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.

I saw the gorilla. The instructions were to count the passes the people int he white t-shirts made. There were no instructions about the gorilla.
