ok try this it is just sort of something that is kind of hard to do:

ok read the following COLORS not the actual WORDS

example: green and u would read blue instead of green...understand??

ok so here it is just read the COLOR of the words:

red yellow green blue blue orange black purple red orange orange orange blue green yellow yellow orange

well i hope u enjoy it .... some have probably seen it before.

are you guys doing the same thing I'm doing?

Because it is hard.

I want to make sure you are doing it right.

Blue Red yellow Yellow Green

Now, in order to this right, you must read out loud the actual color of the words, not what they say. In other words, you must say (really fast):

"Yellow Blue Red Green Red"

i'm really surprised everyone can do this easily.

you all are too good!

It's all bout concentrating on the colors and not read the words. If you're like not concentrating on anything, it's easier. Just not read the text and it's easy to only say the real colors.

just pretend your proof-reading something... just skim it and you wont notice the text... or maybe I'm just weird ^-^

heh squint your eyes very much and you can't read anything, but you can recognize the color, which means that it's child's play to avoid reading wrong color :)

Hehe. I am indeed "serverely colourblind" (acc. to my optician's report), but not totally. So I can see colour pretty much the same as anyone else, except I see some colours as others. Especially in that I can't see grey properly; it always looks blue-green (clouds are always weird!).

ok here r some questions i found that all of you can try and answer:

1. In Camberley, England, two out of every seven people have telephone numbers that are not listed in the directory. If there are 14,000 names in the Camberley telephone directory, how many of them have numbers that are unlisted?

2. In Iran, a Westerner cannot take a photograph of a man with a turban. Why not?

3. How many successful parachute jumps does a trainee parachutist in the U.S. Army have to make before he graduates from jump school?

4. what is the invention, first discovered in ancient times, that allows people to see through solid walls?

5. A man carefully pointed his car due east and then drove for two miles. He was then two miles west of where he started from. How come?

6. A mail plane was halfway from Dallas to Miami at a height of 2000 feet on a clear, still day. It dropped a 100 kg sack of airmail letters and a 100 kg steel rod at the same time. Which hit the ground first?

7. If two are company and three are a croud, what are four and five?

8. With which hand does a nun stir her coffee?

9. Why do some people press elevator buttons with their fingers and others with their thumbs?

10. What do you say to a man who claims not to be superstitious?

11. If a grandfather clock strikes thirteen, what time is it?

12. Two sons, two fathers and a grandfather sat together. How many men were there?

13. An archaeologist showed his daughter a coin that he had found on a dig. He told her it was dated 200 B.C. She told him she thought it was fake. Who was right?

14. two-parter: a) What color is a refrigerator? b)What do cows drink?

don't take the questions too seriously. ^-^

enjoy!

I'll post the answers tomorrow.

1. In Camberley, England, two out of every seven people have telephone numbers that are not listed in the directory. If there are 14,000 names in the Camberley telephone directory, how many of them have numbers that are unlisted?
If there are 14,000 names in the phone directory then 0 of those 14,000 ppl are not listed meaning all of the 14,000 listed have their numers listed too not just their name...
2. In Iran, a Westerner cannot take a photograph of a man with a turban. Why not?
Cause they dont wear Turbans in Iran your thinking of Iraq or maybe it's Afganistan. Or is it his camera wont zoom that far if the one guy is a westener still in the west trying to take a pic of a guy halfway across the world, maybe his camera has the Huble Tele zoom ;D
3. How many successful parachute jumps does a trainee parachutist in the U.S. Army have to make before he graduates from jump school?
Well assuming if he had any unsuscessfull jumps and still lived... he would only need one sucessful one.
4. what is the invention, first discovered in ancient times, that allows people to see through solid walls?
A hole... just but a hole in the solid wall and you can see thru it
5. A man carefully pointed his car due east and then drove for two miles. He was then two miles west of where he started from. How come?
Cause the idiot had it in reverse ;D
6. A mail plane was halfway from Dallas to Miami at a height of 2000 feet on a clear, still day. It dropped a 100 kg sack of airmail letters and a 100 kg steel rod at the same time. Which hit the ground first?
Well since they weight the same amount 100kg assuming they were both dropped at the exact same time they landed at the same time
7. If two are company and three are a croud, what are four and five?
4 and 5 are numbers if added they equal 9
8. With which hand does a nun stir her coffee?
hopefully she uses a spoon or else she'll burn her fingers... but wait are nuns allowed to drink coffee?
9. Why do some people press elevator buttons with their fingers and others with their thumbs?
What else would you use, your tounge? whos know where those fingers and thumbs have been...

10. What do you say to a man who claims not to be superstitious?

11. If a grandfather clock strikes thirteen, what time is it?
Well if for some strange reason your grandfather clock tells milatry time then it would be 1 o'clock in the afternoon.... othewise its time to get a new clock ;)
12. Two sons, two fathers and a grandfather sat together. How many men were there?
Three men me, my father and my son. I am my fathers son and my son is mine. I am my sons father and my father is mine. My father is also my sons gradfather.
13. An archaeologist showed his daughter a coin that he had found on a dig. He told her it was dated 200 B.C. She told him she thought it was fake. Who was right?
Exactly how did they know it was BC (Before Christ) That would be like going up to a libray in 200BC and asking for the New Testiment of the Bible ;)
14. two-parter: a) What color is a refrigerator? b)What do cows drink?
depends on what color you bought my fathers is a silver metal one but mine is a yellowish puke color... but most are white I guess... Oh and a cow drinks water.
