Attention exercise

Follow directions very carefully. This is an exercise to see how well you can focus on something. The following video will show people in white shirts and people in black shirts passing basketballs back and forth. Don't worry, there is no cheap scare or anything like that. Wait until the video fully downloads before watching.

What you need to do is concentrate, and count the number of times that a person wearing a white shirt transfers the ball to another person in a white shirt.

Scroll down when you've finished counting...




















Most people answer 14, or maybe 15, but the question is, was there anything strange about the video?

Watch the video again, but this time, just observe. See if you notice anything strange or interesting.
