I was blown away by this experiment. But, be warned - only try this when you have lots of time - you will want to try it out on all of your friends and colleagues!
This is a short, but fascinating two-part test of your perceptual abilities. For the first part, you will be shown a 30-second video of six college students divided into two teams. Three students are wearing white T-shirts, while the other three are wearing black. Each team has a basketball which they are passing to members of their team.
Your task is to count the number of passes made by the team wearing white T-shirts. Click the first link below to watch the video and then return here for part two.
Note: One gender has proven to be more perceptive. Which do you think it is?
Once you have the number of passes, click the second link for the answer.

I think the perceptual test is a brilliant way of illustrating to me that I won't always believe everything I see!
It's visual perception, subliminal perception all together.
