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?

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!..

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.

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!

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.

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
