The link takes you to a video where you are asked to count the number of passes made with basketballs by players in white. It takes a while to load the movie and you then need to start it.

No cheating by stopping or re-playing until you follow the directions about your answer. And don't give away the answer on a post so everyone will know in advance.

Well done. You know what? I don't really believe you. But who knows? Maybe you are really gifted viewers.


He doesn't believe me because I roughly calculated the number of passes I saw and just managed to notice a huge.... yeah.... walking through the scene? It wasn't hard at all.
