I admit that Eutrusca's post reminded me of this riddle I have not solved yet. Could someone explain it to me?
This is what I have so far:
There are 'sets' of people. Initially on the left side there is one 'set' of 3 and one 'set' of 2. On the right side there is a set of 2, another of 3, and a final set of 2. 12 people total.
When the image changes, it somehow adds an extra one to the left side so that there are two sets of 3. The right side has the same amount of people at the end.
How does it add the extra man to the left side whilst keeping the same amount of men on the right??

Whoa...
That's awesome, although I'm not smart enough to figure it out...

That's cool. If you watch it long enough you could probably figure it out, or go blind, or insane. :D

There's one guy that starts out on the left side. He's at the end of the second column from the right. He moves and leaves part of his shoes behind. There's a guy from the left side that fills his shoes, but the guy from the right side is a new figure on the left. 12 to 13.

What's a person?
There's 12 whole people, and then there are 13 figures, but they are not 'whole people' as were the 12...

There's 12 whole people, and then there are 13 figures, but they are not 'whole people' as were the 12...to be more specific, there's something missing from every person in the 13 picture. One is missing hair, one is missing the top of his face, one is missing the bottom of his face, one is missing the top of his shoulders, one is missing his upper torso, one is missing the top of his belly, one is missing the bottom of his belly, one is missing the bottom of his feet, and the other five are missing part of the legs

Hey, do I show my age if I recognise this as a version of theGet Off The Earth (http://www.jimloy.com/puzz/getoff.htm) puzzle dating back to 1896?

Boy, and I thought I was old at 61 years 8 1/2 months, but to recognize something from 1862 you must be really old. :D

I noticed that...the 13th person was a Frankenstein of sorts...

I noticed that...the 13th person was a Frankenstein of sorts...but there's no special 13th person. Everyone in the 13 picture is 6/13 of one of the twelve and 6/13 of another of the twelve
