Yeah I see you're point, when I look at the tooth picks that actually came
in the box the images are quite similar, but maybe these are just rubbish
tooth-picks, I'll give it a more stereotpyical look, I think, but that means
re-positioning all the tooth-picks (Moray is amazing but POV will always
have its advantages over everything!).  Anyway I'm off to have a go at that
new tooth-pick (what an exciting life I live).

No - it _must_ be you since 4% of the males are colour blind, and more than
90% of those are of the red-green type: mixing up red and green (or seeing
no difference between R&G). As you are the only one, in the group of 25
people who have seen this picture, who has complained that the reddish
sticks are greenish, ....

I hope its  your monitor :) Does it show good red-green 3D anaglyphs? Did
nobody tell you that your Mars pictures ---

It would have to be an inability to distinguish red and green. If they simply
saw them "backwards" from everybody else there would be no way for others to
know.

Vibrating! I think the tools are all tuned to the natural frequency of
human teeth to cause the most discomfort possible for a non-invasive
cleaning procedure.

You mean: a matter of definition - what I always have called 'green', you
always have called 'red' ?

Sorry Bob: Stupid of me to again forget to add all kinds of smilies....
Your Mars pictures are very well coloured!

Now serious for a moment. I lookes at the test below (yes, you had me
worrying!) and found excellent scores for all 3 colours. So...

Sort of. If what I saw as red you saw as green, you would still call it red
because when someone points to it and says red you learn to call it red. But
maybe you actually see it as green. There would be no way for others to tell
you were doing this.
