My favorite optical illusion.

I’ve always loved optical illusions, but this one by far is my favorite. Why? Some ask a question such as, “which line is longer?” By the way it’s worded, you know it’s really a trick question and that the lines are probably the same length, even though they may not quite look that way.

This one however makes you say, “no way!” I had to drop the image into a graphic program and look at the RGB values before I was convinced. Even still, I’m shocked whenever I look at the image. The brain is really amazing in its interpretations.

Enjoy!
