ROYGBIV puzzle
For this puzzle I took 7 squares and coloured them using the ROYGBIV RGB values for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Then I used the Dichromacy plug-in in ImageJ to simulate how these colors would be seen by a viewer with Deuteranopia (the more common form of color vision deficiency). I then shuffled the squares in random order on a square canvas, and numbered them 1-7 in clockwise order.
Puzzle: can you pair the squares numbered 1 through 7 with the colors R though V? I will give away the obvious one, which is the yellow (brightest):
1=Y 2=? 3=? 4=? 5=? 6=? 7=?
