  1. i missed number 8, selecting 24 was not the quiz answer.

    But this is a great quiz overall, lots of fun! thanks – i like the list you started with of eye facts. 10 million colors seem like a lot until we realize that a computer can generate more than 250 million colors and we don’t see all of them!

    1
  2. There are three questions that are out of proportion.
    No. 1 the answer given isn’t correct. It’s supposed to be men are more colour blind than females.
    7. I provided the answer. The most common human colour is brown.
    8. A jellyfish has 24 eyes.
    And, I forgot to generate results.
