Caris Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 No, nothing jumps out and scares you or anything like that. http://www.dothetest.co.uk/ Don't spoil it for others. Did you fail, i sure did.
kyletherobot Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I failed. I get the point of this but it's a bit silly really.
Nintendohnut Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I saw it on Brainiac a while ago, so I passed. Winner!
Supergrunch Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah I've had a lecture featuring this, and seen it on Brainiac, so I passed.
Oxigen_Waste Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Eh-eh, lol, I like this. They sure fooled me. Oh well, at least I got the number of passes right.
Eenuh Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Saw one like this in my Psychology class, which was even more difficult cause you weren't allowed to count the passes if the ball hit the ground first (and there were multiple balls to count). But yeah, I failed that one back then. it had a gorilla though, which looked cooler than this moonwalking bear =P
Vicar Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 oh my god I feel so silly after watching this I failed big time
ReZourceman Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 That is excelent. I epic phailed. However, when Im driving I am aware of cyclists and other road users, and I don't particularly keep an eye out for moonwalking bears.
ShadowV7 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Haha that was good. I passed though, caught my attention when I was counting when I seen something waltz in
welsh_gamer Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Got the number of passes corect, but failed the test. Derren Brown did something similar when I saw him live, but it involved a game of table tennis. Not many hands went up when he asked how many passed the test.
Rummy Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 This is quite a well known thing now, I heard of it in my first year, and Richard Wiseman has written a book based on it, and seeing hidden oppurtunities and all that. I think it is pretty interesting though, how can we be so blind to something right in front of our eyes?! Makes me realise just how fickle the human brain can be, and I find it makes me constantly doubt myself.
martinist Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I got the number of passes right but i didn't spot that guy in costume. I feel like an idiot.
Jimbob Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I'm quite good at this sort of thing, so i passed the passing bit but i didn't see the bear until later, so failed on that part
Guest Stefkov Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Really there was a bear? Wow I'm so stupid. Why do I even try these tests when it's clear that I'll never pass them because I've been asked another question so my attention is elsewhere. I'm so stupid.
fex Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) I went to see Derren Brown last friday and he used the same kinda of video but with table tennis players instead, and the two players in black, switched with apes. So I was well aware what this was going to be ________ Yamaha maxim xj750 history Edited April 28, 2011 by fex
ReZourceman Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 What do you win for getting neither correct? Any extra prize for your guess being 5 or more off?
Aimless Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I 'failed'. Whilst this is cool, essentially it boils down to, "You didn't see something you weren't looking at!" This makes it a good advert for cyclist awareness, but the revelation is more one of common sense than psychology.
