Mine was 32, so I just beat you, must be the age difference  Roll Eyes
So no choc for you  Shocked

Seriously though, it's an interesting exercise for those of us who critically look at images and prints, makes you realise your limitations - or otherwise!

I have no patience so I'm sure I rushed it. I will try again later but my first score was 47. That was right in the middle for my age group.

Doesn't mean much but I scored a 12, first time.  Kiss I consider myself a novice even at a senior/senior age.  Grin

Well the first time I tried it, I just rushed through it as fast as I could to see what it does and I got a 3.  Then I thought, hmm, might not be so hard to get a zero if I pay close attention so I ran it again and paid more attention to what I was doing and got the zero.  I think the key is to sit back and move your eyes around to different gradients, not staring at the same row for a long time.  If you stare at the same row too long, it kinds gets burnt into your cones.  Wink

Better get that checked out.  A burning in the popsicle is never a good thing!   Tongue

A little disappointed in my score of 12. Supposedly good for my age group (over 50), but now I have doubts about how I see things when I go to print!  :-\
