Cthulhu D Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Yes, and the gorilla gets in the way and makes it harder to follow the motion of the ball and of course obscures some of the players, so while I guess I accept that some people miss it I just don't undrestand. I've seen pros who are watching a fairly simple scene for the purposes of an observation test fail to notice that two people standing in front of the camera blatantly and without any concealment pass a large package to each other (a cube with each face the size of a vinyl record). It's actually amazing how bad people are at seeing things imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I met a guy once, in a bar, who'd made a hobby out of observing people. We had an interesting conversation for an hour or so. He saw — and remembered — things most people, including me, missed. The other side of the coin, perhaps. B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyck Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Regarding the Twin puzzle, if the mother crosses the international date line after the 1st child is born, you can have the younger twin 1 day older than the elder twin, or even two days older at times if you arrange all this at Feb end.

gwnn Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 The biggest difference I know of is 5 days. It goes something like:Two people are talking. At some point one of them says "the day after tomorrow it is my birthday". A bit later she says "the day before yesterday it was my twin sister's birthday!". I don't remember the specifics but I think it's something like: 1 day: because of a lost day at the end of February.1 day: because the mother was travelling on an airplane/ship crossing the date line1 day: because the speakers were also travelling on an airplane/ship crossing the date line1 day: because there was a little time between the two moments The mother was travelling on a ship on the evening of 28 February in a non-leap year. She had a baby at 23:55. The second baby was born on 2 March (15 minutes later). The speakers were travelling on a ship on the evening of 29 February in a leap year. "The day after tomorrow" was March 2, however after a few minutes the date was actually March 2 and the day before yesterday was February 29. Hmmm I confused myself again. Anyway, one could envision the speakers and/or the mother living on a spaceship travelling near the speed of light, in that case the possibilities are endless.
