| I will make use of the 'autokinetic effect.' If you are put in a completely dark room & then a small spot of light is projected onto a screen, the light will appear to move. | |

 |
 | |  |
| Even though it's completely stationary? | |

| Estimates from 20-30cm and 60-80cm are common. I will but 3 people in a room together. I will put 2 people who's estimate of the light movement alone was very similar & one person who's was different. | |

| You are a genius. Each of the 3 people in the darkened room have to say how much they thought the light had moved. They will do this a number of times. | |
