How good are ***you*** at recognizing photos?

Cognitive Daily ran an experiment to find out how good people were at recognizing famous faces and other things in extremely low-resolution photos.

The results were rather impressive, even with only a few sparse pixels' worth of information. Researches found that people can recognize faces using just 12 × 14 pixels' worth of information. So they decide to go back and see if that number could be further reduced.
