20are of the same size.

01:27:21Turns out

01:27:22the way you perceive

01:27:23the size of things

01:27:24is all about context.

01:27:26The circle

01:27:27surrounded by larger ones

01:27:28seems smaller.

01:27:29And the one

01:27:30in the company

01:27:31of smaller circles

01:27:32seems to be a giant.

01:27:34There are 12 dots here.

01:27:36All of them are lilac.

01:27:37Your task

01:27:38is to stare

01:27:39at the cross

01:27:40in the middle

01:27:41of the dot ring.

01:27:42As one lilac dot

01:27:43disappears for a moment,

01:27:44a green dot

01:27:45takes its place.

01:27:47It also gradually

01:27:48wipes away

01:27:49other lilac dots

01:27:50one by one

01:27:51as it moves

01:27:52around the circle.

01:27:53This is the

01:27:54after-image effect

01:27:55in action.

01:27:56The rods and cones

01:27:57adjust to the

01:27:58constant disappearance

01:27:59of lilac dots.

01:28:00They replace it

01:28:01with a color

01:28:02from the opposite

01:28:03end of the spectrum,

01:28:04which is green.

01:28:06Seeing motion

01:28:07in a still image

01:28:08is one of the most

01:28:09common types

01:28:10of optical illusions.

01:28:11To create one,

01:28:12you have to build

01:28:13a pattern of

01:28:14high-contrast colors.

01:28:15They activate

01:28:16neural signals

01:28:17at the same time.

01:28:18This is how

01:28:19the fake motion

01:28:20effect appears.

01:28:22Café wall illusion

01:28:23was first described

01:28:24in the late 19th century.

01:28:26The tile pattern

01:28:27of a café wall

01:28:28had straight parallel lines

01:28:30and grout in between them.

01:28:32It seemed the black

01:28:33and white lines

01:28:34sloped diagonally.

01:28:35That's because

01:28:36different types of neurons

01:28:37in your brain

01:28:38react to dark

01:28:39and light colors.

01:28:41Some parts of the grout lines

01:28:42seem brighter than others.

01:28:44Where there's contrast,

01:28:45there appears to be

01:28:46asymmetry.

01:28:51You'll have 10 seconds

01:28:52for each of the

01:28:53optical illusions.

01:28:54Your task will be

01:28:55to read the hidden number.

01:28:56You'll go from

01:28:57the easiest

01:28:58to the hardest riddles.

01:29:00Start off with an easy one

01:29:01for warm-up.

01:29:14Told you,

01:29:15it's 784.

01:29:17Moving on.

01:29:26I hope you were able

01:29:27to see the number

01:29:285346 here.

01:29:30Level up.

01:29:32How about this one?

01:29:45The correct answer

01:29:46is 725.

01:29:48And another one.

01:29:56Yes,

01:29:57it's 786.

01:30:00Now, only 5% of people

01:30:01can read the next

01:30:02three numbers.

01:30:03Want to give it a go?

01:30:16If your answer is 6012,

01:30:18it's correct.

01:30:20But,

01:30:21there's one more

01:30:22hidden number.

01:30:24It's correct.

01:30:25And here's another

01:30:26tricky one.

01:30:41It's 182.

01:30:42And if you saw it,

01:30:43you must have eagle vision.

01:30:46Told you it won't be easy,

01:30:47but try this one.

01:30:55The correct answer

01:30:56is 3708.

01:30:59Let's see how you handle

01:31:00some black-and-white illusions.

01:31:14And the first one

01:31:15is hiding the number

01:31:16476.

01:31:18There you go.

01:31:19If that was too simple,

01:31:20try this one.

01:31:24If that was too simple,

01:31:25how about this one?

01:31:37I hope you guessed

01:31:38it was 86347.

01:31:42And now,

01:31:43let's test your eyes

01:31:44with some hidden words.

01:31:45You still have 10 seconds

01:31:46for each of them.

01:31:55I'm sure you figured out

01:31:56it's the word never.

01:31:59Can you read

01:32:00what this picture says?

01:32:13I can't sleep.

01:32:14How sad.

01:32:17This one is hiding

01:32:18the name of some month.

01:32:19You have to think

01:32:20outside the box

01:32:21to read it.

01:32:22Feel free to pause

01:32:23the video if you need

01:32:24more time.

01:32:30Well,

01:32:31the secret was

01:32:32to split it in half.

01:32:33Then you can see

01:32:34it's July.

01:32:36How about this one?

01:32:48It's the word run

01:32:49hiding in the back.

01:32:51Another one for you.

01:32:53How about this one?

01:33:07Hope you found the gold.

01:33:10Here comes a tricky one.

01:33:13It takes some brain power

01:33:14to see it's brain.

01:33:17Another one in this category.

01:33:19It's only getting

01:33:20more complicated.

01:33:33If you read the word

01:33:34music between

01:33:35the letters

01:33:36of the alphabet

01:33:37and the number

01:33:38of letters

01:33:39in the alphabet,

01:33:40if you read the word

01:33:41music between the lines,

01:33:42you must be a genius.

01:33:45Now let's see

01:33:46if you can decipher

01:33:47these secret messages.

01:33:48I give you 10 seconds

01:33:49for this one.

01:33:58Well,

01:33:59if someone says

01:34:00it's just a bunch of letters

01:34:01without meaning,

01:34:02you can easily

01:34:03prove them wrong.

01:34:05What do you see here?

01:34:11The power of imagination

01:34:12makes us infinite.

01:34:14Couldn't agree more.

01:34:16Here's another one.

01:34:32I hope you always desire

01:34:33to learn something useful.

01:34:36And I hope you

01:34:37learn something useful

01:34:38too.

01:34:41You deserve some dessert

01:34:42for all that mental activity.

01:34:44Here's just one cupcake

01:34:45among all those

01:34:46ice cream cones.

01:34:47Try to find it.

01:34:58There it is.

01:34:59Yum!

01:35:01Get a tomato to go.

01:35:03I can only see

01:35:04a bunch of apples.

01:35:05But maybe you'll

01:35:06be luckier here.

01:35:11Found it!

01:35:13There's a butterfly

01:35:14hiding somewhere

01:35:15among those flowers.

01:35:16Do you see it?

01:35:27Fantastic!

01:35:28It's right there.

01:35:31Can you find

01:35:32the one and only

01:35:33pineapple in this image?

01:35:37There it is.

01:35:38Found it!

01:35:50Great job!

01:35:52One of these

01:35:53colorful leaves

01:35:54is in fact a mushroom.

01:35:55Can you spot it?

01:36:09Well done!

01:36:11How about a safari

01:36:12to give your eyes

01:36:13another test?

01:36:14Do you see anyone

01:36:15hiding in these leaves?

01:36:29Yep.

01:36:30It's a chameleon.

01:36:31And those guys

01:36:32know how to blend

01:36:33with the surroundings.

01:36:34There must be

01:36:35a groundhog

01:36:36hiding somewhere

01:36:37among those flowers.

01:36:38Find it in 10 seconds.

01:36:52Wow!

01:36:53That was neat!

01:36:55One coyote

01:36:56won't do you much harm.

01:36:57But if it brings

01:36:58some friends,

01:36:59better make sure

01:37:00this area is coyote-free.

01:37:08Start looking

01:37:09for a different picnic spot.

01:37:10One of those guys

01:37:11is right here.

01:37:14Watch where you step.

01:37:15I hear there are

01:37:16snakes on the ground.

01:37:30Found one.

01:37:31Better be careful.

01:37:37I don't see anyone

01:37:38roaming in this territory.

01:37:39Let's see if you have

01:37:40sharper eyes.

01:37:51What a beautiful gazelle!

01:37:53Did you manage to find it?

01:37:56The next illusion

01:37:57was created back in 1860.

01:37:59It shows how your brain

01:38:00perceives depth and shapes.

01:38:03So, do you think

01:38:04the black line

01:38:05lines up with the blue one?

01:38:08If you answered yes,

01:38:09you're wrong.

01:38:10In fact,

01:38:11the black line

01:38:12stems from the red line.

01:38:14Now,

01:38:15take a look at these illusions

01:38:16and remember

01:38:17what you see first.

01:38:18It can tell a lot

01:38:19about your personality.

01:38:38If it looks like

01:38:39a mountain to you,

01:38:40you're a down-to-earth person.

01:38:41You're persistent,

01:38:42reliable,

01:38:43and like to plan things.

01:38:45Overcoming obstacles

01:38:46makes you feel really happy.

01:38:48You appreciate stability

01:38:49and don't like to take risks.

01:38:51If you saw

01:38:52the upside-down wolf first,

01:38:53you're a natural leader.

01:38:55You keep your emotions

01:38:56under control

01:38:57even in the most

01:38:58stressful situations.

01:38:59Others admire

01:39:00and respect you for that.

01:39:01Remember,

01:39:02it's okay to ask

01:39:03for help sometimes

01:39:04if you need it.

01:39:05How about this one?

01:39:19If lips caught your eye first,

01:39:20you're realistic

01:39:21and always take things

01:39:22the way they are.

01:39:24You don't look for

01:39:25hidden meaning

01:39:26in what happens to you

01:39:27and what others say to you.

01:39:28It helps you get along

01:39:29with people well.

01:39:31If you noticed

01:39:32the sign of the wolf,

01:39:33it's a sign of

01:39:34the wolf.

01:39:35If you noticed

01:39:36the trees first,

01:39:37you're an ambitious person

01:39:38and a perfectionist

01:39:39to the core.

01:39:40You're never happy

01:39:41with just OK

01:39:42and will always strive

01:39:43to be number one

01:39:44and make yourself

01:39:45and others happy.

01:39:47In the case

01:39:48the first thing you saw

01:39:49was the roots,

01:39:50you're an extremely

01:39:51progressive person.

01:39:53You love trying

01:39:54all the new technology

01:39:55and styles.

01:39:56You never settle

01:39:57and always try

01:39:58to make your life better

01:39:59and more exciting.

01:40:01Here comes the next one.

01:40:04If it looks like

01:40:05a parrot to you,

01:40:06you're the soul

01:40:07of any party.

01:40:08You like to be

01:40:09the center of attention,

01:40:10wear something bright,

01:40:11talk loudly

01:40:12and laugh your heart out.

01:40:13You have plenty

01:40:14of friends

01:40:15who love that about you.

01:40:17If you see a girl

01:40:18in a beautiful long dress,

01:40:19you must be

01:40:20the mysterious artsy type.

01:40:21You prefer to observe

01:40:22others being active

01:40:23and have fun.

01:40:25If you see a girl

01:40:26in a beautiful long dress,

01:40:27you must be

01:40:28the mysterious artsy type.

01:40:29You prefer to observe

01:40:30others being active

01:40:31and have fun.

01:40:33others being active

01:40:34and loud

01:40:35and get inspiration

01:40:36for your work.

01:40:37You notice little details

01:40:38and remember them

01:40:39to later put them

01:40:40on your canvas or paper.

01:40:43You have 10 seconds

01:40:44to decide what you see

01:40:45in this illusion here.

01:40:59If it's clearly

01:41:00an image of an elephant

01:41:01and a giraffe,

01:41:02you're a reliable

01:41:03and hardworking person.

01:41:05You feel responsible

01:41:06for yourself and your work

01:41:07and don't like

01:41:08to let others down.

01:41:09People appreciate you

01:41:10for that

01:41:11and share their secrets

01:41:12with you.

01:41:14If you saw some rabbits

01:41:15between the trees,

01:41:16you're not as simple

01:41:17as you might seem.

01:41:18You always think

01:41:19before you say

01:41:20or do something.

01:41:21You have a strategy

01:41:22for every life situation.

01:41:23It's important to you

01:41:24to be accepted

01:41:25and loved by others,

01:41:26so you do a lot

01:41:27to please them.

01:41:29New illusion,

01:41:30same task.

01:41:43If you see

01:41:44just two horses

01:41:45crossing a waterfall,

01:41:46you're an adventurous person.

01:41:48When someone offers

01:41:49trying something new

01:41:50or going to a new place,

01:41:51you're always up for it.

01:41:53You realize you might

01:41:54not like it in the end,

01:41:55but you'd rather try it

01:41:56and be sad

01:41:57than regret not going.

01:42:00In case you noticed

01:42:01several faces first,

01:42:02you always see

01:42:03the big picture

01:42:04and can find

01:42:05the right decision quickly.

01:42:06You know what you want

01:42:07and how to get there

01:42:08and never reconsider

01:42:09your own choices.

01:42:11These qualities

01:42:12will take you far

01:42:13in your career.

01:42:14Moving on.

01:42:15What a beautiful landscape,

01:42:16but is it hiding something?

01:42:28If all you see here

01:42:29is some sea and rocks,

01:42:30you're a calm

01:42:31and balanced person.

01:42:33Sometimes you're

01:42:34in a bad mood,

01:42:35but you always look

01:42:36on the bright side of life

01:42:37and move on.

01:42:38If you also noticed

01:42:39some animals

01:42:40drawn on the rocks,

01:42:41you have a great

01:42:42eye for detail.

01:42:43You always listen

01:42:44to both parties

01:42:45in a conflict

01:42:46before taking sides.

01:42:48You like doing research

01:42:49and drawing

01:42:50logical conclusions.

01:42:52Alright,

01:42:53what does this one

01:42:54say to you?

01:42:57What does this one say

01:42:58to you?

01:43:08In case you're positive

01:43:09it's a portrait

01:43:10of a young girl,

01:43:11you're an extrovert

01:43:12and can't survive

01:43:13a day without people.

01:43:14You're active

01:43:15on social media

01:43:16and enjoy going

01:43:17to social events

01:43:18where you can make

01:43:19even more friends.

01:43:20If you see some horses

01:43:21and birds,

01:43:22you're more of an introvert.

01:43:23You love being

01:43:24alone outside.

01:43:25You have some

01:43:26but you appreciate

01:43:27your personal space.

01:43:29Those who see the face

01:43:30and the horses at once,

01:43:31you've got the best

01:43:32of both worlds.

01:43:33You feel comfortable

01:43:34at a party

01:43:35with a few hundred

01:43:36new people around

01:43:37and alone reading a book.

01:43:39What can you say

01:43:40about this illusion?

01:43:53Those who see

01:43:54a face of a woman,

01:43:55you're realistic

01:43:56and pretty content

01:43:57with your life.

01:43:58You don't expect

01:43:59too much from others

01:44:00and are ready

01:44:01to stand your ground

01:44:02if you have to.

01:44:03If you see

01:44:04a saxophone player,

01:44:05you often prefer

01:44:06your imaginary world

01:44:07to the real one.

01:44:08In your dreams,

01:44:09you have turned

01:44:10your favorite hobby

01:44:11into a career.

01:44:12Try doing that

01:44:13in real life.

01:44:14What are your thoughts

01:44:15on this one?

01:44:26If it's clearly

01:44:27an older man to you,

01:44:28you've always been wiser

01:44:29and more reasonable

01:44:30than others your age.

01:44:31That's why people

01:44:32often ask you for advice

01:44:33and you enjoy

01:44:34helping them out.

01:44:36If you see

01:44:37a young girl

01:44:38and an older man

01:44:39in the arch,

01:44:40you'll always be

01:44:41a child at heart.

01:44:42Your family

01:44:43means the world to you

01:44:44and you always ask them

01:44:45for advice

01:44:46and protection.

01:44:55Right now,

01:44:56you're going to test

01:44:57your observation skills.

01:44:58This test has four levels

01:45:00and each one's trickier

01:45:01than the last.

01:45:02Find a pen

01:45:03and a piece of paper

01:45:04to write down your score.

01:45:05For each correct answer,

01:45:07you'll get some points.

01:45:081 if it's the first level,

01:45:102 if it's the second one,

01:45:123 for the third,

01:45:14and 4 for the last one.

01:45:16The results will be

01:45:17at the end of the video.

01:45:23So,

01:45:24how many legs can you see

01:45:25in this picture?

01:45:27Right.

01:45:28There are 12 legs,

01:45:296 wearing dress shoes,

01:45:31and 6 with high heels.

01:45:332.

01:45:34There's an animal

01:45:35in this picture

01:45:36that's trying really hard

01:45:37to blend in.

01:45:38Can you spot it?

01:45:41Aha!

01:45:42It's this piglet,

01:45:43but its nose

01:45:44gives it away.

01:45:463.

01:45:47Can you find

01:45:48three animals

01:45:49hidden in this picture?

01:45:51Right.

01:45:52Three ducks are hiding

01:45:53among the tree branches.

01:45:554.

01:45:56What's wrong

01:45:57with this image?

01:45:59Two moons?

01:46:00Really?

01:46:025.

01:46:03Can you spot anything

01:46:04strange in this picture?

01:46:07A snake is pretending

01:46:08to be a giraffe here.

01:46:116.

01:46:12Just another regular day

01:46:14at the supermarket.

01:46:15Or is it?

01:46:18It would be

01:46:19if the lady on the left

01:46:20wasn't wearing skis.

01:46:237.

01:46:24How about this image?

01:46:25Is everything correct here?

01:46:28Not really.

01:46:29There's something wrong

01:46:30with the exit sign.

01:46:338.

01:46:34Why is this laundry trip

01:46:35going to end badly?

01:46:37Because who on earth

01:46:38washes white shirts

01:46:39together with red socks?

01:46:41Not me.

01:46:449.

01:46:45This picture looks weird,

01:46:46but why?

01:46:49The mouse is chasing the cat,

01:46:50not the other way around.

01:46:5410.

01:46:55Can you spot

01:46:56the odd image?

01:46:58Yep,

01:46:59it's the sprinkled donut

01:47:00in the corner.

01:47:02Well,

01:47:03that was easy.

01:47:04Okay,

01:47:05I'm up for some challenges now.

01:47:07Level 2.

01:47:1011.

01:47:11Which kitty

01:47:12is different from the rest?

01:47:15This one seems to be

01:47:16more pleased with life

01:47:17than the others.

01:47:2012.

01:47:21There are four mistakes

01:47:22in this picture.

01:47:23Try to find

01:47:24all of them.

01:47:26Well,

01:47:27let's see.

01:47:28A globe under the sink,

01:47:29a pair of shoes

01:47:30in the cupboard,

01:47:31a shirt instead

01:47:32of the curtains,

01:47:33and a table lamp

01:47:34instead of the faucet.

01:47:36This woman's life

01:47:37must be full of adventures.

01:47:3913.

01:47:40Can you see

01:47:41two different things

01:47:42in this image?

01:47:44It can be a girl

01:47:45or someone's face.

01:47:4814.

01:47:49Do you see a deer?

01:47:52A real master

01:47:53of camouflage.

01:47:5615.

01:47:57Can you find

01:47:58three animals here?

01:48:01I've only got

01:48:02one question.

01:48:03What are rabbits

01:48:04doing up there?

01:48:0616.

01:48:08There are three things

01:48:09wrong in this picture.

01:48:11Can you spot them all?

01:48:13There's no red light

01:48:14and no rails

01:48:15for the tram.

01:48:16And December 32nd?

01:48:18Seriously?

01:48:20You really want

01:48:21to last that much longer?

01:48:2317.

01:48:24Which girl looks different?

01:48:27The one in the right

01:48:28bottom corner

01:48:29because it's a boy.

01:48:3218.

01:48:33Which magician

01:48:34is different from the rest?

01:48:37Yeah,

01:48:38he probably decided

01:48:39to stand out from the crowd

01:48:40by wearing a different cloak.

01:48:4319.

01:48:44Something is missing

01:48:45in this picture.

01:48:46But what exactly?

01:48:49The sun is bright

01:48:50but then

01:48:51where are the camel's shadows?

01:48:5420.

01:48:55Which emoji

01:48:56is different?

01:48:59Yep,

01:49:00the non-winking one.

01:49:03Okay,

01:49:04not so bad.

01:49:05What's next?

01:49:06Surprise me!

01:49:08Level 3.

01:49:1021.

01:49:11How many cubes

01:49:12are there in this picture?

01:49:15There are nine cubes.

01:49:1722.

01:49:18Can you spot

01:49:19the odd one?

01:49:21Yeah,

01:49:22it looks a bit shorter

01:49:23than the rest.

01:49:2523.

01:49:27Can you figure out

01:49:28which string is tied

01:49:29to the banana?

01:49:32I'd bet on the first one

01:49:33but it's actually

01:49:34number three.

01:49:3724.

01:49:38How many animals

01:49:39can you see in this picture?

01:49:42There are three foxes.

01:49:4525.

01:49:46Something's wrong

01:49:47with this picture.

01:49:48But what?

01:49:51The pitcher is empty.

01:49:52Where's the milk

01:49:53coming from?

01:49:5626.

01:49:57Can you read

01:49:58what's written here?

01:50:01It's a mystery.

01:50:02Um,

01:50:03no, no,

01:50:04you don't get it.

01:50:05The word

01:50:06is mystery.

01:50:0827.

01:50:09Which unicorn

01:50:10is different?

01:50:13This one.

01:50:14Because it's a horse

01:50:15not a unicorn.

01:50:1828.

01:50:19What's wrong

01:50:20in this picture?

01:50:22The fish doesn't have fins.

01:50:2529.

01:50:26What's hidden here?

01:50:28A tiny hint.

01:50:29It's alive.

01:50:31Right.

01:50:32It's a giant panda.

01:50:3530.

01:50:36What can you see

01:50:37in this image?

01:50:39It's either a face

01:50:40or a penguin.

01:50:42Wow.

01:50:43To tell you the truth,

01:50:44that level made me sweat.

01:50:47Level 4.

01:50:4931.

01:50:50Can you find a snake

01:50:51in this picture?

01:50:53Duh.

01:50:54Looks like a tree root to me.

01:50:5732.

01:50:58What can you see

01:50:59in this image?

01:51:02There are two trees

01:51:03and a woman's head.

01:51:0633.

01:51:07Can you find

01:51:08the farmer's wife?

01:51:09Here's a hint.

01:51:10She's somewhere nearby.

01:51:13Who would have guessed

01:51:14you could turn the image

01:51:15upside down?

01:51:1834.

01:51:19The children are sure

01:51:20the astronomer's still

01:51:21in the room.

01:51:22But where can he be hiding?

01:51:25He really didn't

01:51:26want to be found.

01:51:2935.

01:51:30These geese

01:51:31are in danger.

01:51:32A predator's hiding

01:51:33somewhere in the picture.

01:51:36Wow.

01:51:37Almost missed it.

01:51:38How spooky.

01:51:4136.

01:51:42What's hidden

01:51:43in this picture?

01:51:45It's a big

01:51:46toothy

01:51:47scary

01:51:48shark.

01:51:5037.

01:51:51How many things

01:51:52can you see

01:51:53in this picture?

01:51:55It can be a beggar

01:51:56or it can be a face,

01:51:58depending on your perspective.

01:52:0138.

01:52:02This image is quite obvious.

01:52:04Or is it?

01:52:07Try turning it upside down.

01:52:09Then the rabbit

01:52:10will turn into a man

01:52:11with a long mustache.

01:52:1439.

01:52:15And what can you see

01:52:16in this picture?

01:52:19It might be a happy dog

01:52:21or an equally cheerful cat.

01:52:2440.

01:52:25And finally,

01:52:26can you read this?

01:52:29You don't say.

01:52:30Bad eyes?

01:52:32OK.

01:52:33This level was actually

01:52:34mind-boggling.

01:52:36But I'm looking forward

01:52:37to learning my results.

01:52:39If your score

01:52:40is 0 to 25 points,

01:52:42work more on your

01:52:43observation skills

01:52:44and you'll get better.

01:52:46If you've got

01:52:4726 to 50 points,

01:52:48you have a quick eye.

01:52:50With more practice,

01:52:51you'll soon become a pro.

01:52:54If you have

01:52:5551 to 75 points,

01:52:56you're as attentive

01:52:57as Sherlock.

01:52:59You can spot

01:53:00the tiniest details

01:53:01without much effort.

01:53:03But if you've got

01:53:0476 to 100 points,

01:53:05wow!

01:53:07I can't but feel

01:53:08a bit intimidated.

01:53:10Nothing can escape

01:53:11your eagle eye.

01:53:12It's better not

01:53:13to think you.

01:53:15Hey,

01:53:16how about we create

01:53:17your psychological portrait

01:53:19using optical illusions?

01:53:21You game?

01:53:22The rules are simple.

01:53:23Just remember

01:53:24the first thing

01:53:25you saw in the picture.

01:53:27Now,

01:53:28if you see a horse

01:53:29in this picture,

01:53:30you're a very valuable friend.

01:53:32You have excellent

01:53:33communication skills,

01:53:34and you're very confident

01:53:35and reliable.

01:53:37But if the first thing

01:53:38you saw here

01:53:39is the horse's head,

01:53:40it may mean

01:53:41you're critical of everything

01:53:42and the opinion of others

01:53:43can't throw you

01:53:44off the path.

01:53:46The next illusion.

01:53:48Those who saw a crocodile here

01:53:49love a quiet life

01:53:51and don't like to open up

01:53:52to something new.

01:53:54But if you saw a boat,

01:53:55you're more creative

01:53:56than other people

01:53:57and pay attention

01:53:58to small details.

01:54:00Those who see

01:54:01a young woman here

01:54:02have an analytical mind

01:54:04and use their left brain more.

01:54:06If you see an old man,

01:54:08you're likely to be

01:54:09a very gentle

01:54:10and sensitive person

01:54:11who can be

01:54:12very empathetic

01:54:13to other people.

01:54:14You're more creative

01:54:15and you use

01:54:16the right side

01:54:17of your brain.

01:54:19The white pillars

01:54:20in the picture mean

01:54:21you like comfort

01:54:22and safety.

01:54:23But you should leave

01:54:24the comfort zone

01:54:25to gain more experience

01:54:26and achieve something new.

01:54:28But if the first thing

01:54:29you see

01:54:30is the silhouettes

01:54:31of two men,

01:54:32then you're the kind

01:54:33of person

01:54:34who doesn't sit in place

01:54:35and is ready

01:54:36to move constantly.

01:54:38Are these flowers

01:54:39or a woman's face?

01:54:41If it's flowers for you,

01:54:43then you appreciate

01:54:44the world you live in

01:54:45and just love nature.

01:54:47And if the first thing

01:54:48to draw your eye

01:54:49was a woman's face,

01:54:51then you have

01:54:52a great ability

01:54:53to highlight details

01:54:54from the environment

01:54:55that will help you

01:54:56to make the right decision.

01:54:58If an orange explosion

01:54:59is painted for you here,

01:55:01you have incredible

01:55:02leadership qualities.

01:55:04But if the first thing

01:55:05you see in this picture

01:55:06is black fingers,

01:55:08then you're a very

01:55:09compassionate,

01:55:10generous,

01:55:11and kind person.

01:55:13Hey, did you see

01:55:14two faces here?

01:55:16You're an extrovert,

01:55:17you're social,

01:55:18and you're constantly

01:55:19thinking about other people.

01:55:21But you also get

01:55:22influenced easily,

01:55:23so try to surround

01:55:24yourself only

01:55:25with good people.

01:55:27But if you see

01:55:28a candlestick here,

01:55:29you're the exact opposite.

01:55:31You think more about

01:55:32yourself than about

01:55:33other people,

01:55:34and you like to sit

01:55:35at home rather than

01:55:36having noisy parties

01:55:37with a bunch of people.

01:55:38Ooh, this one is scary.

01:55:40If you see a skull here,

01:55:42it means it's hard

01:55:43for you to make decisions

01:55:44and move forward.

01:55:46But you need to

01:55:47find the courage

01:55:48and overcome

01:55:49the circumstances.

01:55:50It's the only way

01:55:51for you to become stronger.

01:55:53And if you see a woman,

01:55:54you're probably feeling

01:55:55like a squeezed lemon,

01:55:57both emotionally

01:55:58and physically.

01:55:59Perhaps you have just

01:56:00ended a difficult

01:56:01period in your life.

01:56:03In any case,

01:56:04stay on the bright side!

01:56:06Now, if you see

01:56:07trees here,

01:56:08you must be

01:56:09an ambitious person

01:56:10who loves to bring

01:56:11everything to perfection.

01:56:13If you saw the roots

01:56:14at the first moment,

01:56:15it means you're

01:56:16a progressive person

01:56:17who strives for improvement.

01:56:19If the whole picture

01:56:20looked like dark lips

01:56:21to you,

01:56:22then you're a person

01:56:23who doesn't like

01:56:24to go deep into something

01:56:25and study too much.

01:56:27Hey, where are

01:56:28those chocolate lips?

01:56:29Now, what do we have here?

01:56:31Is it a river

01:56:32and a cliff?

01:56:33Then you're an optimist

01:56:34who adapts easily

01:56:35to the changes in life.

01:56:37But if the first thing

01:56:38you see is a white cat,

01:56:40then you like stability,

01:56:42and you're in an emotional

01:56:44and mental balance.

01:56:46And you're a cat lover,

01:56:47of course.

01:56:48And if you see a face here,

01:56:49then you're a very

01:56:50creative person.

01:56:52You see a new opportunity

01:56:53in every detail of the world,

01:56:55and you're very curious.

01:56:59Whoa, is this an explosion?

01:57:01Then you're easily scared.

01:57:03You often feel fear

01:57:04of something new

01:57:05and unknown.

01:57:06You may even be in

01:57:07conflict with yourself.

01:57:09But if you see

01:57:10a passionate kiss

01:57:11in the smoke,

01:57:12then you value relationships

01:57:14and family the most in life.

01:57:17This is the highest

01:57:18priority for you.

01:57:20Ooh, cute bears!

01:57:22If you saw them first,

01:57:23then you can easily

01:57:24solve problems.

01:57:25You see a picture

01:57:26from far away,

01:57:27notice all the details,

01:57:28and can find

01:57:29the best solution.

01:57:31But if for you,

01:57:32this picture is a

01:57:33mountain landscape,

01:57:34then you are a more

01:57:35intuitive person.

01:57:37You're guided by your

01:57:38sixth sense

01:57:39when decision-making.

01:57:41Are you a realist?

01:57:43If you saw a big

01:57:44blue cat here,

01:57:45then yes,

01:57:46you don't have much fantasy,

01:57:48but you see the world

01:57:49as it is,

01:57:50and it helps you make

01:57:51plans on how to conquer it.

01:57:53If a little mouse

01:57:54hits your eyes first,

01:57:56you can see the positive

01:57:57even in the worst-case scenario.

01:58:00For you,

01:58:01the glass is always

01:58:02half-full.

01:58:03The next illusion.

01:58:05If you see a girl

01:58:06at the window,

01:58:07then be careful.

01:58:08This may suggest

01:58:09that you expect something

01:58:10unpleasant to happen,

01:58:12and you're also

01:58:13probably an impulsive person.

01:58:15If you see a skull here,

01:58:17then you're pessimistic.

01:58:19Your friends may call you

01:58:20a cynic,

01:58:21but you consider yourself

01:58:22a realist.

01:58:24Creativity against analytics?

01:58:26What do you see?

01:58:28If the red saxophonist

01:58:29is the first thing you see,

01:58:31then you are a person

01:58:32who likes to systematize

01:58:34and analyze information.

01:58:36You must be good at math

01:58:37and foreign languages.

01:58:39And if you see a portrait

01:58:40of a woman here,

01:58:42then you're an emotional

01:58:43and creative person.

01:58:45Is it a bird?

01:58:47Then you're a daydreamer,

01:58:48though a little absent-minded.

01:58:50But you strive to make

01:58:51the world a better place

01:58:53and invent ways to do so.

01:58:55And if there's a big face

01:58:56of a lion here,

01:58:58then you're a very brave person

01:58:59who's ready to face

01:59:00their insecurities

01:59:01and come out

01:59:02the winner of any fight.

01:59:04And here we have...

01:59:06Crocodiles?

01:59:08Then maybe you like

01:59:09to be in charge

01:59:10and manage your life.

01:59:12Orders from other people

01:59:13make you suffer

01:59:14because you're

01:59:15a natural leader.

01:59:16If you see a bird

01:59:17in the middle,

01:59:18you're ready to help others.

01:59:20You're reliable and friendly.

01:59:22Ok, if the first thing

01:59:23you see here is a car,

01:59:25then you're a person

01:59:26who appreciates their freedom.

01:59:28You like to break away

01:59:29on an unexpected journey.

01:59:31Meet new people

01:59:32and see new places.

01:59:34If you saw a person

01:59:35with binoculars,

01:59:37it means you have

01:59:38an analytical type of thinking.

01:59:40And you like to look at things

01:59:41from afar,

01:59:42often missing small details.

01:59:44And although you can absorb

01:59:45a lot of visual information,

01:59:47you should focus

01:59:48on the smaller things too.

01:59:50If you saw the letter A,

01:59:51then congratulations!

01:59:53You have a very sharp vision,

01:59:55just like an eagle.

01:59:57So hey, you can dive

01:59:58on a salmon!

01:59:59And you have

02:00:00well-developed intuition.

02:00:02Oh, this one is harder!

02:00:04If you're a girl

02:00:05and you've seen

02:00:06a man's face here,

02:00:08then either you're looking

02:00:09for a partner,

02:00:10or your current partner

02:00:11is a priority in your life

02:00:13and you feel a strong

02:00:14emotional connection with him.

02:00:16But if you see

02:00:17a woman's face,

02:00:19then you feel comfortable

02:00:20and self-sufficient.

02:00:22Guys who saw a man's face

02:00:24are concerned about

02:00:25relationships with other men,

02:00:27whether they are colleagues,

02:00:28friends, or even other guys

02:00:29in the gym.

02:00:31And if you see a female face,

02:00:33you're looking for your love.

02:00:35But take your time,

02:00:36or else you may push too hard.

02:00:41This is a test

02:00:42for super Sherlock.

02:00:44Of course,

02:00:45it's two squirrels, right?

02:00:47Well, that means

02:00:48you're pretty lazy,

02:00:49and you don't get

02:00:50too much into details.

02:00:52Now tilt your head

02:00:53a little to the left.

02:00:55Now you can see

02:00:56a woman's face.

02:00:57If that's what you saw

02:00:58from the beginning,

02:01:00then you're an incredibly

02:01:01attentive person

02:01:02who can get along well

02:01:03with other people.

02:01:05And now,

02:01:06we will determine

02:01:07your psychological age.

02:01:09If the first thing you saw

02:01:10was old people's faces,

02:01:12then you've already lived

02:01:13a long and colorful life.

02:01:15You definitely have

02:01:16something to remember.

02:01:18But if you see

02:01:19a young couple

02:01:20sitting next to each other,

02:01:21then you're young

02:01:22and all the fun

02:01:23is waiting for you.

02:01:25Now,

02:01:26be ready to give

02:01:27a quick answer.

02:01:28Remember what you see first.

02:01:30Let's go!

02:01:32If you notice

02:01:33a smiling face,

02:01:34you're an optimist.

02:01:36If it's the open book,

02:01:37you're smart

02:01:38and have a well-developed

02:01:39intuition.

02:01:41If it was roses,

02:01:42you're calm and kind.

02:01:44The tilted cross

02:01:45means that you're faithful.

02:01:47Balloons mean

02:01:48cheerfulness

02:01:49and good imagination.

02:01:51If the first thing you saw

02:01:52was a heart,

02:01:53then you're gentle

02:01:54and affectionate.

02:01:56A lion's face

02:01:57means that you're fearless.

02:01:59And if at first

02:02:00you notice the tie,

02:02:01you're determined

02:02:02and diligent.

02:02:04Oh,

02:02:05and if you saw

02:02:06the ice cream cone,

02:02:07then it's time

02:02:08for an eye exam

02:02:09cause there wasn't

02:02:10one in the picture.

02:02:15You know,

02:02:16scientists claim

02:02:17that the way your brain

02:02:18perceives and analyzes

02:02:19information

02:02:20can reveal

02:02:21a lot about

02:02:22your personality.

02:02:24Look at each of these

02:02:25optical illusions

02:02:26for a couple of seconds.

02:02:28What you see first

02:02:29can say a lot

02:02:30about who you are.

02:02:33If the first thing you saw

02:02:34was a tree,

02:02:36you tend to pay

02:02:37too much attention

02:02:38to details.

02:02:39But you're great

02:02:40at feeling the mood

02:02:41of other people.

02:02:42It makes you

02:02:43a tactful

02:02:44and empathetic person.

02:02:46And if you spotted

02:02:47a couple facing each other,

02:02:48you're logical,

02:02:49calm,

02:02:50and rational.

02:02:51You know how

02:02:52to reason with people

02:02:53even when they're

02:02:54sad or nervous.

02:02:57If you saw a car

02:02:58in this picture,

02:02:59you treasure your freedom.

02:03:01You like it

02:03:02when things go according

02:03:03to your plan.

02:03:04That's why it's often

02:03:05hard for you to make

02:03:06fast decisions.

02:03:07If you thought

02:03:08it was a man

02:03:09holding binoculars,

02:03:10you don't usually pay

02:03:11too much attention

02:03:12to details.

02:03:13Instead,

02:03:14you focus on

02:03:15the big picture.

02:03:17But maybe you noticed

02:03:18the letter A first.

02:03:20Then you have

02:03:21a rare ability

02:03:22to spot things

02:03:23other people miss.

02:03:24You're extremely

02:03:25intuitive

02:03:26and can think

02:03:27outside the box.

02:03:31If the first thing

02:03:32you see in the picture

02:03:33is two thumbs,

02:03:34you're a great leader

02:03:35and an excellent organizer.

02:03:38You're ready

02:03:39to take responsibility.

02:03:40And you understand

02:03:41what consequences

02:03:42your actions will have.

02:03:44And if you spotted

02:03:45an eruption,

02:03:46you have an altruistic

02:03:47personality.

02:03:49You're interested

02:03:50in people

02:03:51and want to help them.

02:03:53And here's number 4.

02:03:55If it's a monkey

02:03:56you noticed first,

02:03:57that's my picture.

02:03:59No, actually,

02:04:00you're an independent person.

02:04:02It's crucial for you

02:04:03to have some personal space.

02:04:05If you saw a tiger,

02:04:06you don't mind

02:04:07taking risks.

02:04:09You believe

02:04:10nothing is impossible

02:04:11if you try hard enough.

02:04:15If the first thing

02:04:16you saw was several trees

02:04:17in front of a sunset,

02:04:18you're very perceptive

02:04:19and easy-going.

02:04:21If you spotted

02:04:22a feline's face,

02:04:24you're a determined person.

02:04:26You always stick

02:04:27to the decisions you make

02:04:28and move towards your goal

02:04:29no matter what.

02:04:33If the first thing

02:04:34you noticed in this image

02:04:35was an outline of a face,

02:04:37you're likely

02:04:38to be an introvert.

02:04:40You don't like noisy parties.

02:04:42They make you feel worn out,

02:04:43both physically and emotionally.

02:04:46If you saw a saxophonist,

02:04:48you're more extroverted.

02:04:50You love socializing

02:04:51and people fall all over themselves

02:04:53to make friends with you.

02:04:55But remember to rest

02:04:56and not to burn out.

02:04:59If you only saw

02:05:00some nature in this image,

02:05:02your life is full of

02:05:03different events at the moment.

02:05:05You don't like routine,

02:05:06choosing to mix up

02:05:07your activities.

02:05:09This way,

02:05:10you'll never do the same stuff

02:05:11several days in a row.

02:05:13If you noticed a face

02:05:14hidden in this image,

02:05:16it's facing the bottom

02:05:17of the frame.

02:05:18You're an organized person.

02:05:19You find it hard

02:05:20to live without a plan.

02:05:22It makes you feel unsafe.

02:05:26If you saw zebras more clearly,

02:05:28you love talking

02:05:29and enjoy being

02:05:30surrounded by people.

02:05:32Making new acquaintances

02:05:33is your hobby.

02:05:35You don't like

02:05:36following boring routines.

02:05:38If it was a lion

02:05:39that stood out in the image,

02:05:41you prefer a calmer lifestyle.

02:05:43You'd rather spend

02:05:44some quality time

02:05:45with your few trusted friends

02:05:46and your family.

02:05:47Having too many people around

02:05:48drains your energy,

02:05:50which makes you avoid

02:05:51crowded places.

02:05:55If you saw a face

02:05:56in this image,

02:05:58you're approachable

02:05:59and laid back.

02:06:01People feel that you care.

02:06:03That's why they often

02:06:04unload their problems on you.

02:06:06But maybe the first thing

02:06:07you paid attention to

02:06:09was someone waving

02:06:10a magic wand

02:06:11at a kneeling figure.

02:06:13Then you're an ambitious person.

02:06:15Whatever you do,

02:06:16you gotta do it

02:06:17better than others.

02:06:20If it was a cat

02:06:21that stood out in the image,

02:06:23you probably don't like changes.

02:06:25People know

02:06:26they can rely on you.

02:06:28At the same time,

02:06:29you tend to keep your feelings

02:06:30and emotions in check.

02:06:32If you saw a face,

02:06:34you're a creative person.

02:06:36You love learning new things.

02:06:38And your intuition

02:06:39helps you find opportunities

02:06:41literally everywhere.

02:06:43If the first thing

02:06:44that jumped out at you

02:06:45was a cliff,

02:06:47you can tackle

02:06:48pretty much any problem.

02:06:50All thanks to your

02:06:51positive outlook on life.

02:06:55Is it a large,

02:06:56serious cat in the image?

02:06:58Then you're a realist

02:06:59when it comes to life.

02:07:01You see the big picture,

02:07:02and it helps you

02:07:03deal with problems.

02:07:05But if it's a mouse

02:07:06that caught your attention,

02:07:07you're an optimist.

02:07:09You try to find

02:07:10something positive

02:07:11in any situation.

02:07:13And in most cases,

02:07:14you succeed.

02:07:18If you saw a woman's face

02:07:19in this picture,

02:07:20you often rely

02:07:21on your intuition.

02:07:23And it doesn't usually

02:07:24let you down.

02:07:25You're also attentive

02:07:26to what's happening

02:07:27in the world around you.

02:07:29But what if you focused

02:07:30on flowers?

02:07:32Then you're someone

02:07:33who often feels

02:07:34the need to slow down

02:07:35and relax in nature.

02:07:40If a cute round face

02:07:41was what you noticed first,

02:07:43you're a sensitive

02:07:44and friendly person.

02:07:46You don't like conflicts

02:07:47and try to deal

02:07:48with disagreements

02:07:49in a peaceful way.

02:07:51If you paid attention

02:07:52to two birds,

02:07:53you're cheerful

02:07:54and outgoing.

02:07:56You love meeting new people.

02:08:00If you saw an elephant,

02:08:01you're loyal to your friends

02:08:02and respectful

02:08:03to your family.

02:08:05People like your friendly

02:08:06and considerate personality.

02:08:08They also appreciate

02:08:09what a great listener

02:08:10you are.

02:08:11If you paid attention

02:08:12to a small village,

02:08:13you're quite traditional.

02:08:15You prefer a peaceful

02:08:16and simple lifestyle

02:08:17over a city bustle.

02:08:23If it was the pillars

02:08:24that attracted your attention,

02:08:25you value comfort

02:08:26and security.

02:08:28It can be hard for you

02:08:29to break out

02:08:30of your comfort zone.
