This kind’a reminds me of an old classic film called “The Warriors”. You’ve probably seen it – remember the song “In The City”? Well your asignent is to try and spot what is the optical illusion behind this picture? Can you recognize the city in the image below? I don’t think so… Jump inside the post for the solution!
Hehe tricked you this time. As you see, it isn’t a city at all – just a commercial for micro chips, electronics and processors by CoBis. Have to admit, first time I saw this, I fell for it too! Really amazing resemblance… Did you recognize the mother board of a computer the first time you saw previous image? Optical Illusions rule!

wow thisone is easy…. i have to say it took me about 2 seconds to notice it was a chip but it was easy… you need some hard ones sometime
You had me fooled! I like it :)
Too easy man – try for something a little more difficult.
Actually I saw the micro chips right off, but I have been repairing data systems for 30 years.
I love the effect though. Good find.
Poor Illusion! Is it a illusion at all? Played Micro-city as i was a child…
wow yah fooled me
o and im the first entry HOORAY!!!!!
Circuit Board, sweet.
I caught on right away. but again, i’m a nerd like that.
imgine if that was a real micro chip that could actualy do something!
duh, its a peice of circuit board from a computer
Had me fooled.
It is not a city, but a circuitboard.
Got it in one guess. Nice try, though.
it doesnt look like a city to me, but that may be becauseim blind
Of course I know what city it is – it’s SimCity.
I always thought circuitboards looked like little cities, so I got it right away.
I’ve seen too many motherboards to be fooled by that one.
it just looked like a motherboard when i first saw it, then i saw some towers, then i got it.
easy
If anybody has seen the inside of a computer, probaby even if not, they would know that this is a motherboard. THIS IS LAME!!!
That was hella easy. I knew it was a micro chip from the moment i saw it.
stupid! ;[
I’m 12, and I found it right off.
You need harder ones.
I only saw a city because of the title but it is very obvious that it’s a motherboard.
You wasted your time making that :(
I realized it wasnt a city but i thought it was made of leggos!
okay at first glance it kinda looks like a city but when you look at the ‘ground’ and you look at the ‘buildings’ again you can see it’s a chip or if not some kind of electronic device. p.s.(for melky) you spell lego plurally like this-lego! it’s like sheep!
easy, its a circuit board!!! Can’t fool me.
and brad: “imgine if that was a real micro chip that could actualy do something!”
And your saying a city can’t do anything?
Well when I saw what appeared to be the [long gone] Twin Towers in New York, that’s what I figured it was. But then I noticed some odd water-like places by it, and noticed the chips. Very good!
^^ Nice one. Almost fooled me. But the cylindrical “towers” in the bottom left corner look too much like part of a circuit board.
I admit it. I was fooled for a moment. The fact that I couldn’t recognize it for several seconds qualifies it as an “Optical Illusion!” What if you weren’t LOOKING for anything unusual? Would you notice it as quickly? I don’t think so.
‘*-._.-Wii-._.-*’ :
Hey, Me too!
I thought I saw new york. probarly only since my bro hasn’t taken any computers apart very recently.
at first i focused on the twin towers and i thought , that isnt New York because the buildings around the towers are different , then i looked arounda little and noticed some pci slots, and a bunch of PC mother boards butted against eachother :P
cool, then twin towers look like they are about where the cpu should be, so they must be some weird head sink i never seen before of they are added to the scene photoshoped ?
same with me #8
it was easy but still cool
I’m sorry, but some of you are so rude. Here we have someone putting up some cool stuff and a handful of you are ungrateful enough to say things like, “That’s LAME!” and “STUPID!” Good lord, if you don’t like it, don’t comment on it.
I’m not trying to start a fight, but I’ve been enjoying this site for some time now, and it always makes me sad when I see comments like that. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t super hard, but it was fun and looks cool and it’s entertaining. That’s the most important part. If you want something to confuse you and make you think really hard, work on some quantum physics or make a perpetual motion device.
And not eveyone falls under this catagory, but a few of you do. I just don’t find it polite or tactful.
And with all that being said, I liked it, I thought it was cool. It made me smile even though I figured it out after looking at it for a few seconds.
yeah, the first time i saw this one i knew it can’t be a city, it didn’t have any roads, and a city always has roads
Omg this is so easy why dont ppl try and trick me!
i knew that!!!i used to play with microchips….thing like these
I had a feeling it was a chip or circuit board from the get go but i was trying to picture it as a city cuz i’m gullible like that, oh well
I noticed it realy quickly because I have always noticed how computer componants look like citys.
i though it was “New York”, but then again i never actually really ever LOOKED at a microchip/motherboard..
That is so cool. I never would have guessed.
Dude, please tell me, do my eyes deceive myself?
-zymer2003-
It doesn’t look like a city because there is so much empty land inside, and randomly there is skyscrppers
you got me man, I tought it was sci-fi newyork or some sort.
it had me fooled until i read what sheepdawg said
lol 1 second I was only looking at the “skyscrapers”, then looked at the rest and said, “Oh, that’s SOOOO a computer chip thingy!”
i have to say.. i really thought that was a city
Ace :)
My dad has alot of micro chips- god knows why,
And when i was little i used to imagine them as tiny cities with tiny people living in them
ahh good times (Y)
xo
its a circut bord
cool :]
it took me a few seconds to realise what they were
these are computor chips WTH
I recognise the two towers…
2 seconds in I realise it was micro chips.
all cities have streets
OMG I GOT IT :D and then i was like, nah, it can’t be… so i checked… AND I WAS RIGHT! haha i feel all nerdy now :D
I actually was playing with my friends old M/B last week… So that’s probs why i realised it wasn’t a city right away. lol.
ITS CIRCUIT CITY YAY! Cool illusion i think that is one of the best on this website.
I want to live in a city with giant RAM slots and IDE ports. Was ANYONE really fooled by this?
i figured it out when i read, its not a city at all, =)
goodone
fooled me!
IT IS COOL
Looked like the twin towers…
