ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A BIG THANKYOU!

COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THE 75 WONDERFUL ST GEORGIANS WHO VOLUNTEERED THEIR BRAIN POWER

(OR SAID YES WHEN I ASKED...)

RAW EXPERIMENTAL DATA...

AND WHEN I SAY RAW... I MEAN R.A.W.

By the way... all names have been removed due to protect the privacy (or save the embarassment) of volunteers :)

a peek at the results :D

HMMM.... not as sucessful as hoped but the fact that black had a lower average is interesting...

NOTE: Other previously unmentioned changes...

I realised that the colours ORANGE and YELLOW were too closely related especially on a screen...
(see what I mean?!)

and therefore decided to ELIMINATE ORANGE.

Other change I havent mentioned on my blog is the use of a CONSTANT VARIABLE where the letters and numbers shall appear in the colour...
BLACK (only this font will make it appear greyish on my blog but MOVING ALONG...)


I believe these changes have made my experiment FAR more valid :)

THE SECONDS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO 16 SECS.
THAT IS... ABOUT 2 SECS PER QUESTION...
