A diagram on a piece of paper. 21 grey boxes are placed inside a larger box's outline. They are all rotated at different angles. Text above reads: 'This is the mathematically optimal way to package 21 equally sized boxes inside of a larger box - minimising the space taken up as much as possible.'

𓃰 Book pre-orders end... on the 7th of March. An extra week! It's nice to have more time. crazyopticalillusions.net

Ah, I was referring to if you were using Visa or Mastercard for example. Please don't post your long bank number on Bluesky! I will message you now.

Thank you for trying to purchase the book! I just did a test purchase and it seemed to go through fine... can I ask about what types of card you're using, and where you are purchasing from?

A picture of a book, featuring a set of 12 yellow cubes on a page, framed inside a blue border. The cubes are arranged in a square pattern that may or may not be possible in the real world. Text above reads 'The Impossible Cubes'. Text below reads 'Can you really arrange a set of cubes in this fashion.' Text at the bottom reads '20', for page 20.

Is it cruel to be like this

An illustration of two characters, stood either side of an indeterminable number of blocks on the floor. Text below asks: 'Can you work out how many blocks there are?'. The left character claims '4' in a speech bubble, while the right character claims '3'.

Can you work out how many blocks there are?

Hello. Pre-orders for our artbook officially close in 10 days, at the end of February. Thank you to everyone who has ordered a copy so far. ♡ 𓃰

Facts about English as a tricky language. Each box has it's own short fact. From top left to bottom right: 'English is the only language where you can drive on driveways. It’s also the only language where you can walk on walkways.' 'Your fingers have fingertips and your toes have toetips. You can ‘tiptoe’ and reach high up objects with your ‘fingertips’.' 'The word Queue is Q followed by four letters.' 'You can be a jailer in prison, but you can’t be a prisoner in jail.' 'When you transport something by car, the ‘car’ ‘go’. but when you transport something by ship, it’s called a shipment.'

English is a strange language.

2004's 'Scary Maze Game' has a notorious jumpscare for players who make it through the narrow section at the end of Level 3.

Could you let me know the resolution of your monitor?

To break character - in 2022, Roger Shepard, pioneering cognitive scientist and creator of many famous illusions, passed away from Parkinson's.

We use a version of his Shepard Elephant as a mascot. In honour of Roger, 10% of profits from our artbook will go to USA + UK Parkinson’s charities. ♡ 𓃰

Illustration of a 'Shepard Elephant', an elephant with an indiscernable number of legs.

How many legs does the elephant have? At first glance, the answer maybe be obvious - but look a little closer, and this fiendish illusion reveals itself. (HD reupload)

I got a shoelace stuck in one of their escalators once. Awful, awful day

I like the worldbuilding. Perhaps I will make an Unreal Engine game demo based off of this idea.

An illustration of a strange-looking staircase. The steps of the staircase appear to lead both up and down at the same time. Text near the bottom left says 'FIG. 14-2'.

Which way does the staircase go? In this famous 'Endless Staircase' optical illusion, it's impossible to tell if the stairs are ascending or descending, leaving the observer thoroughly perplexed.
