what's my gorilla?

i've been signed up for this management development training at work. its running over 10 months so promises to be quite intensive, but i'm looking forward to it. they did this exercise today, well they did loads, but one freaked me out.

we had to watch this video of people playing basketball and had to count the passes of the white team. i counted 18, which was correct, but they then asked if we saw anything else. only one of 40 people saw it...the gorilla!

the point was to show us that we can be so focussed on a task that we don't see the big picture or what else is going on around us. and that's got me thinking...
