I can't overlap the images to save my life - they get like halfway there and that's it...
Don’t CROSS them. Relax them, like you’re tired and can’t focus on a computer screen.

Re: I've acquired a new superpower
#152I tried crossing my eyes, but it’s not working for me; I keep seeing things blurry. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. However, I solved the first two puzzles. For the last one, I just guessed randomly. My guess wasn’t exactly correct, but it was close, just a little distance away.

You dont 'tell' your eyes to cross, you just look closer or further away. Try looking at the image at normal distance, whilst imaginging that you are looking into the distance at a beautiful view or at the horizon on an ocean. It is this difference in distance focusing which causes the illusion.
Well actually, I've been telling my eyes to cross since I was a child. I can't describe it, it's like tensing a muscle in the eyes or something and you can control the angle with the tension.

Actually, given enough practice, you can literally just get your eyes to do it. I started doing magic eye puzzles as a kid and loved it, so just eventually learned how to control my eyes in that way. Even today, if I see any repeating pattern, or even anything vaguely similarly shaped, I can’t help but do it

#158At a local bar they had a game machine, and if you got a high score on any of the games, your tab for the evening was free. One of the games was a "spot the differences" between two pictures with an ever decreasing timer for each round. Using this trick I was able to easily surpass the high score, and garner a crowd watching me perform this mind numbing feat. Probably my peak fame right there.

#160After a short period of training, I got to the point where I can see the third image which I can focus on. However, the differences are very subtile and don't stick out at all :/
