How many colors are there in the visible spectrum?
The question might seem easy as the key word here is "visible". But do you know that some colors we know are not part of the spectrum? For instance, the common pink color is not a part of the visible spectrum – it becomes visible only when some certain colors are mixed. The structure of our eyes presupposes that we are able to see only a few pure colors, but we should be grateful for the ability to see at least 7 colors of the rainbow palette.

We see people taking a diverse approach to these quizzes, which is fine. What we also see is people feeling some sort of insecure need to show others how smart they are by trying to drag others down with snarky comments. Samuel Clemens gave a very good reason not to fall for the trap of letting someone drag you down to their level. Once they get you there, to that nasty level, they will surely beat you with experience. What some insist on calling "politcal correctness" with disdain, used to be called being polite.It isn't a political position, just human decency. It can't be that hard to grasp and embrace, can it?

I see we're still back in the Dark Ages when it was believed a doting God placed the earth at the center of the universe and all the heavens swirled about us humans. Aren't we special! The idea of color being 'created' for us is infantile... As are the gifts of drought, plague, cancer, infanticide and mass murderers?

Why can’t people just answer a simple question and keep their religious beliefs to themselves?

Teo Sinclair Gifts are blessings, not hardships or curses. What great, omnipotent human being is going to lead us out of this earthly mess.

Timothy Drumm Hello Timothy, you are exactly right, but unfortunately when the Antichrist steps on the scene, people are going to think he will be able to, but it's a lie, there is only one Person that will set it all right when He comes back at the second coming, that's Jesus Christ at the battle of Armageddon, He's coming back on a White Horse and all the Angel's and His Saint's the one's that accepted Him as their Savior will be with Him, and the Battle will be stopped, its going to be an awesome time, and one thing about it all, every one that chose not to accept Him, ( EVERY ). Knee will Bow at that time I don't care who they are or what they believe is right, Jesus said....I am, THE WAY. THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, ( NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER EXCEPT ( THROUGH ME ). Blessings to you!!!!

Sean Philips, Because their 'religious' beliefs are part of their lives. As I've said in the past, it is strange that if any question is about anything other than the Bible no-one says a word as soon as a question comes up that in some way brings in Christianity or the Bible, you and a few others suddenly complain, yet every other religious questions are ok, Really strange, and I'm sad for you.

God formed the rainbow in the Bible, and God's number for "completeness" is 7.

Teo Sinclair, The `Dark Ages`? Your ignorance is shocking!

Seven colours, Seven Kingdoms, Seven Hells, the Seven Gods of Westeros, Secret Seven, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, where does it end ? Next we’ll know is there’ll be a Thunderbird 7.
Now that I think about it I am the eldest of seven children, of dear !

Teo Sinclair - if anyone is still living in the Dark Ages you are. Nobody asked you to get up this morning and take a dump in my breakfast. Keep your bile to yourself. The world doesn't need any more misery.
And if you don't believe in God or some Higher Power - you're not paying attention!
