Er… you have to scroll past the solution in order to read the actual question!

This can’t be right, surely?

Give the guy a break, will you? He provides optical illusions for your entertainment day after day after day after day. And what do you do? You complain when he advertises stuff. On his own site. Which he paid for himself. And he doesn’t even do it everyday! Most days he just talks about the illusion and nothing more.

I know being grateful is a very hard thing to do. But you can learn. It’s very useful later on in your life.

I think you would be interested in reading my analysis of perceptual illusion. See ‘Narrative, Perception, Language, and Faith’ (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006).

Good one, Vurdlak! Simple, yet good.

As my eyes told me that the red dot was the center dot, I was very certain that it was not. Because that was why it became an illusion. The curved lines would force your eyes to perceive it that way.

And I was right! Ha!

what happened to the original moillusions? where they “actually” talked about illusions instead of just make it a site for adds and trying to get people to download their widget? this website used to be a daily for me. Now its just an old widget i look at while im waiting for my weather info to load.

I agree, second image should show both dots. I’m not so sure it’s obvious even without the curved lines. Nevertheless, I did “guess” right.

i didn’t think either of them were central they didn’t look central to me but when the green one turned out central I was surprised…

I wish you would post information about the illusion insead of us guessing what it is supposed to be. This one was easy to figure out but some are not.

Great site! Saw you on the BBC segment.

In the spirit of requested feedback, my one and only criticism would be that everything loads very slowly compared to 95% of the other sites I browse daily.

Keep up the great work!
