Optical Illusion
http://eyetricks.com/0101.htm
In this optical illusion there is one big square made up of smaller, black cubes that are separated by gray lines. At each point where the gray lines intersect, there are small dots. The dots appear to be a mix of both black and white, but when you try to count the white dots, they turn black, and when you try to count the black dots, they turn white. Everytime you look at a dot, it changes its color.
There were a lot of really cool optical illusions on this website, but I like this one the best because i can't find a way to explain it. How is it possible that the dots change colors when you try to focus on them? I have no idea.
There is one more optical illusion that I really like on this website. The URL for this one is: http://eyetricks.com/0601.htm When I first looked at this one, I saw the letter E standing off the page, but if you try to focus your eyes a different way, the E dissapears and all you can see is three crooked, black lines.

I like this one too. It's not particularly colorful or complex but I also don't know how to explain it.
