Me too, but I liked the conclusion ("to you, turquoise is blue/green")
- loopdoend 2y agoThat must be the perfect result. I also got 174 but it said "For you, turquoise is green."
- Woshiwuja 2y ago176 for me its blue
- jimz 2y ago180 and blue and I suspect that language also plays a part (I was brought up in an environment where the word turquoise starts with green, but now live in a turquoise-producing state where the finished product look far blue-r.)
- Woshiwuja 2y agoi mean i always saw turquoise as a greenish light blue, so it kinda makes sense
- Filligree 2y agoBut it isn't. Turquoise is turquoise, and since that wasn't an option, I picked one at random.
- anamexis 2y agoThe whole point is demarcating the line between where colors seem more-blue-than-green, and more-green-than-blue.
- layer8 2y agoIt’s not a line though, it’s a range where you can see it either way, like a flipping Necker cube.
- ryandrake 2y agoThat wasn't clearly part of the test. To be ultra-pedantic (this is HN after all), the user's choices don't say "This is more-blue-than-green" and "This is more-green-than-blue". The choices are only "This is green" and "This is blue" forcing you to just pick one, where there is no clearly correct choice. When the color on the screen is neither green nor blue, many people will just pick a random answer. I bet if the choices actually said "This is more green than blue" the results would be different.
- anamexis 2y ago> When the color on the screen is neither green nor blue, many people will just pick a random answer. Or people will naturally intuit that they should choose whichever answer they think is closer to true.
- samstave 2y agoTurquoise is blue with green , so if it asked me to pick I’d pick green. Because if they have eggs then pickup a dozen milks HN pedant here
- JAlexoid 2y agoOr most likely people will come out with a severe feeling of dissatisfaction with the results.
- amonith 2y agoOn such a random internet doodad most users will pick a random answer period. To see what this thingy tries to do without wasting any time on it. I hope it doesn't try to do gather any meaningful data. Personally I "tried" to answer truthfully at first and then went absolutely "ok f u, don't care no more" when it showed turquoise :D
- amelius 2y agoTo be honest, when I got turquoise and had to choose blue or green, I just thought "oh whatever" and picked one randomly.
- tracker1 2y agoSame here... Then again, natural turquoise can appear more blue or green in nature too.
- JAlexoid 2y agoI actually disliked the conclusion, because it forced me to classify turquoise as either blue or green. When it's a mix more than anything. It lacks the "can't classify" to make it a better tool.
- gehwartzen 2y agoYou could look at it as “How much yellow do I have to add to my blue until I no longer consider it blue and instead consider it turquoise”
- subsubzero 2y agoyeah kind of a waste of time, what is this 50% mixture of green and blue? pick one - Blue or Green answer it should have: Its both
