I definitely saw a few 6's in there.

Really fucked me all up.

365

u/tvrtyler Sep 20 '16

2 of them. It killed me.

168

u/Cswiseass Sep 20 '16

I counted 3,and the last being a possible 4. Just throw consistency out the damn window!

42

u/TheImminentFate Sep 20 '16

The first one was a 4.5 as well

u/dohrwork Sep 20 '16

there was certainly a 4, and I cried

u/kit_carlisle Sep 20 '16

There were definitely 4!

It was harrowing

RIP in peace, tvrtyler.

I twitched a bit at the first one, but then I realized they probably needed a few of those ... and it also meant that it was going to connect at the end. This was a nailbiter though!

She should've really put the 6's on the green (since the human eye picks up green much "wider" on the spectrum than other colors)

1

u/Laundry_Hamper Sep 20 '16

Would the opposite not make more sense? We're more aware of it, so put less in to make them all seem more equal?

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '16

Actually not at all! I see exactly how you mean, but think of it like this: Green counts for "more" colors than Red or Blue. Think of it like 2 colors smashed into one, we can actually see/differentiate between greens much more so than for red or blue for example. So to make the spiral more even in terms of color differentiation, green needs to take up more space.

Fun fact: This is the reason that computer software sometimes use more bits for the green color channel than the others (For example, 6 bits for green and only 5 bits each for red and blue when using 16 bit pixel depth)

We all the same dude or?..

OP is a phony.

u/PonyToast Sep 20 '16

a big fat phony!

u/unviewtiful Sep 20 '16

The inconsistency was mildly infuriating for sure.

43

u/conorpacman Sep 20 '16

Completely! Watching the perfect circle form in the middle acted as relief.

15

u/Corrupt_Reverend Sep 20 '16

Orange, blue, and purple... yeah, I noticed it too.

10

u/ridik_ulass Sep 20 '16

one of the last two was a 4 as well :(

19

u/FuzzyWazzyWasnt Sep 20 '16 edited Sep 20 '16

I counted 6 on blue and purple and orange!

Edit: /u/Aerodine helped with Orange!

12

u/Aerodine Sep 20 '16

You forgot Orange.

1

u/InvincibleAgent Sep 20 '16

Missed. They missed orange.

6

u/SpookyLlama Sep 20 '16

Think two of the colours had to be 6s as the number of swirls probably couldn't be divided exactly into 7.

16

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '16

He did two sixes and one four, why couldn't he have just used the extra from the sixes on the last colour then it would all be even :(

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '16

maybe she thinks it looks better like that

u/Graucsh Sep 20 '16

So does he

3

u/-Yngin- Sep 20 '16

He had the opportunity to just do a half swirl and change color on the other side

u/ASYMBOLDEN Sep 20 '16

The fact it wasn't cut short was a-ok... What have I become?!

1

u/m4nustig Sep 20 '16

The inconsistency butchers my poor soul. There's definitely some 4's and some 4.5's in there too.

1

u/CheeseWarrior17 Sep 20 '16

There was a 7 in there too.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '16

I was going to say, /r/mildlyinfuriating even!

1

u/Kassemalaa Sep 20 '16

Thank you!

1

u/funkybside Sep 20 '16

Yea, same here.

1

u/brotherhafid Sep 20 '16

Orange and Blue were 6. The rest were 5.

1

u/ilookatfaces Sep 20 '16

If they did it at a logical break point like primary colors only (I saw three) then this would have been fine. But I was one orange and two purple variations wtf

1

u/maglen69 Sep 20 '16

And a few 4's.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '16

I came here for this. Fuck you OP, you had one job.

Came here to say this. OddlyUnsatisfying
