You GOTTA See This
OK, so I've got a video clip you just HAVE to see. This video stumped an entire grad class of masters and PhD students...plus the professor. By the way, you have to have Java Applet on your computer. I can't give you a link because I don't know how to get it; maybe someone can suggest a link for me. And the file is pretty big--7 Mbs--but I think it is well worth it.
Please read ALL of the instructions on this page before you see the video clip. It is important that you know exactly what I want you to do or you will get too confused.
This video will test your powers of observation. In this clip, there are two groups of children passing balls around, the kids in the white shirts and the kids in the black shirts. Your job is to count how many times the kids in the white shirts pass the ball. It gets very confusing, so just paying attention to the white shirts will be a little easier. You can count however you need to: tally marks, counting on fingers, saying the number aloud, however works for you. The key is that you may only watch the video once.
Now, watch the video and pay very close attention to the kids in the white shirts. When you've got an answer, click on to the extended entry to find out if you're right. Ready?
Did you get an answer??
OK, now I want you to watch the video again. This time, don't pay any particular attention to the group of kids in white. Just watch the video of the whole group and see if you find something a little different. UPDATE: Flip helped me realize that you have to drag the little rewind button back to the beginning. It doesn't automatically replay. Just advising you.
Did you see anything interesting?

Hmm... I seems I can't watch it twice for some reason. Nothing happens when I click the play button again. But am I entirely wrong if I think that ONLY the kids in white have the ball?
(Argh! I have to see this again... Maybe if I reload the page?)
