I actually got a perfect score, but I nearly killed my eyes doing it :)

#120. Interesting.

#1314. Fun challenge, try and complete each one using a different sorting algo.
I used bogosort. I've been at it for hours.
Re: Color Test
#14I got 0. I was using an Apple Thunderbolt Display and it took me a couple of minutes.
I'd say it will be hard scoring correctly without a decent monitor.
Re: Color Test
#15My result is 32 (0 is perfect, 99 is low). But the best and highest scores for my demographic look wrong, -160 and 444445389. Is that a bug or am I misunderstanding something? A few observations. I think it's easier if you don't group the hues roughly immediately. I did that and it made it harder to discern the hues later when I was doing fine adjustments. Also, I'm a bit worried about my monitor not accurately displ…
My second score is 4. I took my time and re-adjusted the screen brightness now and then. When I felt fatigue I would look away for a while. Also, and I feel most importantly, I would frequently jump from solving one band to do another one, because I felt looking too long into similar hues would desensitise my mind.
Also, it's good to step back and take a look at the complete gradient to see if any blocks stick out.

#16Sure hope if you are using a CRT you are using a colour corrected monitor! [1]

Re: Color Test
#17When inspecting element I saw IDs like "patch_ROW_COLUMN" in container, just put them in order of IDs and you should get a perfect score.
I got 8 instead of 0, bug ?
Re: Color Test
#18Unfortunately, this may say as much about your computer monitor as it says about your eyes. Edit: After finishing the test, the demographic information is clearly screwed up now, since the score range for males in the 20-29 range is -160 to 444445389, which is definitely wrong on the low end (which is supposed to be zero), and probably wrong on the high end (which is probably not supposed to be more than 400 million)…
I got 0, which must be wrong because I was officially diagnosed to have a inferior color recognition but a better contrast differentation then average.

#19Took about 5 minutes - got a 14 - and now I see spots. I wouldn't mind seeing a gaussian distribution on the overall results - I also wouldnt mind having access to all the data :)
http://www.color-blindness.com/color-arrangement-test/ shows distribution IIRC.
Re: Color Test
#20That is a bad designed test, for all the reasons you learn in psychology when talking about experimental test design.
Most importantly: How is this thing scored? Imagine you have everything but one block in the right order. Now every element following that false positioned block is one apart from the right position. Are they now wrong as well? Or are they scored as correct as they are in the correct order in itself?
I'm sure there exists rules for this test design, but it is a hard decision nonetheless. It's error-prone.
It would be a way more sound experiment when presenting always only two colour blocks and letting the user bring them in order (or let them decide: which one is greener, stuff like that). This way one would also detect whether people are able to distinguish between the colours.
Edit: But if they are specific testing for the way people arrange that stuff and try to detect patterns, then well, might be a different story.
