  • "you probably heard bar bar bar" Me with my 80year old ears: par par par

  • I only saw the circle flash once, with or without the sound. Anyone else?

    me: hears two beats so it flashed twice my brain: Somethings wrong here I can feel it...
  • @AnneGcovers
    did anyone get really anxious, like your heart just started speeding up, when that crescendo sound started playing from 2:45? like you're just waiting for the beat to drop but you don't know when? i guess that's why EDM gets people so pumped up :0

    The tritone paradox also works with your car. When you turn on your turn signal, you get the clock clock of different tones. Even cooler, you can decide which one you hear. In the video, play the clip over again and tell yourself to hear what you didn't last time. Cool

    It’s different audio, when he was saying “far” his teeth were going over his lips but when he said “bar” his lips were touching
  • @klinsstudio4492

    To all those facing problem with the second one, the one with the circles, Did you all even understand it. I didn't at first and then I started researching. The circle does flash twice and you are supposed to see it twice with that 'poik' sound in both flashes. Next it was played 'poik' at only one circle and the other did apear but it was supposed to trick you that only one circle appeared since the second one did not appear with sound. Since his circle was too big on the screen and the flash speed was too slow we all could see both circles in both rounds. Also the colour and the pitch of that 'poik' sound was too high to make this work. Hope this helps you.
