And obviously I didn’t take all that much notice of the ones I got wrong…just ran through again and got 12.

I got 9/15 according too them.

But most of the questions were pretty questionable.

Since when was black a colour?

The explanation goes that if you were better at detecting them you could see very low levels of photos.

I’ve been places where there’s no light. Good luck finding your orange there….

For instance, if colour is defined by a single wavelength, how can you have colours defined by three numbers?

I thought they said it wasn’t a colour.

I said yes because of the CMBR.

Nah, they said it is, because apparently they are happy enough to include photons that are invisible.

Um the question on is black a colour is correctly answered no, according to them. I just went in and checked.

Ugh, sorry. My mistake. It accepted the answer no but I thought the explanation indicated yes.

ANSWER: B. No, but you could think of it as dark white. Black is just a relative low intensity of photons. If you were better at detecting them, black might appear to be white.”
