    It's funny how selective a brain can be. I was shown the second one in a psychology lecture. Sure had me fooled.

    Haha, I've seen the first one before and I always get the correct nuber of passes + what happens in the background. The same with the second video. Guess I'm just really aware then :)

    first one got passes right, didn't saw the bear though.
    Second one, video was pretty hard to see, but was pretty close on passes, and saw the mbrella girl to, once you've seen it one, you know the trick, or atleast, i won't get fooled by the same thing within 2 min :p

    The bear one is WAY better. I didnt even see it. I even went back to the beginning to make sure they weren't pulling my leg and added the bear in the replay at the end.

    The unbrella one was easier to spot her. She was wearing black and hey asked you to focus on black.

    It actually depends on which one you see first. If you looked at the bear one first, then you know that you're looking for something out of the ordinary in the umbrella one.
    I was shown the umbrella one at uni, and out of about 200 people, only 10 people put their hands up when asked if they spotted the woman with the umbrella.
    This was actually made in 1983 for an experiment, and the bear one was used in a commercial. But the bear one is more entertaining :)

    :) very nice, I managed to count the number of passes in the first one but I didn't notice the bear at all! when it showed you the second time I laughed so hard that I didn't notice it, thanks for sharing this.
