Took the test and got a 0, but strange thing I noticed during the test was that "wiping" the cursor over the colored blocks during the test seemed to increase the saturation of the blocks, making the test much easier.

I also got a zero, and I just barely noticed what you mean--I think it had to do with the white cursor being over the block.

Probably similar to this illusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion

I noticed I had to spend a lot of time in the bottom two rows near the ends--in the purples, for instance, it was near-impossible for me to tell the last three tiles apart.


Also zero. I just did clustering and then insertion sort. It seemed obvious where each color belonged.
