Are there 12 or 13 men in this picture?

These people are Americans. Don't expect anything meaningful or... uh... normalcy...

Heh, I was staring at those people for a long time before I saw the special splits they were doing.

As for the checkers... A and B are definitely not the same shade.

Yeah... the colors one is quite old... now back to the original thread: Where is the missing man??? (or: Where does that extra man come from?)

The picture colors are meant to be verified and are meant to fool you into thinking they are the same. If you use Photoshop or even if you take a snap shot of the picture or if you open the picture up with a graphic editor and you cut and paste, the 2 colors will appear to match when placed side by side. It's a trick !! After being fooled by photoshop and other methods of testing, I dare you to look back at the original picture! The colors still look different, see?

Turias, collect your cash fast while we still sound convincing!!

I just checked with Apple DigitalColor Meter and they indeed are the same.

chop it up in photoshop or other image editor and put the blocks next to each other. I don't know whats going on, but its a bit weird.

Obviously some mix of shadows etc possibly playing with the eyes receptors or the way the information is processed before we get to see it.

Okay, unless there's a "word" trick w/ the color A & B, the BLOCK that A is on and the BLOCK that B is on certainly are diff. colors. The LETTER A is the same color as BLOCK B...is this what they meant?

the block colors are the same. you can verify these yourself by erasing everything else.

as for original 12 or 13 men pic: it's mix n match. 3 heads -> 2 heads, 2 pairs of pants -> 1 pair of pants, etc...

pretty neat effects.
^_^
