The 2 squares marked A and B are the same shade of grey, but they look like they're 2 different shades. Or supposed to anyways.

I take off my glasses and then I can see "No Sex Causes Bad Eyes." That was good, but fitting.

I had the opposite problem - had too keep my glasses on first couple of times just to see what the feck I was doing.

I just like seeing the little details. Not the most romantic approach, but I still remember that my first true love, Kat, had a birthmark on her... never mind.

Other than the details, I could do the whole thing with my eyes closed; there's something to be said for the sense of touch. :wink:

And, just so I'm still posting on topic:

That last one is pretty cool, but wouldn't it look pretty poor if you were looking at it from anything other than that angle?

Stare at the girl. Is she spinning clockwise or anticlockwise. Now look at the shadow for a moment. If you practice a lot you can make it spin either way around. If you get really good you can make it change direction just by blinking at it.
