Optical Illusions

What's real and what's a trick played on us by our own eyes?

I can't promise you won't need an aspirin or a nap after taking a look at this stuff, but what I can promise is that you'll look at everything with an entirely new perspective for the rest of the day. Isn't that a good thing?

#1. Black dots

How many black dots can you count in the image below? Are there really any at all?

#2. Motionless?

Is the image below moving? Are you 100% sure?

#3. Rotation

Is the image below animated? Where is it moving exactly? Are you willing to bet on it?

#4. Word Jumble

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

#5. Watermelons

Are these watermelons sitting still? Which ones are rotating?

#6. Gray Lines

Are the gray lines between the black and white blocks slanted, or parallel to each other?

If you're not sure, hold up a piece of paper or a ruler to it.

#7. Color Misperception

Look at the four groups of 5 blocks. A and B seem to be the same color, right?

In reality...

A and D are the same color.

B and C are the same color.
