Imagine you're looking at a row of numbers, like 1234. Sometimes they seem to move or twist on the page, it's like they're dancing! This happens because your brain sees them as shapes and patterns rather than just digits. When we write numbers like 9, they can look like they’re standing up, while 0 looks like a circle. It’s all about how you see things!
Examples
- The number 12 looks like it's leaning forward.
- When you write 69, the 6 seems to turn into the 9.
