Research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario. Children see nine dolphins. This is a test to determine if you already have a corrupted mind. If it is hard for you to find the dolphins within six seconds, your mind is indeed corrupted. Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena Want to confuse your eyes and brain a bit? Yes? Then you might want to have a look at the following pics .. It ... … doesn‘t move! ... parallel or not? Coil or circle? Concentrate on the cross in the middle, after a while you will notice that this moving purple dot will turn green! Look at the cross a bit longer and you‘ll notice that all dots except the green one will disappear. Best things last ... Follow the instruction below. 1) Stare at the 4 little dots on the middle of the picture for 30 seconds * 2) then look at a wall near you * 3) a bright spot will appear * 4) twinkle a few times and you‘ll see a figure * 5) What do you see? Or even WHO do you see? * * Chunking 149162536496481100 Try this 14 91 62 53 64 96 48 11 00 Or this 149 162 536 496 481 100 Chunking continued… 149162536496481100 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 81 100 First 10 square numbers!
