I didn't believe it the first time through, I had to go back and watch again! hahaha

Haha! I have seen something that was almost the same thing before. Watch this one. It seems like there is more going on in this one. I missed it in this one the first time, but totally saw the ape in the posted video. Maybe it was because I knew what was going to happen though.

thats pretty cool, i never would have thought that that many people would miss something like that when concentrating.

30 ball passes and a gorilla

TexasT · 06-03-2008, 10:07 PM

I only counted 18 with the white shirts and a gorilla.

bellx1 · 06-03-2008, 10:16 PM

i counted 31 ball passes, and the ape

cubbieman · 06-03-2008, 10:22 PM

I counted 17.5 ball passes(the video stopped in the middle of the 18th) and was watching the ball, so i missed the gorilla. it's basic sports to keep your eye on the ball

They used this in one of our CRM classes. My attention span is sometimes short and my laziness sometimes gets the better of me--guess that's why I always gave up early and saw the Gorilla.

17, almost 18, and how could you miss the gorilla? Frankly, he wandered right into the sightline I was using to track the passes. Also, the white shirts passing in front of the entirely dark gorilla suit sort of draws the eye.

I dunno, maybe it's because I've become deeply familiar with a gorilla suit for the past 2 years each October.

Damn, sweltering hell of a gorilla suit.
