to be honest with you, I misred the thing the first time I looked at it. I have no idea how there is a hole there. Please explain, perhaps via PM?

This one is easy. Her hair is a metaphor for a waterfall. How do I see this? Well it's wet firstly, as is her shirt. Secondly you can see that her head is tilted in such a way so as to appear to be falling straight down as if a waterfall.

TSC,

I remember staring at this for at least an hour before I either finally got it, or someone gave me a hint and it dawned on me. It's pretty neat.

If tyfromm hasn't pm'd you yet, let me know and I will.

There's a waterfall?

Re: Cool Optical Illusion
 

yeah he told me. Pretty damn tricky, not sure how I would have gotten it if he hadn't told me.

Ok. I think I got it. The answer lies in the fact that the two triangles do not have the same slope. The red triangle has a slop of 3/8 = 3.75, while the green triangle has a slope of 2/5 = 4. This difference is farily undetectable neglecting the use of the grid pattern, so most people just assume they are the same. Do I have to explain further for full credit?

Re: Cool Optical Illusion
 

I got the triangle illusion right away but even with Granny's hint I still had to print it and get scissors and cut it out. I still can't believe it.

Re: Cool Optical Illusion
 

I would also like someone to pm me the answer to the triangle one, or at least post the reason in white.

Here is the original thread with several explanations in white text.

And here's another subtle optical illusion:
