Optical-Illusion
An optical illusion is a visually perceived image that is deceptive or misleading.Optical-Illusion
Which horizontal line is longer?
Hold a ruler up to the screen and you will be surprised to discover that the lines are the same length. The illusion is achieved because the overall length of the drawing on the right is longer which fools the eye. Also, the circles in the figure on the left interrupt the line which distracts the eye.

All of these are grand, I have enjoyed Optical-Illusions longer I can remember, keep 'em coming.
I have seen several variations of the same teaser, with different figures around the lines. Good for beginners!
I love Optical Illusions, however, I think this is close to being one of the first ones created. But please do submit some more...I know they are hard to come by.
duh, there the same jk

BORING
Ah...a great classic...did you make that description yourself? I loved it! Great job!
I learned this in Kindergarten
I've seen so many optical illusions that this one didn't really get me... Still loved it though.
Optical illusions are a spectacular thing to behold! One can only imagine the tricks your mind will pull upon yourself. A reasonably sharp way to illustrate your teaser! Keep up the Superb work.
WOW!!!!!!!!! I don't normally fall for this type but this one is really hard!
i've seen this one in different forms lots of times
but my brain STILL doesn't think they're the same!!!!
but my brain STILL doesn't think they're the same!!!!
Tha one on my right seems longer but its not
I have seen one simular to that but i can never seem to see that there the same
THANKS

all of your illusions hurt my brain.
Wow. I will never get that one no matter how many times I've seen it! (4) But it's really fun!
I've seen this before except it was a little different then. The way I saw it, one line had arrows at each end and the other have inverted arrows >-----< . When drawn rather than typed, the one with the inverted arrows appears to be longer, but it is the same length as the other.
I think I like your way better.
Cool NOw i know how to make myself look taller...put on a hat and high heels anddont wear clothes that make me look shorter. cool illusion.
BORING!! I agree that the lines should be put above the answer.
Easy, I could see that, very simple.
Hot dang.
It looks like it is a centimeter longer or so...
iv seen one similare
i cant give this one much love
lol nice....

Hmmmm,amazing,I like this hahaha.
By now, whenever I see "Which is longer/bigger", they always end up being the same size, so I don't enjoy these kinds of opt. illusions.
I've seen it before but it was still good.
Nice!
lol I just love optical illusions...
Very good
i've seen it before but with arrows intead of circles well done
i've seen it before but with arrows intead of circles well done
seen it before, but with backwards and forewards facong arrows.
And because i have no life, i actually figured out why it's an optical illusion.
Why? Because the eye mostly measures the area between the glass.
Yes. Yes it does.

SO..
That's very cool, but unfortunately, my eyes aren't the type to be tricked by optical illusions, so I miss out on the fun. Strange for someone who has glasses........Very nice.
Too easy. Ive seen it 45 million times.

i see where it is the same, it easily concludes that the line is the same length because it goes inside or in depth of the circle, making it appear as if it was not congruent...

Forgot to add, Holo, if you really have seen it 45 million times, LITERALY, your life would have been over a little while back

it was okay i guess
if you want to see this in RED then download the imbecile test on your iphone or ipod4 today!
seen these kinds like a million times, seeing this one makes that 1,000,001 times, AND I STILL ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY LOVE THEM, AND I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY LOVE THIS ONE! (and no, i am NOT, I repeat I am NOT using sarcasm, i'm not good at sarcasm anyway, so attempting to use it would make me look, or should i say, sound dumb.) If you believe me you're awesome!
This is one of my favorite illusions
i told before reading the comment i am awesome
