That is indeed freaky. How do you know anything is real?

Really really good one, Lesman!! If you look very closely at the lower triangle, the area underneath the diagonal line is just slightly more than the upper one. Look where the dark green, gold and red sections meet on the upper triangle and compare carefully to the corresponding spot on the lower one. However, I am not sure why! Is the diagonal line slightly bowed?

Wreck, you are correct, sir! a quick search on Google provided the following explanation of the illusion.

sailtl, your probably right as well, but could not find that answer on Google.
