powers of observation test

[Samuel2003]

I've had a video clip saved in my files that I've been meaning to share - unfortunately, it's around 12 megs - too large to upload and too large to email. I found a website that has it but it's a Java applet - hopefully your computer is configured so that you can watch it.

In the video clip, you'll see 2 three-man basketball teams - one "White" and one "Black". Each team has a basketball that they will be passing from player to player. Your job is to count ONLY the passes made by the members of the "White" team. (Bonus points if you also know how many times their basketball hits the ground during the video)

Once the video has finished loading, you can press the green arrow button to play. Once it's done, if you want to watch it again, you can slide the grey dot (it will turn green when you put your cursor on top of it) back to the beginning and press play again. Watch it as many times as necessary to confirm your answer(s).

For those of you who have taken this test before, please refrain from supplying the correct answer(s)...

I say 15 passes, because I counted them, and because it's in the url of the movie link . I never even noticed the you know what until watching it several times to confirm my answer.
