[SOLVED] #009 - red - ishihara

[nynxer]

easy

[appleTRON]

Easy for some, but alas ... I can't see it. It's just a bunch of dots to me -- I've been colorblind all my life.

[Jinja87]

I don't understand how that can be the answer, there's not even the slightest hint of a puzzle! Its only a colourblindness test. It just doesn't make sense that they'd have it, even if it is only a red card.

[KSG]

I disagree. Look at Red #017 - Easy As.... "Here's a phrase that ends in PIE, and a picture of a PIE, made of a bunch of digits from PI, with a mention of some guy who recited a bunch of PI, and BTW, PI is really the only number with an actual name that many people know. Now, what is this number?" This could be as simple as 45.

Apologies to anyone still stuck on #017 who I may have spoiled it for. :Þ

Also, a good website with the same example shown on the card:

Another curiosity: there are some examples of Ishihara plates where you can see one number if you don't have problems with colors, but if you have achromatopsy you see a different number. I was thinking that this one could be like that, two answers instead of one, but appleTRON said that he couldn't see any number, just a bunch of dots. Will try lo locate that example with two solutions instead of one, or scan the one that I found on a book.

Great page, phoenix ... thanks.

I love reading about colorblindness as it's something I've been affected by all my life. I wonder if there are any other players out there who can't read the Ishihara card, either.

Hello, I'm new so I apologise if I do anything wrong, but I wondered whether the answer to the Ishihara card might be 9 as the card number is #009 and the visible numeral is 45 and 4 plus 5 make 9. What does everyone think? Too much of a stretch?

[doublecross]

Possibly, although 45 is more likely. This is one of the easiest cards in the pack, after all.

We will only really know once the facility to enter answers and earn points is up and running.

*raises a hand* Now, I *know* that this is a Red...and so, therefore must be easy...however...it's stupidly early on a Sunday morning, and I've not yet imbibed enough coffee to dissuade me from something which I noticed.

Final sentence of the card reads "Anyway, there's a number in the image above. What is it?" (Alright, that amounts to two sentences, but hey, coffee, bear with me here)

How about the answer having absolutely nothing to do with the colour blindness test, but just being a case of interpreting the question correctly..."there's a number in" "the image above" which would then make it:-
