This is not a puzzle related post. 🙂 It’s a brain teaser (I used to post brain teasers years ago). I’ve been studying game theory lately and wanted to share one “classic” problem of this discipline with you. See if you can solve it by yourself. Post your solution as comments below this post.

This is not a sudoku puzzle. 🙂 It’s an optical illusion. I think it’s nice to take a break every once in a while and do something different. So… in this optical illusion we have an image of a girl with inverted colors (a “negative” image). What you need to do to make this optical […]
