Is this a perfect square or not.?

Here is a mind trick. Count the legs on the elephant.

This mind trick fools you into counting one to many prongs on the fork.

Slowly move away from the screen. Does anything happen?

If you move away from the center you can see the circle start to move.

Hey ONE!
Those are really good!
When I was OCA (Ontario College of Art) back in the 70s, we used to combine colours and design to create some awesome illusions. I wish I had kept some of them! These are classics and 90% or all people can record the changes. The one with, "how many faces can you see?" has always confounded me. This piece of art is about five feet high by about three and three quarter feet. I saw it hanging in the Ontario Art Gallery one time and no matter how many time I approached it (on different days) I counted different numbers...

Some of the faces are so small and delicate that you would have to lay a surveyors grid over it and count square by square.

Good for you. These are great!

Try to say the color and not the word.
