Two Diversions

In the off chance you're getting bored with quilting and the other things you've been doing while confined to home, I'm sharing two diversions.

This first is The X-Rite Color Challenge and Hue Test.
This is a one-time activity -- unless you don't score perfectly the first time and you want to go back and try again.  The website says it's "a fun, quick way to better understand your color vision acuity."  It is surprising to me how dusty pink can transition to pea green; pea green to aqua/turquoise; and turquoise to lavender.  At least those are the colors I see on my screen.

The idea is to put the colors of each row in order by hue/tone.  The first and last colors are stationary but you move the blocks between by dragging them with your mouse.  When you're finished, click the "Score My Test" button.  They ask for your age and sex, then calculate your score.  No sign in, repeatable as often as you like.  It only takes a few minutes.

The second diversion is The New Yorker's Jigsaw Puzzle which are created from the magazine's covers.
There are three levels of difficulty, the harder having more pieces with images that are harder to determine from the small puzzle pieces.  I keep forgetting to count the pieces but I think there are between 24 and 48.  If you're competitive you'll appreciate the timer and the score at the end.  The ones I've done have taken less than 15 minutes but for you that will depend on how fast you are.

Okay, that's it.  Have fun.

I hope you and the people you love are happy, healthy, and staying at home if you can.   And I especially hope you're not bored!
