3 of 7 correct.

i missed #1, and knew #3 but couldn't remember the name of the movie.

so i got 2, 4, 5, and 6. and i missed final.

bonus question: of the rods and cones in your retina, which are stimulated by black and white (luminance), and which are by color (chrominance).

cones see color (I think)

yep. rods "see" white and black, cones see color.

ok, bonus bonus question: why do sailors and soldiers use red lights at night on their equipment?

because red light allows for seeing without affecting the dilation of the pupils, thus preserving "night" vision..

it's not dilation, but rod and cone response. but you are correct about night vision, or adaptation!!!!

in the absence of light to reflect color, your rods are doing all of the work. they are much less receptive to red than to green, so by using red light, you don't mess up their dark adaptive qualities. it takes your eyes, probably actually your brain, about a half hour to 45 minutes to be able to adjust to low light.



we could go all day lt, lol.

i would love to challenge you and a few others here to a game of trivial pursuit. i may get my tail whipped, but it would be fun.

just no literature.

We (obviously) love that game !!

Only 4 & 6 good. But 2 is my usual #.
Thanks, lt.
