Re: Color blind
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.

Re: Color blind
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.

Re: Color blind
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.

Re: Color blind
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?RC21 wrote: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.

Re: Color blind
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.

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

Re: Color blind
I hope that's a 6. Some others are a lot harder to me.
