A circle is made up of short lines so therefore a circle can not be perfectly round. Nor are lines perfectly straight.
That shows that you can't trust your eyes! Tahnks for the science in that one!
it looked unround 2 me
Weird. O_o
how can u tel the middle 1 is perfect? cuz i didnt get that 1
That is pretty awesome I don't get how the middle circle is a perfect circle it looks like a little off on a couple of the sides!!!! ^...^
It...did look round at first. I didn't see any distortion.
I like these cause I don't know how they work thanks again
Lil about this one
It kinda looks like the moon, which is ACTUALLY not perfectly spherical, but more like an egg.
Why does this happen?
It works because of the lines spreading out making the edges seem different
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!!!
Good! The eggy circle and the spot in between...didn't quite see the connection.
SUii
It's pretty fun and cool. I would recommend it as a great illusion to show to friends.
