How Many People Are There In This Picture?

(Be patient and the animation will start)

This picture is an animated gif with 63 separate frames to provide the apparent motion. I received this image in a many-times-forwarded e-mail. If the original artist wishes to claim copyright privileges I will be happy to either credit him/her or to remove this page.

Here is a pdf file which contains copies of the initial and final positions of the graphic, together with separate images of the bottom and two top sections.

Print and cut out the partial pieces and put them together for yourself. How did the artist accomplish this feat? (Children, and the curious of all ages, may enjoy doing this.)

Click here to download the pdf file of the pieces of this image.

Print with no scaling or multiple pages per sheet in Adobe Reader. If you don't already have Adobe Reader, you can download it here.
