Then report back, being honest (can you do that?).

I got 76, but not sure what it actually means

I got 18, for what it's worth.


Just for the Hell of it, I got a 4.


Gosh... got a zero. It took me some time to figure out that it meant that
all 4 rows were correct.

But I have to admit that I'm a photographer and use a triniton CRT monitor,
callibrated with the Spyder Pro device.

Those pastel hues are a nightmare on flat screens, so anyone with less than
10 errors is completely excused...

Even on a non-triniton CRT monitor it will be very very hard to see.


I wouldn't excuse them at all. If you only saw how low-contrast this old
burnt CRT monitor is that I'm using for surfing. An old Gateway EV910 on
its last legs. They almost looked all gray to me this time when I went
there. Knowing it was going to be a real challenge this time when I saw the
test again. I thought I should see what happens anyway, and as a test for
this monitor. Still, I got 0 wrong and it only took about 3-4 minutes to
sort them.

Sorry, even the quality of the monitor is no excuse.
