How many passes were there??? It's driving me nuts. I counted 15. (I know that's not the point of the experiment, but come on.)

Somehow, though I am by a wide margin the stupidest person on the Board, I saw the gorilla right away and was utterly distracted from my first count and had to back up. Then it took me several minutes to understand that seeing the gorilla is the whole point. So what does that study say about me? Eye for detail, failure to grasp big picture?

Me too!

I didn't bother to turn the volume on during the whole thing. Saw the gorilla wondered what the hell was going on.

Luckily subsequent comments explained the experiment.

Go Laziness!!!!
