#4 I agree with you're explanation, they don't call it short term memory for nothing. The white guy turning, the reason she didn't say anything was propably because she would be embarassed, what are you gonna say "I thought you were white?" that would go over real well LOL.

It is called Inattentional Blindness, it's pretty cool, how people don't notice things they don't pay attention to..
