It should have been titled differently, titling it "Selective Attention Test" makes you kind of expect something odd to look for.

Ok, count the passes. One, two, ..., eight, nine, holy crap, there's a gorilla, ten, eleven, twelve passes.
"There were 15 passes". Doh!
I'm guessing the point of the video was not to demonstrate that gorillas interfere with counting?
