I’m almost finished with setting the new site and design, and in the next few days you will witness Mighty Optical Illusions RELOADED! Yes, that’s right – new design, new platform (WordPress), and all your favorite illusions and comments in one place. All the links and stuff will be on the same permalinks (you won’t notice the move), but much faster and nicer than ever! This is probably why the texts and illusions I post lately are crappy, but all this will change soon, when I finish the migration, and concentrate more on the new content.
One thing I need to ask you is to have patience, and report all the broken and missing stuff on the new website, as it will take few days to fix everything properly after I redirect moillusions.com domain to new destination. I found this nice little illusion, and set it to appear in all your widgets. Your assignment is to tell me which of these two boxers is taller? The one who won, or the other poor one – laying on the floor? If you have experience with this kind of illusions, you’ll know the answer before you even finish reading this post!

Both the same. I think…
their obv the same
dur
They are both the same height!!
They look the same height to me…am I missing something??…
haha
they’re exactly the same
it only appears that way because the artist drew this in such a way that it appears that the winning boxer is on top of the loser.
So, basically, they E-ZAC-TUH-LEE the same!
ciao, bella!
It’s because, something like, the human brain always under-estimates the length of lines horizonatally compared to vertical ones as they are easier to process.
I know they are both taller then each other……
Hmm my arms are as far apart as I am tall so id say the same…..
They are the same!
Good illusion. the same
yes, they are the same size… this one is not as good compared to some on this site
same–eyes actually have more trouble moving up and down than they do moving side to size, so the extra movements vertically explain why we see vertical lines as being longer than horizontal lines, when in fact they are both the exact same size.
Hope that helps!
:D
they r both the same=)
the winner is taller… i think?
Try guessing before reading the answer!!!
They are both the same height!
same
Layin man. My finger measure lies not.
I think they look the same, Is one suppose to look taller?
me no get
I’m sure it’s supposed to look like the winner is taller, but I think they’re the same height.
THey are the same height.
they’re the same aren’t they?
They’re both the same height, of course.
The two boxers are the same height.
Ohm both are equal . 4.9 cm (in the proper website)
It looks like winner taller than the loser,
but
I think the two guys are in the same lenth.
First , the winner in any game will being looked taller than loser.
In the other hand, the loser lies between the two lines of the conner,seens very limited ,shorter than the winner.
Well, they are the same size. The slanting rof stripes make the one on the ground appear shorter. But this is very effective if you do not know what is happening. First?
Seems equal to me
there the same height
they are the same size
They are the same size.
Well, of course, that depends on how you measure tall . . .
By the standard measurement of “tall”–measuring from floor to head–the poor guy lying on his back is very, very short. :-D
No, actually, I do know the answer, but I won’t ruin it for those who haven’t seen one of these before. Hint: measure both red lines; you may surprise yourself.
Same size
They’re probably the same height, but the winner really does look taller.
They are the same height!
i think its the one who’s standing..!
really cool illusion.. but it’s pretty obvious they are exactly the same size…
keep the hard work nice site :)
Yepp thats an easy one. woot!
They are the same, what else? These optical illusions are always like these. I just guessed it from my widget!
Although there are no comments, I bet I’m not the first, but the first few since you’re busy moving. I have a wordpress blog, too!
theyre the same .. right ?
they’re both the same size neither is taller or shorter. Great site, keep up the good work.
obviously they are tall exactly the same!
bye
they’d have to be the same size right? if it’s the type of illusion I’m thinking of :)
I think the heights are equal. But it’s pretty clear in my opinion…
Equal
Theyre both the same height!!
They are the same size.
there’s a question like this on the optical illusions test, look in category `test`
btw first comment?
Those red lines should not be there.
neither
It’s EASY, there both the same height!
It even says: “same size!” in the top corner!
Theyre identical
I think the winner one looks taller because some people think that the green pants are Part of his body too
exactly the same
They have the same high I think
Waiting in anticipation for MOI Reloaded. :-)
Both the boxers should be of the same height (seeing that this is the way these kind of illusions seem to work)..but I find something else queer about the picture…something about the shape and perception of the boxing ring..hmmmm, and maybe because of that, it feels, at least to me that the winner is standing on the loser. :-P
i automatically assumed that they were going to be the same size. but the standing boxer is actually smaller. Great trick… i mean iluuuusion.
They both look the same size to me – even without the red lines as guidelines.
they are both the same height!
They’re… the same size?
Good luck and looking forward to the migration!
*packs luggage*
yep… knew the answer before i finished reading it
Same height….
they are the same
they are the same hight
Looking forward to the new and improved site. Thanx for all your hard work in giving us, your fans, your very best.
These to Boxers are the same height, the one in red shorts has larger gloves. Maybe thats how he won!! Why is there no ref?
both the same height
They are the same heighth.
without knowing the answer I would say they looked the same although the one on the floor may be slightly bigger
They may be the same height… but the standing guy is wider… not really impressed.
they are the same…
the one who won looks taller bit he isn’t
they are the same length…
ATTENTION! SPOILER!
Same size. Vurdlak, you should post new ones (I know this one like since centuries ago).
Cheers!
SAME SIZE!
