Warped Square?
There are no curved lines in this figure.


Pink Dots?
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink.
However if you stare at the black " + " in the center, the moving dot turns to green.
After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.
Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the center of the picture.


Rotating Rings?
Nothing is rotating in this figure.


Gray Dot Intersections?

So never make a quick decision based on just your observations...
Think of what you saw and what you heard...
Analyze all the facts before you and make a decision.
