There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Are we supposed to answer with what we (think) we see the colour as?

It was mentioned on the radio this afternoon.
Re: 3-D Optical Illusions
facebook is full of it: much scrolling through I reckon the difficulty is the variety of media we look at this picture from, and the light when we look at it. A large PC screen will be different from a mobile. The original was only a snap, sharing is often low resolution.
And is it just me that thinks it's a rather horrible dress, whatever colours it may be?

Re: 3-D Optical Illusions
Now the secret is out it is interesting why people do see very different colours, not just different shades that any collection of screens might produce.

We Asked a Color Vision Expert About the Color of that Dress
What colour is the dress? Here's why we disagree

We all see colours differently as do other animals. Some soldiers with red/green colour 'blindness' were useful in certain war zones where they could detect camouflaged enemy especially in jungle.

Actually, this is a sound illusion: Yanny or Laurel? Sound 'illusion' sets off ear-splitting arguments

Listening to some of these then going back to the original sometimes changes what I hear. Anyone else?Ok, so if you pitch-shift it you can hear different things:

Re: 3-D Optical Illusions

It seems to be just a case of a computer trying rather badly to mimic some regional accent and coming up with sounds which are not represented in our speech.
