This is from something I was saying in the "Correcting Peoples' Spelling" thread.

Everyone loves optical illusions, so I'm inviting people to post their favourites.

Here's one of mine:

'A' would have more light bouncing from it, as there isn't a shadow on it, like 'B'. I think they weigh the same.

Ok, my bad, the question should have been which square appears lighter?
