# help me people
im looking for an image featured on b3ta a really long time ago. its like some kind of optical illusion of colour. it has a grey cylinder casting a shadow on a chessboard type thing and two of the squares are labeled. they are both the same colour but dont look it. i could use this image for a piece of work for uni so if anyone knows where i can find it, it would be much appreciated

# Yup
You can do that with a white and black sheet of card, a hidden light source, and a slightly darkened room.

Freaked our tutorial group out that did.
