How do i turn the plate face down again help

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Pass out and start a new life (/s)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The top right one works for me, once you manage to see any of them as face down, they all flip again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Same, easiest way to flip for me is the notion right of the middle (circular) flips them up, top right flips them down

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Load your last save.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Find the one that’s face down.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That was lazy brain mode, can only do it by becoming lazy brain mode again but you’re thinking about this so now it’s in your subconscious too.

YOU JUST GOT RANCHED UP BROTHER KOWABUNGA

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Stare at the squared one at the bottom right and thing about it as face down. Then you can move to the others and see them face down, but you may need several tries.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 11 months ago (5 children)

I can't see them as face down.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It all looked like pills to me until I read the text. Couldn't even see plates for a while.

Anyway, I noticed that the top right rectangular one doesn't match the perspective when seen as face down. All the other ones are round, so they don't insinuate a perspective at all. That's why that plate is the key.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Shadow says its face up though. There should be a thicker bright line down the side if it was flipped over. The shadow should not have the same depth as all the other dishes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sort of. This plate sticks out because in order to create a shadow and light this way when facing down it would have to be angled in a way that doesn't match with the others when also assuming that they're all placed on the same surface. It only looks right with the others when seen as face up. The trick here is that we normally assume light to come from the top when given no other clues, but this assumption doesn't match with our assumption of placement. The text also suggests the wrong way first.

If the picture had been presented upside down, it might have been difficult to even ee it any other way than the correct one.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Me neither. They were all face up from the get go for me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

They all started as face up to me as well. The one that stood out to me though was the rectangular plate in the top right. That plate looked face down to me which then triggered all the plates to look face down.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have tried some of the "tricks" in the comments and none work for me. Try as I might, I can only see them as face up and nothing else. It doesn't make sense to me that they could ever appear face down because the lighting wouldn't make sense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I got to see them upside down for a moment and it does not look correct. They are actually face up in the picture but it is possible to trick yourself into seeing them as upside down but they don't look like they would if they really were

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I can back and now I can.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 11 months ago

All the plates are face up. Period.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Me too; almost made me jump when it worked so well!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They’re all face-up with the lighting from the right.

If I try to see them as face down they become distorted. The lighting is wrong.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

It almost worked. I first saw medicine pills and then plates

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

All I see is a pile of various allergy pills

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hypothesis: they are really all face up, but if you read about them being face down before paying attention to the picture your brain turns them face down until one of them triggers the correct position.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My brain must be stupid cuz I looked at the picture first and they looked face down :/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

No, it's just that there is no reference, so it is perfectly possible to see them facing down in the first place before reading.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

They were always face up?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Finally! This is the first time this illusion worked for me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

No joke, same here. The middle was face down then I saw a cup and it all flipped

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't even understand what i am looking at

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

It's a badly JPG'd picture of segmented dishes, but the description says they're face down... which is wrong, given the way the light hits them. This is just a bad post.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I can't see any of them as face up.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I think it's the shadow cast onto the largest round plate by the lower divided round plate

Without that shadow, the plates could be face-down and illuminated from the left, but the shadow would only exist if the light source is on the right, so it snaps everything to conform to that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

For me it was a bottom small one that snapped them to right-way-up. With practice and effort I can flip them upside down again, and confirm that I don't struggle seeing the big one as upside down, but still struggle with some of the bottom ones.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

I can flip them back and forth at will, I think I finally found my super power!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I think this is a reminder to not trust our mind in any way
