Oh, now I get it. That's rather strange.

close your eyes and he says baa the whole time.[/quote]
I did and I still hear him saying Faa. Its not too difficult to distinguish an F and a B sound. Do you ever get Fake and Bake confused? I don't.

For one thing, they say the only sound you hear is Baa, but he only does that sound in one of the clips, in the other, I can actually hear that the man is saying Faa, rather than Baa. Another thing is that its still pretty easy to figure out where the sound is coming from; for example: If I can hear a sound to the left of me, I can be pretty sure that the sound is actually coming from the left of me and not from anywhere else. However, I didn't exactly understand this video very well, are they trying to tell you that what you see may influence what you hear?
