In this illusion, squares A & B are the same shade of grey.
If you don't believe it, save the image and open it in Corel PhotoPaint, use the eye dropper tool to capture color A then with the paint brush tool Color in square B .... I did! Its the same!

My mind wanders. And that's not a good thing, 'cause it's too small to be out there alone. Posts: 3129 | From: Tooele, UT | Registered: Mar 2005

Dave, I got into looking at these things a while back and Googled out a WHOLE bunch of them... Cool thread, I love those crazy things. I'll have to look and see if I have any you haven't posted.
Stephen, I like a lot of M.C. Escher's work.... BUT.. I have always wondered what the big deal is with the Ants illustration... that is not an impossible object, you can take a ring of paper, twist one end 180 degrees... tape it to the other end and you have that exact same object....
I just never thought that a Moebious ring was all that complicated, guess I'm either too smart or too dumb to be puzzled by it.

...if you have any doubt of which, check "mobius strip" in Wikipedia... after looking at that page, I didn't feel all that smart
One interesting thing I learned there is to make another 1" x 11" strip (I actually made one, and cut it in half to refresh my memory before posting above) and on this new one (which I also tested out first) you don't cut it to one half inch, you cut it to 1/3" and 2/3" sections. The result is not what you would expect.

Doug, there was never a question in my mind which it was, I was just giving Stephen ammunition, and baiting him a little as well, to see what he'd reply about the Moebius.. hehe.
The mathematical equation representing it's geometric shape is complicated... but then again, so are other equations for a lot of other weird shapes. I remember making and cutting them in high school when studying geometry. Cutting it in half had a fairly predictable result the way I remember.
I couldn't remember what happens if you cut it 1/3 of the way in so I made one and tried it, and it did produce an unexpected result. About there is where I begin to blow fuses.... please explain it to me.. hehe.
