The Boo-Boo Key-Key test
Above are two alphabets of a martian language spoken on a far away planet. One of them is pronounced Boo-Boo (similar to pronouncing Boo-Hoo). The other is pronounced as key-key (with an emphasis on the 'k'). Now you have to decide which of the above image is going to be key-key and which one is going to be boo-boo.
Try it out and lets see what you think.
Note: The two martian alphabets are those to the top left and top right of the rectangle.
Once you have made up your mind, look for the answer in comments.

the first one is boo-boo and the second one is key-key....unless this is a trick question where no matter what you answer, it will be a wrong answer :DDD
yes, I am confident I am correct.......I have a special connexion with Martians ;DDD
this test was put up by a neurologist Dr V.S Ramachandran during one of his talks at IMSc., Chennai.

The image on the left is expected to be Boo-boo because of its relatively flatness in pronouncing boo-boo. the image on the right is expected to be key-key because of sharpness and stress in its pronunciation.
its a test to indicate that human brains ability to abstract information and make inferences from available data.
Wow, thats pretty neat! Needless to say I got it all wrong! :D
maybe it should have been actually pronounced for you. it would have been clearer.
