October 2011: Forgetting Things in Math Class

This is my attempt to demonstrate to my math class the concept of "inattentional blindness," in which people don't see what they're not paying attention to. However, it didn't work too well, since most of the class did see the things I thought they wouldn't. I was hoping they would forget the number, the color of shirt I was wearing and not see the pumpkin.

This was from October 31, 2011, in Nature of Math class at Biola University.
