Optical Illusions - Warning! People sensitive to harsh light or prone to headaches should be very careful trying these!

This is one of the most recognized OI. A young woman or an old? I had a very hard time trying to find the old, as my eyes automatically go to the young, but when I found the old I can't amke myself look back at the young! How about you? The young woman is turned so she is looking away from us, with the flowers and ribbons at the back of her head. The old woman is facing us with her head turned to the left so we see her profile. The young girl's choker becomes the old woman's mouth; the young girl's nose becomes a wart on the old woman's nose. The young girl's ear becomes the old woman's eye.

If you keep your eyes moving in a counter-clockwise direction around the circle, it will appear to me moving, even though it is standing still.
The above image can be seen three different ways. 1) A cube with a corner missing. 2) A hollow room with a small cube inside. 3) A large cube with a smaller cube inside it. Which do you see first?

Well, I am DEFINITELY freaking out. And I'll have the whole ride up there to think "drat, only a few more hours." And I won't get a wink of sleep because I'll be frantically going over my main points, etc. Agghhhhhh!

Well, I just can't!!!! I shall try to relax, though, thinking of "The Peace that Passes Understanding..." We used to sing that at VBS. :-) I suppose if God wanted me to be the runner-up of the whole tournament, no amount of worrying will change a thing! *whooo...deep breaths*
