We've all probably seen/played with this toy.

And when you look at the attached image, note that both tracks are the same size.
Trust me!

That's incredible. I had to check regardless by overlaying a semitransparent copy.

Didn't believe either.

It's the positioning of the two tracks.

Maybe not as dramatic, but, you still get a similar effect when one is place directly above the other.

The placements in the first example, gives a much bigger 'wow'.

Has I said in #6, it's the positioning. Drag the rough red shape in the xar.file over any of the tracks and give it a transparency. They are the same size. Good illusion though Rik.
