Can You Spot the Faker?


I found this on a friend's blog and thought you would enjoy a little mind bending. You get to look at 20 Brits (yes, brace yourself for a lot of interesting dental pics) to try and decide if their smile is genuine or fake. You push a "play" button for each Brit, which then shows the smile coming on and then gone. You only get to see it once, though, so don't blink much.

I will tell you that I totally tanked the test only getting 12/20 right. Perhaps you are more savvy! Let me know how you did. Especially if you did worse. That would make me feel better.

I took it and did even worse than you - I only got 8 correct! But then I read the summary at the end about what to look for, and being the perfectionist that I am, re-took it and got 19 out of 20 correct! So don't try to fake any smiles around me...

Well I got 14 correct, which is still a failing grade! I'll just live in my own little world, believing people are genuinely smiling at me when they really aren't.

This is a great site... I loved putting the body parts together. I did pretty well once I figured out what I had to do. Thanks for the site... it was fun to play in... and ya .. well I'm like Lisa... I just believe everyone is real!
