       | That was interesting. Scored 14.

       | About 6 weeks ago I got a lens implant to replace a cataract-
       | ravaged lens in my dominant eye. One of the first things I
       | noticed after surgery was that the color temperature of that eye
       | cooled noticeabley. My other eye has a less advanced cataract and
       | of course the lens has yellowed. I found some of the rows easier
       | with one eye versus the other. Fun test!

       | I got 0 on an OLED display at maximum brightness.
       | 
       | I think I did this test before on worse screens and didn't get
       | 0...

         | It does work best on a well calibrated screen. I can get 0 on a
         | good desktop display, but on this phone with the brightness
         | down and colour temp adjusted to match the ambient light I got
         | a 4, and I can see that those sections of the colour wheel are
         | getting crushed by the screen adjustment.

       | Got a 0! Does this mean I'm a superchromat?!

       | I see quite a large jump between the left hand 5 boxes and the
       | right hand 5 boxes... Is this an artifact of the screen or some
       | rounding issue in displaying with 8 bit colors?

       | Does dragging the boxes work like crap on every mobile browser,
       | or just Firefox?

         | Worked ok-ish. Notable that the first and last box are fixed,
         | so those are the most frustrating to move around.

       | I got 0, which was somewhat surprising because I struggle with
       | some other colorblindness tests, like the dot circles. I think my
       | colorblindness is on the milder side, but I was still expecting
       | to get a few wrong on this one.

         | Yeah, in Firefox, I can't seem to drag anything leftwards to

         | shuffle them around...

       | I got a 2! I'd imagine this depends not only on your vision, but
       | also your display. A display with higher color contrast ought to
       | give you an edge.

       | kind of a silly test, what is the proper order?

         | That's the point, it's randomised (except for the first and
         | last blocks) so it shows how perceptive you are colour-wise.
         | Maybe you're actually struggling with colour and should see a
         | specialist if you can't really differentiate them (after
         | ensuring that the screen is not the one having a fault).

         | Since endpoint boxes are fixed, there is a proper order.
         | 
         | Given the ordered boxes x,y,z, and the endpoint colors L ... R:
         | 
         | for every y, x should contain more of L, and z should contain
         | more of R.

       | Got a zero on a phone screen almost minimum brightness. Dragging
       | sucked and confused me a bunchcause I'd try to move something and
       | it wouldn't move. But my mother was a photoshop and color grading
       | expert for hallmark for a couple decades so it's probably
       | somewhat genetic advantage

         | Also zero on an iPhone 13 Pro, which has a very good/accurate
