Did you know people who are blind to green are 189% more likely to carry a black counterfeit bill and 83% more likely to have horrible front lawns?

Tis true.

So I suppose the deeper meaning of the song, 'Ebony and Ivory' is lost on this one.

When it comes to taking tests, I am color blind. The orange #12 that they say exists in the green dots I can't see. I mean I see a few orange dots, but it's not a number. I think it's a big scam myself, I don't think anyone can see those and they are just saying that to make me feel bad.

On this test above, going left to right top to bottom:

1. 25, clear as a bell.
2. Pretty much random dots.
3. 45 I think - but I couldn't swear to it.
4. 56.
5. Random dots
6. Thought it was a 6, but after looking closer I see that it is an 8.

The last test at the bottom I see a 2.

jim, I have never had a problem with color blindness and I have trouble seeing those numbers. I see them but it's not real easy. That should give merit to what you're saying.

I've had people tell me that all of the numbers show up as clearly as the 56 (and 25). A couple of those and I can't find the number even when I know what the number is. And that last one - you see a 5?

I do see a 5, but it's pretty misleading because there are chunks missing in it. The bottom curve of the 5 is halfway complete, then disappears, and then suddenly it gets to the back end of the curve (if that makes sense).

I see all of them, but the 6 is pretty unclear. I don't see any of them as clearly as the 25.

I see them all, clear as a bell.

edit : the others don't pop out as much as the 25 but I can read them easily.

Sorry, but I do not believe you if you tell me there is anything but random dots there.

I hope that's a 6. Some others are a lot harder to me.
