Title: still the best optical illusion Post by: zombie no.one on May 12, 2015, 06:34:55 PM this is old, I'm guessing at least three quarters of you will have seen this (not specific enough? how about 19/23rds of you), but this never fails to blow my mind.
even though I know 100% that squares "A" and "B" are exactly the same shade of grey it still refuses to make sense that they are (http://i60.tinypic.com/ak7l8h.png) how can it be truuuuueeeeee?!?!?!? noooo....

I wear my Geek hat proudly, by the way. As a photographer, I understand the 'why' behind this illusion, but it still frustrates me that I see it the way I do in context. It is carefully crafted.
