ok, my buddy sent this to me and I haven't been able to figure it out yet so I thought I would use the collective genious that is PPOT for help.
(I'm sure this is old as I am usually 2 years behind on getting things like this.)

count the men. Then wait for them to change and count them again.

Where does the extra man come from?

or try this link if pic doesn't show.

repost the picture, its not coming up?

Man...I've been staring at that little red "x" for nearly an hour and still can't figure it out.:eek:

0...waited...0 again. What do I win?

You're not trying hard enough...took me 4 hours of staring before I "got it"...

If X marks the number, then 10. Is this a trick question?

Maybe it is...I'm looking at "X", "squared" thus 100 is my answer :)

not sure how to fix it. When I look at the thread I see the pic that was emailed to me. I'll have to work on it later. Sorry.

ok try now

notta

OK its working now....... thanks.

I took a few still pics and looked at them. Now I see it.

Notice the guy on the lower left. In one version, he is not whole. The top of his head is missing. In the other version, everyone is whole. So you don't have 12 in one version and 13 in the other, you have 12 in one and 12-1/2 in the other.

I'm getting there, but I'm being called for dinner now.

Everybody is a little bit shorter. something like this.

changed eight columns of circles into nine columns. If the columns were random lengths and positions the shift would be less obvious.

that didn't format right.

In this picture the botoom half is shifed to the right to make four boxes into five.

I cut the original picture into three pieces, so that I could move them around and move one of the top pieces away and saw exactly what you pictured.
