Keith Vetter : 2006-08-28 : Here's a visual puzzle: count the number of children in the picture then slide the scale to the other side to swap the top halves. Now how many children are there?
uniquename 2013aug17
Here is a sequence of 3 images showing why ligaments in brains are being sprained.
The first image shows the picture of children as they appear when the GUI first comes up.
You can switch the top-left portion of the picture with the top-right by sliding the 'scale' button from left to right --- as indicated by the second image.
The completed switch is shown in the 3rd image.
For those interested in the programming to move these images around, note that the 'WhereTo' proc, in the code below, is being used to move images 'vc1' and 'vc2'.

AMG: Arrgh, I sprained a ligament in my brain!
HJG Added a checkbutton to show hints.
AMG: Even with the hints turned on, I
still don't understand how this can be possible!
Stu 2008-11-11 Commented-out code that causes
expected integer but got "bold" error on *nix systems.
HJG 2016-01-31: I found some links about the origin of this kind of puzzle (as well as other nice puzzles), with history, and more amazing 'vanishing' pictures:
- johnrausch.com
- Vanishing Leprechaun, Vanishing Egg, Doggie Doo
- archimedes-lab.org - Vanish Puzzles
- Japanese Birds, Banker nightmare, Steam train, Disappearing Egg
- theguardian.com - Vanishing Leprechaun
- Vanishing Leprechaun, Magic Egg Puzzle (1880), La Mystérieuse (1907),
- pin-up girls, Color-changing satellites, Swedish gnomes / apes, blue&red pens,
