I don't believe my eyes!

Look closely at tile A and B. They seem to be different shades of gray. They are actually the same exact shade.

Don't believe it? Try opening up the image in Paint or another image editor and put the 2 tiles side by side.

Lol, that is a good optical illusion. I can see how they could be the same color but the eye has a hard time with it.

An easier explanation for the triangle one is that people expect the shapes to form a perfect triangle, when in fact neither shape is a triangle. Because of the slight variation in the slopes of the red and green triangles, rearranging the shapes will give you two distinct shapes with the same area. We only expect the two shapes to be the same triangle, when in fact, that wouldn't be possible.

Concentrate on the the four vertical dots in the middle of the image below for 30 seconds.

Now, close your eyes and tilt your head back. Keep them closed: You'll see a circle of light. Keep staring at the circle...
