The Necker Cube, discovered by the Swiss crystallographer L A Necker in 1832, illustrates the capacity of the human mind to build hypotheses about what it sees when there is insufficient data. In fact, because there is so little data, there are two possible hypotheses as to the orientation of the Necker Cube.
