For me it is a Lib Dem/Tory cartoon but I can't work it out. Much like the voting public who didn't vote for either.

Bloody Hell I have real trouble with blue and green, honest!
Quote: zooo @ October 12 2011, 10:52 PM BSTI can convince myself that each of them looks slightly different if I stare long enough!
Is it the one in the same position as the blue on the other circle?
I suppose that would make sense but I can't see it. I agree there seem to be several different shades.
It's a bit clearer in this pic
Yes it is in the same positiion as the blue in the other one
It's not though if you look at it directly.
Here's a link to the show:

About 6 minutes in.
It's hard to believe that just because they don't have a word for blue, they can't see the blue square amongst the green ones. The blue one seems to jump out as different to me, before I apply any language. If it's true though, it's further evidence that the pen is mightier etc., etc. Just how many of our beliefs do we have do to a third party's suggestions?
Comparing it to the one on the right above it, it looks lighter. It's harder to see on a computer screen though, what with the different viewing angles effecting it.

It's easy enough to tell the difference on the TV footage, isn't it?
Yeah on that clip (at 5:33), it's really obvious which green is slightly different.
Recommended this in the Reading thread, discusses this topic and is really readable and completely fascinating

Got a bit distracted trying work out why he bought his spear with him to a science experiment. There didn't look like there were many suspects to nick it.
However if he did get it pinched and the thief stashed in the sand it would present him with a problem, especially for a hunter gatherer which I guess would be more important to him than the brain's diverse abilities to process colour.

Yeah. Weird that.
Watching the one about Asteroids.
Not as good as the colour one
The one about taste was interesting.
Especially how it's formed from a young age.
