Does anyone remember the movie Butteflies are Free? Well in that movie what's his name (Edward Albert's character) tells what's her name (Goldie Hawn's character) about something he calls "shadow vision." He describes how he can sense things that are there even though he can't see them. That is the first thing this article made me think of. Thanks for the link.
BTW, I am sure Edward Albert is happy I thought of his work, since he hasn't done much since then.

I just tried the game. Am I just dense or what? I didn't see any red dots at all.

I must have seen "Butterflys are Free" three or four times in the movies. It's based on the book, "To Race the Wind" by Harold Krents and Leonarad Gershe wrote the hit Broadway play, Butterflys are Free" with Keir Dullea as the lead. The movie with Edward Albert came out after. I still have the book. Not only was Harold Krents from Scarsdale, NY but his wife was from Fairfield, CT, right next to the town I grew up in.

Wasn't the movie To Race the Wind based on the book by Harold Krents? I had no idea Butterfiles are Free was based on it too. I think To Race the Wind was a made for TV movie with Steve Guttenberg.

You're right, Mouse! I had forgotten about the movie. In the book, there's a nice picture of Harold Krents with Keir Dullea in NYC in front of the marquee for "Butterflys are Free."

Interesting article, Alice. Thanks.
Obsessed, I think if you turn up the contrast and/or other options on the game, you'll see the dots, then turn it back down so it's faint. That's as far as I got with it. Anything else, I don't know.
I could be remembering wrong, but I think Butterflies are Free was loosely based on, or inspired by, Harold Krents. Whereas later, To Race The Wind was based on Krents' autobiography. So one took the character and ran with it, the other stayed on course.

You don't see the dots as red until after the game is completed. The dot is actually a white one on the grey background. You click the mouse where you THINK you saw the dot, and after you've done 20 or so times, you hit the stop button, and it tracks how well you did. The red dots are the ones you said you didn't see at all, and the green dots are the ones you did see, and it tells you whether or not you correctly circled them with the cursor. My score was 94%, which was weird to me, as I didn't see anything on three occasions, but I did hit the ones I did see fairly accurately. Good thing they weren't in the dead center, as thats where I really wouldn't have seen them. Or maybe that's where the 3 were that I didn't see?

I got about 87% the few times I tried the game.

I got about 87% the few times I tried the game. How did you do that? I haven't tried it for a while, but I got a big fat zero most of the time! |

I don't know. I did it about 4 or 5 times and that was the score I tended to get.
