Cherries are the hardest illusion to pack. You must hold the cherry, and then, quickly, PACK it!

as you can see around me, S-B-C.

nono. you must put the cherry in front of you, put the carrot-mirage in front of the cherry, and when the cherry is not looking, PACK IT, quickly!

yeah!

do you know how long i stared at that one? i still don't believe it... but i do, of course, because they say so, and after all they are scientists... it's just that... i don't. you know. i sat in front of my monitor covering up the rest of the board with my hands and they still looked like different shades of grey =)

Re: yeah!

Actually yeah it looked so ridiculous that my officemate and I actually opened the image up in the GIMP (like Photoshop) and compared the colors... yep they're exactly the same. Insane!

Re: yeah!

omg that is blowing my mind! It really wasn't at all believable that those were the same color, but I covered the rest of the image up with random windows and they do look like the same color! Holy crap. But when I removed the windows they looked different again to the point of disbelief (again).
