What I have prepared for you today is an old trick that plays with your brains. Most recent example we posted was when you had to count the dogs in an infinite flowing animation. Remember that? I think all of this has developed out from the Impossible Pillars illusion, one we had the chance to post at the very beginning of this site. What you have to do today, is count the pencils. That’s it, nothing special – or is it? Just how many pencils are there in this image? Can you spot where one pencil ends, and the other one starts? Think of an impossible flow-meter, if this looks to problematic…
This trick reminded me of an old story. Apparently, Americans have spent millions of dollars in search for a pen that would work in zero-gravity, on their space expeditions. It took plenty of time and resources for NASA to solve this problem. Russians, on the other hand, simply brought a pencil when they went to space. There you have it – who knows if this actually happened. Would be darn funyy if it were true. Hope we have some NASA employees among us to explain this further!
By the way, we have heavily surpassed the 3,000 subscribers mark on our Facebook fan-group, and our counter is growing fast with each minute. Glad to see so many of you invited your families and friends to join our group! I promise to keep it fresh with stuff never before seen on this site. My thanks goes to all of you who joined…
