Hot Plate

I’ve been wanting to do something different than puzzles and boxes on the scrollsaw and saw this picture on the internet. Of course there were many holes to drill before I started scrolling. I stopped counting after 50 drills.

Jacob Barnett is a child prodigy from Indiana who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. At only the age of 3, he explained why the moons around Mars are not round. Jacob Barnett is good at physics and has been able to do so since a young age, having completed all high school math by the age of 10, working on his Master’s in quantum physics by the age of 13, and being accepted into Canada’s Perimeter Institute For Theoretical Physics by the age of 15. Here he is giving a TED Talk at the age of 14, telling the audience they should “stop learning and start thinking.”

Let’s Go For an Impossible Bike Ride!

Ladies on Bicycles optical illusion

It’s a beautiful day for a bike ride, don’t you think? Apparently, these ladies thought so too, and they set out for a bike ride near the beach…

Ladies on Bicycles optical illusion

But, we are an optical illusion website, and I didn’t post this just to spread the word about how bike rides are a fun way to stay in shape. As always, there’s something a little off about this picture.

I’ll give you a moment to ponder this bike optical illusions before I go spewing hints…

Do you see it yet? If not, no worries! I didn’t spot it for a while either!




Here are a few hints to help you out:

  • There’s nothing hidden in the trees.
  • The image doesn’t need to be turned upside down.
  • You don’t need to squint or take your glasses off.
  • It has nothing to do with the women at all.
  • It’s on the left side of the picture.
  • It’s a bike optical illusion.

See the bike optical illusion yet? Need even more help? How about I just tell you…

screenshot-imgflip.com 2015-05-12 22-42-37

This bike optical illusion is really an illusion, because there is no bike—at least not one that’s possible in reality. The woman to the far left in the image is steering something, but it isn’t her own bike! If you look closely, you can see that her handlebars are actually connected to the woman’s bike next to her. Look even closer still, and it looks like her leg is also over the other woman’s bike, and it may appear that they’re actually riding a tandem bike. However, because they’re actually positioned next to each other, this is one impossible bike ride and a fun bike optical illusion!

I’m not sure if this image was originally meant to be a bike optical illusion or not, but it definitely blew my mind a little. I would like to know where they’re heading though. Maybe they’re going to the impossible building or the impossible courthouse.
