What is a "board café"? I'm British and have been to Bristol yet it is a term I don't know. -- SGBailey 22:06 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)

It was there from the first creation of this page which was apparently translated by computer, so I guess it's mis-translated. Mintguy 22:17 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)

  • You were seeing things, it just says café.

I've lost an article. I was reading about the cafe wall illusion, went away to knock up a quick picture of the effect, and have now lost the article. I can't find it with a search, or from the optical illusion article, or even in the deletion log. It mentioned why it is called the "café wall illusion" and who first discovered it - that's all I remember. Possibly it doesn't exist and I am just going crazy (er). Any help appreciated -- sannse 19:50 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Café wall illusion Don't suppose it was this one..? Seems most likely (apart from one minor detail about the article), out of all articles containing "wall", "illusion" and either "cafe" or "café", returned by google on Wikipædia... كسيپ Cyp 20:08 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)
No, it was an English article. Oh well, thanks for looking - I must have imagined it -- sannse 20:21 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)
In any case, it's in English now, since I tested my translation program on the French version. كسيپ Cyp 20:23 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)

The Cafe mentioned is currently (2004) called the "Roxy" and lies at the foot of St Michael's Hill on the corner with Perry Rd. The illusion is composed of yellow-cream and green tiles.

[edit] Why does it work?

Does anyone know why this illusion is so effective? Perhaps that would be a good thing to add to the article. N Shar 02:14, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
