    Count how many times the players
    wearing white pass the ball.

    about half miss the gorilla.
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    If you knew about the
    gorilla you probably saw it,
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    but did you notice the curtain
    changing color,
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    or the player on the black team
    leaving the game?
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    Let's rewind and watch it again.
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    Here comes the gorilla, and
    there goes a player,
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    and the curtain is changing from
    red to gold.
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    When you're looking for a
    gorilla you often miss other
  • 1:29 - 1:33
    unexpected events.
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    And that's the Monkey Business
