I saw a similar thing, but with a British Telecom osciliscope for
testing underground cable. It was a big black metal box roughly the size
of a typical HiFi component, with a big blurry blue/purple LCD. I have
no idea if this means it had a less crappy speaker in it though...

I dunno. Are monitors really *that* different? The task here is to
visually distinguish between unique hues, without specifying exactly what
they look like other than being all different.

Well, if one of the guys in our lab tried this, they'd have a problem.
The red gun on one of the CRT monitors only fires at about 20%
brightness, so everything comes out looking a weird bluish colour.
(Also, the "black" actually comes out dark grey instead of black. And
there's pale white zigzag lines across the screen that won't go away...)

Well, I got 60.
I could say something about this LCD being half-broken, but basically I
suspect I just suck.

Someone scored 0... The test itself is rather diabolical, shifts in
subtle pastel hues are difficult to distinguish even in the best of
conditions.

Yes. And exactly how hard do you think it is to real the source code for
the client-side scripting to determine the perfect ordering? ;-)

Tell me about it...

Hmm. Not kidding:
# Score: 0
# Gender: Male
# Age Range: 30-39
# Best score for your gender and age range: 0
# Highest score for your gender and age range: 1468
Though, truthfully, in the reds, the fourth or fifth to the last "fit"
for me only because it literally didn't fit in "any" other position in
the pattern. Seems I do have a quirk in my color vision there, or maybe
in the way firefox showed it, which made it seem a tiny bit too "bright"
and "orange" for where it "should" be. If the test also let you remove
colors that you think where either a) the same or b) didn't belong, I
would probably have scored a 2 or 3.

Or just press print-screen and then use the colour-picker in your favourite
paint program.

But if people are often scoring in the 0-5 range, it looks a tiny bit on the
easy side if anything to me.

I just did it and had to put my eyes back in...
* Your score: 0
* Gender: Male
* Age range: 30-39
* Best score for your gender and age range: 0
* Highest score for your gender and age range: 1468
When I thought I had it all lined up I would swap pairs one at a time.
That highlighted any mistakes pretty quickly because looking at only 4
at a time made the oddball stand out.
I had the most trouble with the purple colors.
My eyes hurt now....

But of course I have slight color-blindness anyway...
