I have never...

[charliecharlie]

I work with colour a lot (theory, psychology, application, etc) and some years ago remember reading a piece in the BMJ about a medical research project related to colour impairment... I feel sure that the piece said that around 30% of males are either colour 'blind' or have some level colour impairment... I can't for the life of me find any evidence of this study online, so maybe there is new evidence that that takes the % back down to one in ten males... anyone know any thing about this?

I can see all of those exept the one in the bottom left corner looks like an L or maybe an E.

[bigbadwolf]

I have never ever dared ask my father about fighting in the Falklands.

[candj]

I have never read the Guardian.

[david_carnell]

I can only see 18 top right but nothing in any of the others.

Fun game this... do you do star-jumps in front of people in wheelchairs too? ;-)

[candj]

on that vein, I have never asked my father about fighting in Vietnam.

[bigbadwolf]

I've often been tempted candj but when we were little we were sat down by my mum and grandparents and told that it was strictly, strictly forbidden.

[red devil]

Top left might be a 5 and 8?...

Top right defo 18...

Bottom left, nae chance...

Bottom right 1 and 7 or maybe 2?...

On the subject of lefties, there was a boy at my school who was naturally left handed, and he reckoned a doctor said he had developed a stammer because his parents tried to get him to use his right hand/foot when he was younger!..

[candj]

BBW, I too have been tempted but saw the effects and read too much and saw too many photos. I drew my own conclusions and feel nightmares like that should be left in the past, if possible.

Is the diagram not 58, 18, E and 17?

Agreed Red Devil, never try to change the hand/foot that children use. I think it confuses them.

[Cassius]

58, 18, looks like ? and 17.

That happened to my grand-dad. I'm not sure what year he was born, but some time around the turn of the century. I understand that teachers would tie his left hand to his side. Anyway, he stammered all his life because of it, but had a lovely tenor singing voice, without stammer.

Edited to say - sorry for going (and remaining) off topic - I have never chewed gum!

[bigbadwolf]

Top left - 58

Top right - 18

Bottom left - ?

Bottom right - 17

[Torben Pieknik]

I'm red green colour blind too and can only see the 18 in the top right. I does get tedious when I tell people I'm colour blind and they spend the next 10 minutes asking what colour things are.

[Moos]

I can see what you mean, Torben. Really, you'd think they'd know.

[bigbadwolf]

Come on Charlie can we have the results please?

[charliecharlie]

well, BBW...

top left says...

top right says...

bottom right says...

bottom left says...

[Eliza.D]

I have never sang Karaoke, not even when I have been really drunk, which is when most people get up and have a go.

I have also never sworn at my dad, infront of him all the time but never at him.

If the first answer is "8" then I got the first two only.

The second, I assume is "10" no idea about the 3rd or 4th one.
