I think there's an anchoring effect in play here. If you select blue -> blue -> green -> blue -> green -> blue -> green…, you land at the population median.
(The point being that, once you get to a somewhat ambiguous point (after two blue selections), you can say "oh, well, compared to the last one this is {opposite color}!", and it seems most people do that.)
- layer8 5mo agoThat doesn’t explain why I landed 92% off the population median.
- make3 5mo agoit's a binary search, not too surprising. search over a unidimensional ordered space
- make3 5mo agothis made no sense btw, this would give 4/3
- djmips 5mo agoMy boundary was hue 188, bluer than 98% of the population, for me turquoise is green and then it shows an overall chart which I have to agree with so no, I don't agree with your assessment. I often get into blue/green arguments with my children and that's when I started to suspect that it was personal opinion.
- muzani 5mo agoThat's if you're matching about 40% of the population. For some, it might be blue -> blue -> blue -> blue -> green -> blue -> green -> blue.
- burkaman 5mo agoI wouldn't assume most people do that. For me the last few looked basically the same so I selected the same color for all of them.
- Paracompact 5mo agoYou can't assume most people do that, but you also can't assume most people do not do that.
- abustamam 5mo agoCorrect, but parent comment wasn't making any assumptions, merely stating that they wouldn't assume what GP was possibly assuming. > I wouldn't assume most people do that.
