Since I work at a large University and know that many college students drop by this blog I thought I would include this current selection of apartment and dorm room favorites. Although these are not optical illusions any poster purchased through this page will support this Gallery of Optical Illusions.

Optical Illusion Sites
Optical Illusions & Visual Phenomena - an amazing illusion site put together by Michael Bach with explanations and interactive displays.
Amazing Optical Illusion Books- Give illusions as gifts, these books will amaze your friends and supply wonder and amazement to your children.
Visual Illusion of the Month- Amos Storkey's excellent page of unique illusions. He says, "The aim of this page is to provide visual and optical illusions which I think are not the sort that are seen in 101 books etc on illusions."
Archimedes' Laboratory - The visual illusions featured on this page are created by Gianni A. Sarcone and Marie-Jo Waeber. The illusions that the authors offer are, for the greater part, products of their own imagination, sometimes discovered by chance and in other cases they deliberately set out to discover new ways to view existing optical illusions and present them under a new light.
Optical Illusions 4 Kids - a kid safe zone with optical illusions for kids of all ages. Challenge your skills of perception. Is what you see, what you get? Will you ever be able to trust an eye witness account again? Remember seeing is not always believing.
Akiyoshi's Illusions - This site and the majority of optical illusions presented are the creation of Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka, Department of Psychology, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan.
Sandlot Science - features the world's most mind-boggling optical illusions including games, puzzles, and artwork! 100's of Original Exhibits, Real-time Demonstrations, and Live Interactive Illusions.
Planet Perplex - is a comprehensive collection of optical illusions, impossible objects, hidden images, puzzles and related images.
Eyetricks - Optical illusions, 3D stereograms and anaglyphs, fractals and brain teasers.
Skytopia - An intriguing selection of old, new and exclusive optical illusions.
Many pictures are enhanced via the use of 3D and animation.
Project Lite is a software, curriculum and materials development project located in the Science and Mathematics Education Center at Boston University.
Grand Illusions was originally designed as a way of sharing our enthusiasm for various science based phenomena, fun and games, and optical illusions.
Impossible World - A site devoted exclusively to the study of impossible figures. After gathering a big collection of impossible figures I decided to create a unique website about impossible figures where as much as possible information about impossible figures and impossible art will be published.
Motion Perception - An essential quality that distinguishes all animals from plants is their capacity for voluntary movement. Animals move to find mates, shelter, and something to eat, and to avoid being eaten themselves. But the ability to move brings with it the requirement to sense movement ...
NIEHS Optical Illusions - A set of optical illusions presented by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Puzzles.com -- Illusions - Special artwork, different patterns and pattern devices which show the complexity of the way your eyes works.
Perceptual Science Group - the Perceptual Science Group of the MIT Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT does research in human visual perception, machine vision, and image processing.
Museum of Unworkable Devices - This museum is a celebration of fascinating devices that don't work. It houses diverse examples of the perverse genius of inventors who refused to let their thinking be intimidated by the laws of nature, remaining optimistic in the face of repeated failures.

Missing Hole Triangle Answer
This answer borrowed from The Scientific Psychic.
READ MORE - Missing Hole Triangle Answer
The area of a right triangle is computed by multiplying the base times the height and dividing by two. The pieces of the puzzle have an area of 32 square units. Although they can be assembled to form what appears to be a 13×5 right triangle, they actually form quadrilaterals that are slightly smaller or slightly bigger than a 13×5 right triangle.
The top figure has an area of 32 square units. The bottom figure, including the empty square, has an area of 33 square units. A real 13×5 right triangle would have an area of 32.5 square units. The distortion is difficult to see because one square of the picture is approximately 3% of the area.
The distortion can be seen more clearly when the empty square constitutes a larger percentage of the area, as in the figure below where 1 square represents 13% of the area.

Pass the Ball
This is a two post illusion if you didn't read the first post go there now.
How many times was the ball passed? The answer to that can wait. Without looking again, what else did you see in the movie?
How many elevators were there?
What was the graffiti on the wall.?
Did you see any animal or animals pass through the scene? Maybe a kangaroo, a horse or a gorilla?
If you can't remember what animal passed through the set go back and watch it again, this time don't worry about the basketball. Once you figure it out don't tell your friends and spoil it.
Still wondering how many times the ball was passed or what animal did an Alfred Hitchcock cameo through the movie? Check out the comment section below.
Other stimuli from their studies of change blindness and inattentional blindness can be viewed at Visual Cognition Lab at the University of Illinois.
