Shiv Bansal submitted this unusual optical illusion. As you might have noticed, we are always trying to move the boundaries in this wonderfull world of visual phenomena – and this illusion is a perfect case. Here’s how Shiv explained it:
“This work was in relation to my coursework as business school. I had to give a note this illusion in my paper. See the attached graph and answer the question…What is the value of MBS market (bottom green area) in 2005 – is it less than 5000, or greater than 5000?
Most people would say that it is less than 5000 – reality is that it is more than 5000 – it’s an accident – I made the graph, and was having hard time to find why was excel giving me a wrong graph. I was plotting a figure of greater than 5000 and it was showing me less than 5000 and then i took a scale to see the exact value – and it was all right – it was more than 5000!“
