  1. Those squares undoubtedly look exactly the same size to me. I find it interesting that other people may think differently.

  2. The white hole has a 1-pixel grey border around it. The white hole is actually exactly the same size as the black square, but the grey border is 1 pixel wider, so the hole looks “sort of” bigger than the black square. If it was a cleaner image then it would have been a less ambiguous illusion.
