Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2007 5:14 pm Post subject: Count the Passes |
|
|
This is a well known visual perception experiment. Viewers are asked to monitor three basketball players in white T-shirts and count the number of times they pass the ball during a video clip. Do not be distracted by the players in black T-shirts, and be sure to count bounce passes as well as regular passes. How many passes did the white team make?
Post you answer before watching it a second time (you can post a new count each time you watch if you like).

The correct answer is:
Quote: | Most people say about 14 or 15 passes, and about 50% completely miss the gorilla - which is the real point of the experiment; to demonstrate inattentional blindness.

Yes, I saw him the first time, barely.
And I didn't count same person dribbles as passes. |
