Another person I worked with was colour blind which may have been a problem as we were printing at the time :rotfl:
But I could not get my head around why it would be a problem because for example we will say grass is green if he saw it as a particular shade of grey that is ok because to him that is green. When he sees it again he knows that its green and it is to him.

Feel free to enlighten me folks as no one swayed me from this way of thinking :cool:
How do we all know that we see the same colour at traffic lights, is the red I see the same as the red you see. I understand the light is the same but do we all see it the same?

That's an interesting point. My DS is colour blind. I gather that colour blind people call the pillar box colour red and the grass colour green just like everybody else but would have trouble making two piles of colours of reds and greens if asked to split them into two categories.

I sawa bit of fillm decades ago which showed what the world looked like to a colour blind person. You can't see it unless you register for free at this site with the RI and go to the Walter Bodmer 1984 episodes.

It shows a woman walking around a room decorated in two different colour schemes. One is what we'd see and the other is what a colour blind person would see. And no, they don't see grey!

The crafty bit is how they worked it out!:D


And there's a nother great site for art lovers here. It shows how the painter Monet's paintings changed in the 1920s when he had an operation which made him able to see ultra-violet light.;)

Good morning. Did anyone else apply for tickets for The Sun Legoland promotion? We got our tickets, 3rd choice mid week in June when the Little Anons are in school . The application was sent first class on the day of the 9th token being published so thought we may at least have a chance .

Ah well, worth the gamble, looks like we have to use Ts cc points .

Back for a coffee.

Just prepared a bed for the beet root. Not bothering too much with succession planting as I feel I'm late enough already:o

I'll just have to get my pickling jars at the ready if they all come through at once:)

Anyone else still pulling their leeks? I've still got half a bed left but pulled a load up today. Will cook with chicken later in a cheese sauce


Sun has disappeared behind the clouds and the wind s getting up so back out before the weather turns:)

I remember in maths class years and years ago my teacher telling us about the 100 year rule. i was looking forward to the year 2000 and the confused look on all my friends faces when there was no leap year........until he told us 2000 was in fact an exception!!!!! :mad:

Same maths teacher also gave us a brainteaser. He asked us to count up all the numbers from 1 to 100 and said it should be possible for each of us to do it in a few seconds and with no calculator. Any ideas how?

One of the maths classes I remember from school and still use most days is 'computation'. Now this was 1974, so computers didn't come into it at all. (In fact calculators were banned, and we had to learn to use log tables and sliderules!) Anyway computation was a way of simplifying seemingly difficult maths to make it easier to calculate, usually in your head. For instance 7 x 997 can also be written as 7(1000-3) or (7x1000) minus (7x3) or 7000-21, ie 6979. And 49 x 50 may be easier as (49 x 100/2) or 49 times 100 divided by 2, ie 4900/2 so 2450. Similar to your maths problem, where you can pair up the numbers 1+49, 2+48.. ie 49 pairs that add up to 100, plus the 50 and 100 that are 'left over' from pairing. So 4900+50+100 = 5050. Actually if you pair them up to add up to 101 instead of 100 it becomes even simpler! 50x101, or 50 x 100 plus 50, ie (5000+50) OK back into my corner again, but I really did like that class, and I do still use it every day!
