Optical Illusions - Impossible dice triangle

Impossible dice triangle
Category: Impossible Objects | Added: May 25, 2009

This take on the classic "impossible triangle" or "Penrose triangle" illusion uses dice to create the appearance of an object that is fundamentally impossible in ordinary Euclidean space.

Image Credit:

First devised by mathematician Roger Penrose this illusion is created from several separate parts that when viewed from a certain location produce the appearance of the triangle.

This is not photoshopped. It is actually a Z sort of shape that has been taken a picture of from a specific angle. I tried it at home and it works. I did it with lego though.
