Perception Test: Mysterious Workings of the Brain

Found via Open Thinking & Digital Pedagogy.

Before you watch the 20 second long video, pay attention to these instructions quoted from the original post by Alec Couros:

1) The video lasts only about 20 seconds.
2) It is CRITICAL that you focus completely for the twenty seconds to get an accurate result.
3) The objective is to COUNT HOW MANY TIMES THE BALL IS PASSED BETWEEN THE PLAYERS IN WHITE SHIRTS.
4) This can be tricky since the players in black are only there to distract you.
6) Do NOT count the number of times the ball is passed between the players in black.
7) In other words, IGNORE the people in black shirts.

I’m withholding any commentary since I don’t want to spoil it!
