Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Apr 14, 2014)

Niceties Port



Welcome! My desk can be called the NICETIES PORT,

I know who comes and goes; I have ENTIRE OPTICS.



I often serve another role, not as a TIE INSPECTOR,

But as one who writes memos and NOTICES TRIPE.



My notes are complete, not just TOPIC ENTRIES,

I'm often asked for details and to RECITE POINTS.



Photocopier problems? I can help with TINT, RECOPIES,

I track expenses, I am who you bring RECEIPTS IN TO.



Who am I?





Check Braingle.com for the answer.

Pulsating Dot Optical Illusion

This is Sunday, so I highly suggest you all make sure to take advantage of your last day off of work. The weather is still great outside, so I would suggest you all go out and enjoy it while you can. I know that’s what I’m going to do in just a little bit.


The new optical illusion I’m going to post up today comes way of classic optical illusionist, Gianni Sarcone. If you have noticed, you’ll find a ton of his material on the site, because he’s amazing at what he does and I am a huge fan of him. If you’re into optical illusions, you’re probably a big fan of his, as well.


This illusion I have dubbed as the “pulsating dot optical illusion.” Simply looking at the image will make it seem as if it’s pulsating. Also, the illusion looks somewhat like an eyeball, which is really cool. Scroll down now to check it out:





Pulsating Dot Optical Illusion



So, what did you see? The amazing thing about Gianni’s work is that he leaves a lot of it up to interpretation. Therefore, different people will see different things. Leave your comment below to let us know what you see.


Want to see the best optical illusion ever? Go here.

Brain Teaser 4/13/2014

When Maria went to get a passport, she had to give her real date of birth, but under all other circumstances she refused. When somebody asked how old she was, she said she was twenty-one, mentally omitting all Sundays. Sundays she didn't work, so naturally she didn't get any older. How old was Maria really?
