1st CSI Lesson

What did Slylock observe to help him identify the trash tosser?

- Bones

Raccoon is the culprit as cows are vegetarians (eat only grass).

Awareness test

How many tosses did I count? 13.

Did you get it correct? Yes.

Reflections

- Why did I not see the bear?

I was focussed and more concerned about counting the number of passes the white team made as I thought that was the main objective of the video. I programmed my mind to only register the actions for the white team and disregarded all else.
