Answer to mind teaser # 5, Mind Illusions Part 1

Answer to mind teaser #5

Up for grabs.

How do I answer mind illusions?

You can’t answer mind illusions. They are designed to tease your mind and distort your perception. Optical illusions rely on your eyes to tease you mind. There are two types of optical illusions. One of these has two ways of looking at the same picture, the other has a way of making the impossible look possible, although your mind does get tricked. The former is more common as it is used to show you that there is more than one way of looking at a picture. The latter is usually used to show how the mind can be easily fooled by the senses. They are sometimes called Esher Illusions, after MC Esher, the man who popularised them with his works. This week, we will feature an optical illusion known as Blivet (aka, the impossible trident illusion)
