I’m pretty sure the one on the left is yanny and the one on the right is laurel. Could be the other way around though.

The creator of this illusion should be credited. His name is Kokichi Sugihara. His paper was published on Symmetry: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-8994/8/4/21

This particular arrow illusion toy is legally licensed to a Japanese publisher (along with other optical illusions by Kokichi Sugihara). For those interested in that book/toy, here’s a link to Amazon Japan: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4487810906/

Is it possible to have these installed in the White House, preferably in close proximity to an exit door and large dumpster?

I’m from Chicago and I pronounce it cran, even though I hear cray-ahn a lot. I have never heard anyone pronounce it crown.

There are people down here that say cray-own, but I usually heard, and now say, cray-ahn. How about “art stick?”
