Mysteries of Color

Edward Choi

This is your sixth case. This man was Mr. Jones' best friend. The judge asked him what he knew, and here was his response: I have known Mr. Jones' for all my life and I have always known that he hates colorblind people. I remember all the great times he had being a scientist and a nuclear power plant operator and when we went drag racing together. I will never forget him. After listening to him, the judge decided to ask to test anyone he had seen in the Amazon and anyone he was with at the nuclear power plant. I will never forget the day Mr. Jones won the drag race competition, he was first and I was second, when I was trying to pass him I did not see the red light and I crashed into him and pushed him over the finish line. I never told him I was colorblind because I was afraid our friendship would not last. I wish he could be here now so I could tell him. We did a second test on his best friend just to be on the safe side. To understand the second test, please click on the link. His results on the second test were:

From these results, we have classified case 6 is classified as mild protan and mild deutan colorblind. This means he is weak in red and green but not a lot in either.

The next test we did on him was test 3, please click on the link so you understand what test 3 was.

Case 6 had a mild protan and a mild deutan color deficiency. This meant that he was weak in both red and green mildly. Not drastically one or the other. On the first picture he colored in the letters blue instead of green. On the second picture, he colored the pattern red-green, as red-blue twice, he colored the pattern red-blue, as red-green and he colored the pattern blue-red-green as blue-orange-green.

The last part of the case testing was test 4. Please read test 4 to understand the final process.
