UPDATE #4

I'm happy to report that Jim has agreed to contact "Raymond" and request the information we asked for. This is a positive step and will allow us to propose a meaningful test.

Jim's undertaking to do this is reproduced here:

"I cannot imagine why it is of any value to ask Raymond Hill if he is color blind. (Pretty sure I know the answer but will anyway).

Please explain what this has to do with the challenge made on the Magic Cafe. Why it is important to your ‘Test’ or my $5,000.00 Dark Truth Challenge.

Also wondering why my posts are being edited.

For instance the notification that all postings here were being cross posted to This thread http://magictalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=987.0 in their entirety .

I will request Slim King post this correspondence to the Magic Cafe In an attempt to move this along and not have my intent ‘interpreted’ by you before the public sees it.

Since you appear to have a fixation with Raymond Hill and I really cannot see why you do. I found your use of his name in your posts on the Café distasteful. (But we will cover that at another time).

Anyway I will do go to the trouble in a couple of days to contact Ray and ask about any possible Protanomaly, Deuteranomaly, Dichromasy, Protanopia or Deuteranopia.

For the record I do not.

Do you?

Not that it matters I guess anymore than if Ray does.

Since I have not scheduled a time to interact with Ray, it will be several days to get the superfluous information you are asking for.

Should have it posted by Thursday.

This will be the only time I request information of this nature from Raymond Hill on your behalf and am only doing it this time as a public display of good faith.

As I said I cannot see what it has to do with this challenge.

Best Wishes,

Jim"

We have ALREADY explained WHY we require this information. But will do so again.

The test will be designed to remove ambiguity from Jim's guess. In part, this will require the detection of one of THREE colors:. RED, BLUE or YELLOW. If we know that "Raymond" can clearly distinguish between these colors, then we can proceed.

Now is the time to find out before I get an "oh, he doesn't see yellow" excuse.

Jim, if "Raymond" CANNOT distinguish between these THREE colors can you ask him for ANY THREE COLORS that HE CAN CLEARLY DISTINGUISH between.
