Here is an “impossible” version pictured with a high degree of realism. The two points where the linear edges must overlap have been purposely confused. The resulting figure produces an even more jarring figure-ground dilemma, likely to be interpretted as humorous or upsetting.

    the bar in back that seems to go through the front bar really doesn’t.

    the bar in front is cut just rihgt to make it look like that.

    Wow, this is done in Photoshop. Look closely at the bar that should go in the back, but is in the front. If you look close enough, they are a different resolution, not by much, but a little. Obviously, the bar was created and placed overtop the front bar, but covers up the back bar.

    YOU PEOPLE ARE SO PARANOID!!! EVERYTHING THAT LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PHOTOSHOPPED!!! WHY DO YOU NOT GET THAT?!?

    its sooooooooooooo easy the wooden peice is cut

  16. Tom

    it can be drawn in Auto CAD then rendered. I just performed this drawing. once completed, the wood is cut. Yet geometrically your eyes will not accept this.

  18. richie

    its a drawing it doesnt need to be possible the top right corner is’nt connected if it was it would make sence

    this was not photoshopped and it is not a drawing. The bar was cut. The right side is cut slanted so the side of the right side is not seen.

    I’ve got an optical illusions book that has this in it. I agree with comments 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 18, and ESPECIALLY 15.
