I can't view the video.

I call that "missing the point", but you've practically turned around and shot the wall oppisite the damn thing!

The point was to have them focus on something irrelevant and see if the gorillia would even register to them.

It's basically testing if they can notice it while concentrating on other things.

Just a one track mind... too busy trying to add x+1 to notice.

I try this thing on my friends. Especially on some of my classmates.

Intresting that none misses it here, but that 50% misses on the test they did.

The reporters for the webpage where I found the test didn't notice it either. But they must have been freaking sleeping when they watched the video, as well, seeing as how they managed to count only 14 passes. Only getting to 14 and not getting the gorilla, what could they have been doing while watching?

I didn't notice the Gorilla. I was too into counting to even register him walking on screen. For what it's worth I counted about 32 passes.

Like I said Z, I believe you had to count just the passes of the kids in the white shirts, which would make you concentrate more, and ignore the kids in the black shirts, and the gorilla is wearing black...

You weren't supposed to count the black shirt passes.

It kind of hard when there's a nice message displaying: "Plug-In Not Installed" and then the site doesn't tell me what the hell the plug-in I need is.

Well, the article where I got this didn't say nothing about the kids in the white shirts, but I guess it does make sense, since it'd be harder to spot the gorilla then.

I counted like 23 AND noticed the gorilla. I figured it was a pretty stupid disturbing thing since it interrupted my counting x).

It actually explains why you sometimes don't remember why happend around you while you are doing something.

Like when your in a cinema, I usually focus on the movie. Not the people around me. But then I have the ability to notice odd things without even thinking on it...
