I am shocked to say I didn't spot it even after a few replays, when I watched the answer part I was not amused, suppose it proves a point

EDIT: WOW talk about being blind, I only thought there was the one test until I saw all your comments hahah :p I spotted the other 2 but you kinda know what to expect, still doesn't register automatically though

yea i got it first time, but it doesnt really let you take in enough information as it flicks through the scenes... i dunno if thats the whole point though.
 
They've deliberately used a driving scenario there so I'd be worried if I had noticed it. I was looking at the traffic ect rather than the freaking grass.
 
I usually notice changes on my regular routes but it never flickers like the test videos like i'm having an epileptic fit or something :p
 
Spotted it, usually things like that are less obvious.

Edit: Ah like the later ones that I didn't get. Whoops, should read the whole thing first. :o

Its not really testing how well you can see change, its testing how fast you can memorise a picture and compare it with a new one.

If there was no grey interval, your eyes would pick out the change after only 1 or 2 switches...
 
What a load of crap. Next time I'm stood waiting for a bus and the front window is 1% darker than yesterday I'll be sure to notice...
 
I didn't see the changes in the second and third, but saw the first one right away.

It was all to do with colour too.. and I'm pretty colour blind, so I think this test is a little flawed.
