Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!
This one drives me nuts. lol. It's a mind-bender. At least for me. Let's see if you can do better, which I'm sure most of you smarty pants can.
Here it is. Very simple right? Just a set of bars lying there. Well, count the bottom ends:
And you get 8 bars, right?
But then count them from the top..
And you get 7. What the?? It gets better though. There are actually just 6 bars!
If you count from the top there are 5 complete bars. The bars you think you see after that are actually disconnected lines, and there really is a gap until the last and 6th bar.
Psychologists tell us that our brains are so determined to make connections and form pictures that they’ll see bars where they don’t exist, just to keep a pattern going. lol.
I just see sets of complete bars so I guess my brain is very stubborn. What do you guys see?
Okay, here's something simple
A Redneck test. Yeah...see this beautiful cliff photo?
Well, if you see a big glass of beer you might just be a Redneck!
Thanks for stopping by folks, God bless you all!

Those are fun. You could take it further. They aren't bars at all. Just a drawing on a flat piece of paper ;)
Howdy sir rossfletcher! lol..that's true. My redneck mind can't think that cleverly so thanks for the idea.
I assume you guys are all locked down out there?
Haha Cowboy, that huge glass of beer was easily to see than figure out the optical illusion of the bars.
Ah ha! Then you might be a redneck! lol...or at least part redneck. My contention is that most of us are!
I’ve got a bit of redneck in me 💃 lol
lol...yay! My kind of people!
Cowboy, were you able to access the new PHC discord?
Howdy today redheadpei! no I haven't even thought of it. lol. I know, I'm not a very loyal member because I'm almost never on discord. I don't have the address but I reckon I could just rejoin under the invitation she sent in that post that you reblogged.
Yes, I see the post with the info is here https://peakd.com/community/@steemitbloggers/new-beginnings-for-me-and-my-phc-community
Baffling, for sure! Whew! I didn't see the beer until you pointed it out. Stay safe and healthy!
Howdy Melinda! Oh you failed the redneck test then! lol...I'm glad you found the optical illusion baffling too!
The bars were tricky for me too, but I saw the beer right away!
Ah ha! A fellow redneck! lol...I knew there was a reason I liked you. lol. Thanks for stopping by blueeyes8960. Hey, are you guys in town and have to be in some type of lockdown?
We're in Illinois and there's a statewide stay-at-home order in place. I live in a small town of 7,000 so it's not really a big problem here (that we know of, at least) but most people are following the program and keeping to themselves. How about you, are you out in the wilderness or surrounded by folk?
I like the idea of a small town alot more than the cities being hit hard! Yes Ma'am we're out in the country but Mrs. J. is a guard at the county jail so she has to go to work.
So far no one in the jail has any virus symptoms thank God!
My youngest son is a guard at a state prison here and they take his temp every day as he goes in. Now they have the inmates on lock down and are confined to their cells. He's in a position where he changes locations every day, so I'm very worried about his exposure.
Howdy today blueyes8960! Oh how interesting, then you know exactly what the concerns are. The first thing they did at the jail was let go anyone who didn't have a serious crime so that helped.
They are almost shut down totally but some of the guards are the biggest problem because they don't care, they think the virus is a hoax so they aren't taking any precautions!
I think they need to start testing anyone who is still working in any type of job since many people can be carriers but never have any symptoms.
Guess I'm in the same boat as you!!!!
Did you see the beer right away sir simms50? lol.
I'll admit I did not!
This is a cool post Jonboy. I've seen that moebius drawing many times, and
stopped struggling to understand it, but
you pointed out something I should have seen
(but I won't give it away)
BTW... I saw the beautiful pic AND the glass of beer @janton
So you are at least part redneck sir Jerry! lol. Probably more than part but I won't tell anyone.
Hey that image you sent is freaking me out! lol. I love watching that crazy thing.
It's the same sort of thing as your disappearing bars image. I called i my "Möbius Marble"
Möbius
An example of a Möbius strip can be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the strip to form a loop.
And now you know!
Howdy sir Jerry! lol..I looked at that link for Mobius and don't understand a word of it. But your explanation makes sense!
I suppose you guys are locked down tight over there?
I spent Waaaaaay tooo much time on the Bars fo-toe.. And In the BARS back in the day....
Did you see disconnected lines? All I can see are bars! I was a boy scout when it came to bars but I think I already told you that. I was in 1, one time. lol. But I didn't drink!
You do realize it was a strip club right.... The bar u was in....??
That is why the ladies had no clothes on....lmao
Fo-Toe is from the Beetlejuice movie when He gets Horny and goes to the strip club... Lol
lol...I don't remember that scene but I saw it ages ago, that's funny!
This comment was 12 hrs ago, you on the road today?
If you hadn't pointed out it was a puzzle I probably would have assumed it was just a picture of bars, likely wouldn't have counted them either. The puzzle wasn't to hard to see as at one time in my life I was a die setter. That's one big glass of beer going on there.
Ah ha! so you are a redneck for sure then sunlit7! lol.
Well dang, that is really cool that you can see the bar puzzle in the right way. I eventually gave up. lol.
