Illusions

Java Puzzlers is not only filled with great puzzles, it has lots of great illusions too! For example, the following image is based on Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka's rotating snakes. It is NOT animated. It looks this way in print too! A color version of this drawing appears in Kitaoka's Trick Eyes. Come back to this page soon for more illusions, including some that are animated.
