how the brain processes information

The Movie Geek

I received this e-mail from a co-worker. You can pm me your responses if you want to try this and I'll pm the next part of the instruction so as not to ruin the surprise.

Coworker:I got this note from a scientist friend of mine who uses this short little movie to show his students interesting facts about how the brain processes information. Follow his instructions exactly as he gives them and watch the movie ONCE when you have time (it's only about 20 seconds long but takes a minute or two to load). Get back to me with your count (see below) and then I'll tell you the next step. Enjoy!

Here's his note to me:

The video is superb but is copyrighted. I bought the DVD. It's worth it.

OK, I just found a link to it, but you really have to follow my directions really, really carefully. OK? Otherwise you miss the whole point. It takes a while to download to wait until you see the "play" button and read the following directions VERY CAREFULLY.

Wait till you've read and understood these directions before playing the video. Play the video just one time. The action start immediately, so watch very closely.

You will see a video with some students playing basketball, some are wearing black shirts and some are wearing white shirts. You must very carefully count the number of times a white shirt player passes the ball to another white shirt player. Run the video exactly once and report to me the number of passes to me. I will tell you what to do next.
