[1] In the closing credits of qua Teen Hunger Force, a voice repeats, "Dancing is forbidden" which many, myself included, also hear as "Finger puppet." Here's a brief discussion of it:
(I can't get rid of the large empty space above this in the OP)
Here's another such discussion: how do the aqua teen hunger force lyrics go???
And here is the sound track:
If you can't hear both of these, and many cannot, you might not know what the problem is or why these discussions occur. But as I listen to that video above, I mostly hear dancing is forbidden, but sometimes I hear finger puppet
[2] Yanny or Laurel - Wikipedia
Here's another audio illusion:
"Yanny or Laurel is an auditory illusion that became popular in May 2018, in which a short audio recording of speech can be heard as one of two words.[1] 53 percent of over 500,000 respondents to a Twitter poll reported hearing a man saying the word "Laurel", while 47 percent of people reported hearing a voice saying the name "Yanny".[2] Analysis of the sound frequencies has confirmed that both sets of sounds are present in the mixed recording,[3] but some users focus on the higher-frequency sounds in "Yanny" and cannot seem to hear the lower sounds of the word "Laurel". When the audio clip is slowed to lower frequencies, the word "Yanny" is heard by more listeners, while faster playback loudens "Laurel".
There's an audio link in the link above. I only hear Laurel.
[3] The dress - Wikipedia.
This one's visual:
"The dress was a 2015 online viral phenomenon centred on a photograph of a dress. Viewers disagreed on whether the dress was blue and black, or white and gold. The phenomenon revealed differences in human colour perception and became the subject of scientific investigations into neuroscience and vision science."
The link contains the picture. I see gold and periwinkle - not a choice offered.
How about a number [4]?
I was thinking about these recently when discussing another audio illusion here and decided to revive them in one post for those unfamiliar and for nostalgia's sake for those who recall them.
If you want to look into this fourth matter, slow the playback to 50% by clicking on the gear icon, select playback speed, and change 1 to 0.5 (and then to .25). I can still hear what sounds like seven but followed by an x sound before teen. Nobody else seems to hear that including a gal I know with a non-musician's career in the music business, so I've decided I'm probably wrong about hearing seven sung, yet that's what I hear now.
Here was her email reply to me: "It sounds like Robert Plant is saying “ sixteen” to me. I was pretty close to him on tour with Def Leppard in Denver and it sounded that way to me when sung live. It was released on 1969, different times then eh?"

Feedback is solicited on all of these. Can you hear or see both in each case, or just one, and f just one, which one?
