Evening Fun

This is a fun brain exerciser and it requires a little blog honor. This is a visual test to see how perceptive you are. The exercise requires you to view the following video and count how many times the players in the white shirts pass the ball back and forth. That's it. But if you view the video more than once, you will not get a true gauge of your perception.

Here is the link to the video, java is required:

Blog honor should kick in right about now. How many times did the white shirts pass the ball back and forth?

Now watch the video again and this time do not count the balls being passed back and forth, just look at the video.

Did you have surprising results?

It's called inattentional blindness and you can read more about it here:

That's pretty cool!
