Crazy Brain Twister

Tonight Ryan & I found this on the Internet. I thought it was so crazy. Try as I might, I couldn't do it. Ryan passed it perfectly on his very first try (and with some speed too) I must have tried half a dozen times, but I couldn't get it. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at myself in my entire life. Why is this so challenging? You'll have to try it yourself. Please! Leave me a message and tell me how you did. Am I alone in my color ineptitude, or is it really as hard as it was for me? Maybe Ryan's just a genius!

READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING LIST OUT LOUD, BUT DO NOT SAY WHAT THE WORDS SPELL... INSTEAD, SAY THE COLOR THE WORD IS WRITTEN IN.

BLACK RED GREEN
PURPLE YELLOW RED

GREEN BLUE ORANGE

I think it must have to do with that color aptitude test you took. You're sense of hue is much too finely tuned.

I got it on the first try!

I sounded like a total idiot, but I managed to stumble my way through. I am going to have Kent do it when he gets home.
Thanks for the fun!

I did it. But I had to slow down, and concentrate. I'm sure my kids could do it. Because they can't read. They have the advantage there.
Funny. Thanks.

Ok! I could NOT do it! Like NOT! I sounded like the villiage IDIOT! OH MAN! I was sitting in my office and I think people could hear me, so then it was even worse.

That's pretty interesting, I could do it but I felt rather slow. After doing it a couple times I was getting faster though . . . .

Okay after laughing at myself also I couldn't do it. That is to funny. I'm keep practicing.

I did pretty good! Mainly because this is one of the games on Brian Age for the Nintendo DS, so I've had practice! FUN game! =)

Okay, you're not stupid. I couldn't do it on the first try. After a couple times though, I could do it really, really slow. I had Earl try and he couldn't really do it either. I had the twins try and they kept reading the words, but after I had to show them how to do it, they got it faster than me. So maybe that means we're just the normal ones, right?!!?

This is a fun test of right brain vs left brain. Your left brain wants to read the words and your right brain interpets the colors. I can do it, but I have to just pay attention to the first letter not the whole word.
