Color Blindness Test

How to Use this Test:

The original card version of this test (by Dr Shinobu Ishihara) was designed to be carried out in a room adequately lit by daylight. The presence of direct sunlight or artificial light may produce some discrepancy in the results because of some alteration in the appearance of shades of colour. This electronic version may also produce some discrepancies as the images have been optimized for web-based delivery and with a monitor resolution of 800x600 and 256 colour display or greater. The results of this test are not to be considered a valid medical test for color blindness and merely serve to illustrate the tests available. If you have any queries about your own possible color vision deficiencies consult your local GP. Position yourself about 75cm from your monitor so that the colour test image you are looking at is at eye level, read the description of the image and see what you can see!! It is not necessary in all cases to use the entire set of images. In a large scale examination the test can be simplified to 6 tests; test, one of tests 2 or 3, one of tests 4, 5, 6 or 7, one of tests 8 or 9, one of tests 10, 11, 12 or 13 and one of tests 14 or 15.

When the order talker tells you that you have called a wrong number, act angry and say that you won't stop calling until you get your order. After ordering, end the call saying, "Remember, we never had this conversation." Tell the person taking the order that you have a competing pizza place on the other line and you're going order from the place wich gives the best offer. Just give them your address and say, "Oh, just surprise me!" Then hang up. Answer their questions with questions. When they say "What would you like?" say "What should I like?" In your deepest voice, tell them to cut the crap about vegetable pizzas and ask if they have something extremely sinful. Use these bonus words in the conversation: boiled, free-spirited, cost-efficient, ukrainian, and food poisoning. Tell the order taker to "Put the cheese on top of the pizza this time." Sing the order to the tune of your favorite song. Try to play some instrument at the same time. Refuse to name the toppings you want on your pizza. Instead spell them out.

Order 52 pepperoni slices prepared in a fractal pattern as follows from a difficult equation you are about to tell them. Ask if they need paper. Act like you know the order taker from somewhere. Say, "Bed-Wetters' Camp in 1978, right?" Start your order with "I'd like...". A little later, slap yourself and say, "No, I don't want that." If they repeat the order to make sure it's right, say, "Okay, that'll be 99 Dollars, would you like to pay in cash?" Ask if you can rent a pizza. Tell them that their competitors are already doing it. Order while using an electric knife sharpener or an electric knife. Ask if you get to keep the pizza box. When they say yes, say "Phew, I was getting worried." Put an accent on the last letter of the word "pepperoni." Use the long "i" sound. Introduce yourself as an Agent Of The Central Intelligence. Have your pizza "shaken, not stirred." Say that "Are you sure this is Pizza Place?" When they say yes, say "Well, so is this! You've got some explaining to do!" When they finally offer proof that their place is really the Pizza Place, start to cry and ask "Do you know what it's like to be lied to?" Move the phone farther and farther from your lips as you speak. When the call ends, put the phone back near your mouth and scream "Goodbye!" from the top of your lungs. Ask them to double-check to make sure your pizza is really dead and it doesn't move anymore. Imitate the order taker's voice. Try to use the same words as he does. When they say "What would you like?", say "Huh? Oh, you mean right now..." Play a sitar in the background as you order. Tell the order taker that it's a very dear hobby of yours.

Order many slices, not a whole pizza. Define the slice's maximum width carefully. Mix up yourself completely in the middle of the order, after a little while come back to your senses, and then say "Where was I? Who are you?" Ask if you can do a psychoanalysis to the order taker. Tell him that it's not dangerous and you have done it to yourself many times before. Ask what their phone number is. Hang up, call them, and ask again. Repeat this as many times as possible.

Ask if the pizza is organically grown. Say that you are afraid of all artificial things. Be as careless as possible with your order, but then be very specific about the proper dimensions of the box where the pizza should be delivered in.

10 Easy Arithmetic Tricks

1. The 11 Times Trick We all know the trick when multiplying by ten - add 0 to the end of the number, but did you know there is an equally easy trick for multiplying a two digit number by 11? This is it: Take the original number and imagine a space between the two digits (in this example we will use 52: 5_2 Now add the two numbers together and put them in the middle: 5_(5+2)_2 That is it - you have the answer: 572. If the numbers in the middle add up to a 2 digit number, just insert the second number and add 1 to the first: 9_(9+9)_9 (9+1)_8_9 10_8_9 1089 - It works every time.
