Hey! Previous post I did yesterday, already gave some results. Andrew Miller and Robert Irvine (editor at Web User magazine) both sent me a scanned photo of the page where our widget was mentioned! Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I will probably create “MOI in The News” section, where I will post all those articles that made reference to this site. If you have some material, don’t hesitate to send it. Stay tuned!
In the mean time, here is a simple illusion that surely worked for me. Have a look at the picture below. Can you see the deliberate mistake the author did? Some people see it immediately, while others stare at the image, and takes them eternity to notice. Some people don’t see it at all. Jump inside the article, and read the answer I wrote below the photo – or confirmation of your answer (if you have already seen the solution)!
You did spot it, didn’t you? If not, just ask yourself …. what is the name of this animal?

check the original picture
http://www.raskraska.ru/book/img/giraffe_01.jpg
I think it has something to do with the legs ;)
Um… Well it has zebra skin although it’s a giraffe.
Where is the Penguin?!
I can’t see it!
Lol, the penguin is cute!
This is phantastic “instinker”
Ruud
Well, duh. It’s so obvious.
The Zebra’s neck is too long.
I don’t know why, but I find that simply hilarious!! Especially after my younger brother got frustrated and started ranting about mind control using illusory lies and whatnot…
there is no penguin.
anyone that didn’t notice this needs to take a retard test to see if they are a retard or not.
umm yes there is!!! u need to take a retarded test. or get ur eyes check !!!
instantly noticeable !
LOL – I looked at the original picture, and my first thought was: “that’s not right.” XDD Aaaaaah, MOI is twisting our brain perceptions!! XD
I stared so closely! Actually it’s obvious
ITS A ZERAFF! THE RARE ANIMAL!!!! :D
Hm, I dunno how anyone could not see that. :-\
Took it kinda long to see though, but when I jumped to the article, I found out the answer was right in front of me! Hehey… Fooled me. Keep ‘em coming!!!
I got it at onces, does that mean im smart???
I had my mind focused on looking for like false legs or something else. It took me 30 seconds to figure out it was OBVIOUSLY a Giraffe photoshopped with zebra stripes…this is a good one.
It’s not a zebra!! lol
wow how did the giraffe get those zebra stripes! was it painted, photoshoped, or was it just born like that (i doubt it was even close to being born like that) *unsure*
Hahah theres a penguiN!!!!!!!!! XD
i see the penguin it is behind the animal, i think it is called a pengraffebra
is it a bird ?
is it a plane?
NOOOO
it is a giraf
with zebra marks.
omg, it’s a giraffe with zebra stripes!! wtf??
IT’S A GEBRA!
Elijah2200: good answer XD “gebra”
i thinks its more of a Ziraffe
I saw the mistake at first glance, but my brother/mum both took a few minutes to get it.
Also, is that a penguin on its back?
Looks more like a frog to me.
is your brother and mum one person?
that long hair dont cover your red neck boy
Tail???
Its got 2 mistakes.
1: the griaffe is black and white(like a zebra)
2: look at the tail!
look at the tail OMG!!!
cool! it’s a giraffe and a zebra! must be a gebra or a ziraffe?!?
So… where’s the illusion? I see a giraffe with photoshopped zebra stripes. Not anything illusory though. The tails seems to be a tail to me.
Is there something more?
And this does not help: “You did spot it, didn’t you? If not, just ask yourself …. what is the name of this animal?”
This animal doesn’t have a name.
ITS TAIL!!
heres the link 2 the actual pic http://www.veeriku.tartu.ee/~ppensa/giraffe3.jpg LOOK AT THE TAIL!!! BIG DIFFERENCE!!!
it looked normel then i im like WTF!!!!
is it a zirafe?
or a gebra?
or gibra?
zerafe?
. . . .
GEEBUS!
The mistake is that it has zebra skin and not giraffe. http://www.veeriku.tartu.ee/~ppensa/giraffe3.jpg look at that and you will see… there is nothing wrong with the tail….
Wow I to be honest nearly missed it but before I went to the helping question I saw that he he in fact changed the giraffe’s coat into that of a zebra. Very clever.
OMG! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUMB!!! it actually took me a while to figure out what was wrong with it!!!!
i just realized how dumb i can be
i only spotted it after seeing the first comment
Finally, the words of patrick star make sense. “HA HA HAHAHA IT’S A GIRAFFE!”
Lol?
That’s to easy to be serious…
It’s a ZIBRAFFE!
It’s the Air Canada owner’s pet’s pet’s horse’s pet’s dog’s pet.
is it a giraffe with zebra skin or a zebra with a giraffes neck? I DONT KNOW!!! btw it will be a ziraffe or a gebra…
Lol, i couldnt tell, then looked at the text at the bottom – ‘If not, just ask yourself …. what is the name of this animal?’ I said zebra then suddenly realised, lol
HAVE A GIRAFFE FATHER AND A ZEBRA MOTHER NEVER WAS EASY FOR THE BIG CHARLIE
i thought it was normal here i am looking for whats wrong then i relized it had zebra stripes. surprise!
Zebraffe.
Cool pic, but I would not really
call it an “illusion” though.
my friend did not see that right away it took him about 5 mins..
Duu
Wait! two tails?
i saw the mistake the first glance i had because i thought it was obvious! :D
……. very easy illusion though… but its cool
I wish movies would put optical illusions in them and in the end say did you spot it?
@karlie
I second that
a zebra and a giraffe were mating and it had both dna when it was born so it had a shape of a giraffe and stripes of a zebra
as soon as i saw ask yourself what is this animal? i instantly said ZEBRA!
lol is it the giraffe that is the mistake or is it the zebra?
haha i love the caption
lol i was like, its the hips and shoulders! then i’m like……. waaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiittttttttt ahaha
zirraffe!!¡¡
I didn’t see anything wrong with it, until I read the little hint at the bottom. I can’t believe I was THAT stupid.
What would you call that? A ziraffe?
I didn’t see it at first sight, but when I had read the text I saw that ear, haha! :)
wow few say that it has stripes of a zebra look at it!
I feel stupid that I didn’t see that the animal hasn’t got the right colours.. -_____-
the color is for zebra…. but its actually a giraffe… haha
I found the penguin!
these animals are now extinct i believe the last known
specimen died in a german zoo in late 1880s they were
known as quaggas look it up
it must be a female Zebraff….no Occicones!
helllllooooooo people in America and wherever else you’re from. LEARN YOUR AFRICAN ANIMALS. sheesh.
and no, not a quagga. a quagga is a donkey and zebra. look it up ;)
PEOPLE wake up! I mean, how dumb is this quest ? :3
first of all this is NOT a zebra it’s a giraffe ! you can tell by the shape of the head (tiny corns on top) , second, the giraffe is in a zebra skin, third, yea, there’s a penguin on top of the giraffe’s back -_-’
