Do you know that one visual test with the two lines that are equally long but one looks longer than the other because of the arrows drawn on them?

Mongolians think the other one looks bigger. The prevailing hypothesis (untestable, unfortunately, until we find some way to divide them) is that Mongolians don't live in houses with hard edges, so they don't see two walls coming together in a corner like pic related all the time.
