Only 1 In 4 People Can See All The Colors In This Box. Can You?

What color is the sky? Blue, right? But do I see blue the same way you do? Maybe my blue is your pink or my pink is your magenta.

It sounds odd, but after the Internet had a full-blown existential crisis over the color of a dress (white and gold forever!) it has become pretty apparent that not everyone sees all the pretty hues present in a box of Crayola crayons.

For instance, many see a distinctive difference between the shades laser lemon, unmellow yellow, and canary while others view all three as simply “yellow.”

Really, it all boils down to how many cones, or color receptors, you have in your eyes. Professor Diana Derval, a neuro-marketing expert, posted an interesting test that determines how many cones you have. After I took the simple test, it was fascinating to see how many people — and creatures — see the world the same exact way I do…

To take the test, count the colors you see in this spectrum:

The_Colors_in_This_Box_Can_You

How many did you see?
 
If you saw…

Fewer than 20 distinctive colors: Derval says you’re a dichromat and only have two cones in your eye. Twenty-five percent of the population are dichromats. Yet, don’t fret, you’re in good company — dogs are also dichromats too. Dervals says dichromats have a tendency to wear a lot of black, beige, and blue clothing.

Between 20 and 32 distinctive colors: You’re a trichromat. That means you have three types of cones in your eye in the purple/blue, green, and red area. Dervals says trichromats enjoy different colors and can appreciate them. About 50 percent of the population is a trichromat.

Between 32 and 39 distinctive colors: Just like a bumblebee, you’re a tetrachromat. Dervals says these kinds of people have four types of cones. They also get irritated by yellow and will most likely never wear it. About 25 percent of the population is a tetrachromat.

More than 39 distinctive colors: You better count again! Dervals says there are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly translated by the computer screen.

How many did you see? Let us know!

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
