Man that's hard. Hehe.

I think I miss a couple even when focusing as hard as I can manage. I realize I do it I think, but i say the wrong thing before correcting myself.

Stupid brain. :D

I did pretty crappy also. It is pretty tough to keep focused through it all.

I didn't miss one ... just wasn't that difficult.

edit; although it was tricky, making the first few words correspond with the color, then changing it up. :(

That was fun!
Are there any other tests like this one? It's amazing isn't it, how two senses can conflict like this?

There must be so many other situations where our senses collaborate. Makes you wonder how good or bad that may be...
