Some may have received this email or seen a version of it before. When it showed up in my inbox today I decided to take the test. I consider myself observant so when I got the answer wrong it made me wonder how closely do I look at photographs when I vote.
Preschoolers all over the United States were shown this picture and asked the same question.
90% of the preschoolers gave the correct answer.
So here is the photograph and question. What say you?
Which way is the bus below traveling?
To the left or to the right?
Can't make up your mind?
Look carefully at the picture again.
Still don't know?
If you have seen this before you can give your answer but don't tell others why. Lets see how many get it right or wrong.
that is the worst drawn bus i've ever seen in my entire life. it's more like a spaceship dropping circles of death on us poor, unsuspecting earthlings. it's not moving left or right because it's hovering in place.
now, someone photoshop godzilla driving the silly thing and let's be done with it.
edited to add:
i drew it to match the quality of the bus drawing... actually, it was the best i could do with a touch pad and my severe lack of artistic ability.
Jejeje, depends on which country you're in, doesn't it?
R.
Your right Robert, it does depend on the country. That's why I emphasized 'United States'.

My answer in when I viewed the question was "forward" (lol). Knowing that was not one of the two answers to choose from. Being honest I didn't think about look for the door as a way of determining the direction of travel. And that's what made me think - do I take the proper amount of time when viewing a photograph I vote on.
Thank goodness people quit entering bus pictures at DPC! :)
hahaha.
I was about to post:
While it's an amusing puzzle, the number of photographs that rely on THIS kind problem solving observation are very, very, very few in any given challenge, if there would be any at all.
Observation doesn't have to be keen or deep in order to evoke a reaction, and really, that's all challenges are for, reactions.
