Broken TV?
Science brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Xavier and Rex each own a television. They watched the exact same programme at the exact same time. However what looked like white on Xavier's television looked yellow on Rex's. In this case, what color would cyan, on Xavier's, look like on Rex's, and why?

Posted by wizofaus on Mar 09, 2006 Intended answer was obvious enough, but I wonder with regular CRT TV's if it's truly possible for all the blue lights to simultenously die. Digital TV's perhaps, as I suspect it's possible for the "blue" signal carrier to get broken (cf. computer monitors when a pin is broken on the cable). |

Posted by OldChinaHand on Mar 27, 2006 More of a tormentor than a teaser. |

Posted by Winner4600 on May 30, 2006 Why all the negative comments? I thought it was interesting, although easy for me...  If you don't have something good to say, don't say it. You don't ALWAYS have to post a comment, you know!!! Great job, QuestionMark! |

Posted by bookworm91 on Apr 16, 2007 I thought this was good. I didn't get it, but I learned something. If some of you didn't like it, say WHY instead of just stating your dislike. ;) |

Posted by strehlow on May 03, 2007 Yes, all the blue can fail at once on a CRT. There is one electron gun for each of the primary colors. If any part of the processing circuitry fails for one of R, G, or B signal paths, that color will drop out of the picture completely. |
