	Need a little help from people with excellent eyesight Tired of ads?

I'm trying to determine which of the two squares marked A and B respectively is darker. It's a little tricky for me in my old age. So a poll on the matter seems the best solution.

Thanks for helping out a visually impaired guy, God bless.

BTW, if you post here, just tell us what you voted. Please don't go into explaining why...

Are you sure this isn't some sort of optical illusion? (sayeth he, browsing in a text-based browser)

spoiler(highlight to read): A really cool thing to do is to open the image in MSPaint, select a small rectangle in the A square, copy it and paste it. Then you can move the pasted rectangle all along the screen. If you then move it between A and B you'll see how the color of the rectangle changes with every change in it's position.

spoiler(highlight to read): You could just use the dropper tool and compare each of the colours

spoiler(highlight to read): spoiler(highlight to read): spoiler(highlight to read): That's messed up. If you paste a solid line of the color from one square to the other you can see a gradient which doesn't exist.

spoiler(highlight to read): Another strange thing, I've been trying to figure out how they achieved getting the letter B to appear darker than the underlying square. If you look at the square with A on it, it looks so dark that it's mystifying how anything darker could stand out so distinctively as the letter B undeniably does.

spoiler(highlight to read): Another interesting experiment is to see how much of the original picture besides the two squares you have to cut out before the shades start looking identical.

Kassi:

[spoiler] either this, or zooming in, which is basically the same - from my experience, when you lose the general shape of the board, and the green pillar, things start to look the same.

I zoomed in and it still looks the same. Doing the direct conneciton line is great fun though!
