      The Brain Is A Freaky Thing
      Feb 20, 2009 11:57:50 am
       FREAKY!!!
       
      This one is a bit different
       


      Read out loud the text inside the triangle below.




      More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and........
      if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see
      that the word THE is repeated twice!
      Sorry, look again.
      Next, let's play with some words.
      What do you see?







       


      In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil ).   

       

       

      Now, what do you see?

       

       

       




       

       
       

      You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?



      What do you see here?

       

       



       

       

      This one is quite tricky!

      The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.

       

       

      Last one.

      What do you see?

       




       

      You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......

      when you look through ME

      you will see

      YOU!

       

       

      Do you need to look again?

      This is really cool. The second one is amazing so please read all the way though.
       
         
       
       
                                               
        
        
          
         ALZHEIMERS'  EYE TEST 


      Count  every 'F'  in the following text:

      FINISHED  FILES ARE THE RE
      SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
      FIC STUDY  COMBINED WITH
      THE EXPERIENCE OF  YEARS... 

      (SEE  BELOW)

      HOW MANY?




      WRONG,  THERE ARE 6  --  No joke.
      READ IT AGAIN!
      Really,  go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll  down. 




      The  reasoning behind is further down.



      The brain  cannot process "OF."
       
                               


      Incredible  or what? Go back and look again!



      Anyone who  counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. 
                                 
                              
      Three is normal, four is quite rare.

      Yeah I managed to suss the pictures out but was really baffled with myself with 'F's' one, especially as i've seen something similar before, i read the passage 3 times and only counted 3 F's each time, it's very strange indeed how you totally miss the OF's.

      As for that passage, was able to read it no problem.....eevn bteter tahn if the ltetres wree in the rhgit palce......;D

      Here's my personal favourite.

      Follow the instructions carefully before doing it otherwise it won't work.




      Stare at the four black dots in the center of the image for 30 - 60 seconds. Then look at a wall and you should see a white circle with an image inside it. What do you see?  :)

      Here's a couple more.

      Short-Circuit Your Brain



      Look at the chart above and say the COLOR of the word, not the word itself.

      Why is it so difficult? Because the right half of your brain is trying to say the color, while the left side of your brain is trying to say the word.




      See if you can do this. Read each line aloud.

      This is this cat
      This is is cat
      This is how cat
      This is to cat
      This is keep cat
      This is a cat
      This is dumbass cat
      This is busy cat
      This is for cat
      This is forty cat
      This is seconds cat


      Now go back and read the THIRD word
      in each line from the top.
      Betcha you can't resist passing it on. ;D!

      I love optical illusions. And I counted all 6 F's as well.  ;D

      I've got loads of e-mails with these kinds of things. I'll try and dig them out.

      The brain is very fascinating.

      Try this out:
      While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. What happens?


      Mind tricks:
      FOLLOW these instructions one at a time and as QUICKLY as you can!

      What is:
      -2+2?
      -4+4?
      -8+8?
      -16+16?



      Quick! Pick a number between 12 and 5.
      Got it?







      The number you picked was 7.


      And another one:
      Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can! Don't advance until you've done each of them.

      What is:
      -1+5
      -2+4
      -3+3
      -4+2
      -5+1

      Now repeat saying the number 6 to yourself as fast as you can for 10 seconds. Then scroll down.

      QUICK!!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then scroll down.









      You're thinking of a carrot.

      If not....
      you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are warped enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer 'carrot' when given this exercise.

      Really interesting stuff.

      I've always loved illusions like this like this.

      In Venison's "F" test I saw 4.

      I've seen a variation of the triangle illusion many years ago but the text was "Paris in the the spring"

      I've always loved this one below where the rows look all out of whack and don't look parallel but they are, and I've included some others as well.

      Most people go for 7, which is very freaky!

      Here's a little test of four questions. Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting time. And no cheating.


      Marks, set...GO!!!

      1: You are competing in a race on a straight racetrack, and overtake the runner lying in second place. In which position are you now?

      Answer: If you answered that you're now coming first then you're completely wrong. You overtook the second runner and took their place, therefore you're coming second.

      Next question...

      2: If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now in?

      Answer: If you answered second-last, once again you're completely wrong. Think about it...How can you overtake the person coming last? If you're behind them then they can't be last. The answer is impossible!!

      Anyway, here's another to try, don't take any notes or use a calculator, and remember your replies must be instantaneous. Take heart!!
      3:
      Take 1000. Add 40.
      Add another 1000.
      Add 30. 1000 again.
      Plus 20. Plus 1000.
      And plus 10.

      What is the total?


      Answer: 5000??? Wrong again!!!! The correct answer is 4100. Try again with a good calculator. Today is clearly not your day!! Although you should manage to get the last question right...

      4: Marie's father has five daughters:

      1. Chacha
      2. Cheche
      3. Chichi
      4. Chocho
      5. ????

      Question: What is the fifth daughter's name? Think quickly. You'll find the answer below...


      Answer: Chuchu??? WRONG! It's obviously Marie! Read the question properly!

      Sarcasm aside, if you've answered NONE of these questions correctly, then you're probably in good company! Tricky questions (answered FAST) are like mental illusions -- fooling the brain.

      Read the words between the blocks. If you can’t read it, just get off your chair and try reading it a metre (or two) away from the screen.
