Pencils illusion
Category: Shape and Color | Added: February 28, 2013
Here we have a simple optical illusion image of a row of blue artist pencils. As you can see these pencils have eraser ends and the points have been sharpened ready for use. If you count the sharpened points you will see there are seven, but if you count the eraser ends you will see there are only six. So how many pencils in total do you think there are in this picture? Would you say six or seven?

the answer is DIFFICULT Because you cant relly know if its 6 or 7 because the eraser doesnt go with the tip and the pencil doesnt go with the eraser

on the first pencil if you look closely, it is connected to the second pencil with sharing an eraser.

actually there are only 6 because the colour is same and some are thinking that it is not matching with each other.

Look at the first pencil. It blends into the second, so it does not have an eraser.

There are actually 13 pencils. if you look at the eraser and go up they blend into white. if you look at the led side they go down and blend into white. this means that there are 13 pencils.
