I solve the cube at like a minute or so, so I'm not terrible at the cube, but Ive only caught one trick so far , at 1.57 he only solves the red/green/white side and leaves the blue/orange/yellow sides looking scrambled. he then simply flips the cube so it now looks solved, you can see he starts scrambling* right away so they wont catch him out.

*probably isnt scrambling but actually a trained sequence to get to the next trick.

I was really excited about this, but they only seem to be for red/green - my dad has monochromacy. For a minute there, i thought woah what a miracle, i have to get it. Sad come-down, folks..

If you folks that are color blind want to see in color without spending $400 there is a solution, albeit a very temporary one.

Hit acid.

No seriously. A good friend of mine is red/green color blind and when we used to hit acid a lot in our 20's he could suddenly see every color. He could pick out the red in the sunset, the green of the grass.

These glasses though, I'm gonna have to tell him about them. People spend $400 every day on regular glasses or shit, fancy shades. $400 seems a pittance to see the world as it is meant to be seen.

I had never heard of these -- I'm still a bit baffled as to how they could possibly work. I'm not colorblind myself but a good friend is red/green colorblind, I'll have to see if he knows about them.

Assuming $400 is an accurate price, it still really doesn't seem that expensive to me. I'm pretty extremely nearsighted -- roughly minus 8 -- and my glasses (with frames) already cost almost that much just because my prescription is on that far end of the bell curve. Without glasses I can't see a damn thing more than 3-4 inches in front of my face, so I basically *need* them no matter the price.

Actually, I remember having a reaction somewhat like this guy when I got glasses for the first time ("holy crap! I can see *leaves* on trees!"), and my eyes were much better then than they are now...

My son has red-green color blindness.
I read about these and got them for him this spring---He loves using them---bright sunlight is best---

They're damned expensive, but...

I saw one of their booths and went to try it out. I'm Red/Green colour blind, but not all the way. I know it helped out my mom a lot, but it did little for me. I wonder what that feeling is like. =)

First, nice no quote in hopes I won't reply...
Second, no, it's not double speak at all. The video you linked showed Pelosi saying because of all the lies and misrepresentation, the only way the public will know what's actually in the bill is to see it pass so they can read it. The expectation was that the lies and misrepresentation would stop once it passed, as it would be a done deal....sadly that's not what happened.
It's like I can look up in the sky and see it's blue, even though the Retardicans have said it's yellow, red, green, purple, orange, and/or mauve and the Dumbocrats have told me it's somewhere on the spectrum between green and ultra violet.
Your angry self righteous anti-Obama position is sad.

Enjoy it, it is a fantastic *canada ian show from times of younger better years.

Red Green was a staple. also the CBC was- to those with Antennae rabbit ears, only a handful of shows were decent from CBc and THIS was one of them !! respect should be given.

Never saw it once come near the man's eye? Most idiots knows not to point a laser into someone's eye (be it red green of blue, etc.), and this doesn't look like a couple of idiots.

Easily? Quite the stretch there, Smokey Bear.

Someone who leaves a laser on their desk for the sort of people who will pick it up without asking and stare into it well, who's that sort of person??

You used the word jackass, I'd use another.

With the popularity of Angry Birds, the game related merchandises are produced. Angry Birds books, bags, toys and stationery are main categories. Our store has a good collection of Angry Birds plush toys. Red, green, blue, black, ad orange birds are all included.

Obviously not an escalator... obviously just normal steps with odd metal grooves on their kicks, rubber handrails which can move, red/green buttons, and warning stickers.

but colour is an invention of our brains anyway? Is yellow a specific wavelength or is yellow what our brain says is yellow whether its red+green together, or "true" yellow.

Either way the light output by your monitor is not 580nm like your brain is telling you but rather an even mix of 650nm and 510nm.
If our eyes didn't "fudge" colors in this way we most likely wouldn't have color television (or monitors)


I didn't read his post like that, maybe he's asking for a definition of yellow because as our cones are basically wavelength filters for photons whilst our brain interprets a message of "hey i caught something of this intensity" from each of them, what is this "yellow" that we all use and think we know what it means? It will eventually come down to the resolution of the eye; each photon from each source will be coming in from a different angle into our eye, by extremely small amounts - the smallest thing we can resolve is where our brain says "ok, i think that's coming from the same place; it's not red and blue separately but yellow."

It'd be the same if you have a green and red patterned circular board and spun it really fast. Our eyes effectively have a "framerate", a point where we see something as motion. Play a game and limit to 1 fps, then increase in say 5's and before 30 you should start to feel motion rather than stuttering frames, then as you keep going you can't see stuttering anymore, it's just all motion. Our eyes have something similar, we used to do it in science. My dad was head of physics and he stuck a ROYGBIV patterned board on a black and decker drill and when it was up to speed it looked white.

So if something registers as yellow to our brains, is that not yellow? We have no direct access to our cones, we just interpret the signals. If all we had were light sensitive cells everything would be one colour and no colour at the same time.

That's what the post meant to me and it's a great point really even if it's just an excuse for sciencey discussion! If yellow is defined as a range of wavelengths of light, he's right to say it isn't yellow, but i doubt many people think of yellow in that sense. Having said all that, the video was actually interesting and informative and i enjoyed watching it, and this is probably a philosophical question for others to bother with.

PS.
Bert and Ernie, Simpsons, Smurfs, South Park, Turtles? Not sure about B&E though.
