@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I'm always impressed at how fast the high rep users can go through all of the resources on this site.

@Mitch Yes! I have a student asking about this, and I've been sifting through the site for an hour trying to dig it up. Thank you!

Does anybody have a link to the bar graph that was "stickied' a few years ago that represented verb tenses in relation to where they took place in the past/present/future?

@Gilles if we wait until tomorrow, the nye Party will devour the poor tree.
Dec 31, 2013 21:04
And now I've been called away by the powers that be to dismantle a Christmas tree. L'ennui.

Merry redgreengoldblue!
Dec 20, 2013 19:19
Let's continue this later. Must run.
Dec 20, 2013 19:18
Those are all greys and reds.
Dec 20, 2013 19:17
I see it like that, to a degree, but I know it's not the same. My mind recognizes the gap.
Dec 20, 2013 19:16
No. None.
Dec 20, 2013 19:16
We started with letter sexing.
Dec 20, 2013 19:15
@Transmissionfrom You've got to trace this chat back a ways.
Dec 20, 2013 19:15
No. Numbers have colors, but mostly counting shapes. My wife sexes the letters.
Dec 20, 2013 19:14
I get a random color here and there, but it's not as heightened. When I looked at aleph, I saw a mix of colors.
Dec 20, 2013 19:13
I don't see letters the way I see numbers.
Dec 20, 2013 19:11
In the hat. It's red.
Dec 20, 2013 19:10
It's more of an enlightenment. An awakening, even.
Dec 20, 2013 19:10
the negative gives yellow?
Dec 20, 2013 19:07
@Transmissionfrom No. If I think about it they don't. THey drain color.
Dec 20, 2013 19:05
I don't see 42 as red. it's blue-ish.
Dec 20, 2013 18:45
@tchrist that's closer to six.
Dec 20, 2013 18:43
Wow. It could never be biege for me.
Dec 20, 2013 18:40
Please, interrupt. I'm tripping out on seven over here.
Dec 20, 2013 18:38
Yes. With counting. But the system is organic or subconscious.
Dec 20, 2013 18:37
@Cerberus I agree. For me, it's an irrational way to deal with concrete units.
Dec 20, 2013 18:35
it's purple right now.
Dec 20, 2013 18:35
it defies a lot of classifications. i can't grasp it.
Dec 20, 2013 18:35
seven is a very difficult number for me, i realize.
Dec 20, 2013 18:34
expanding synaesthesia.
Dec 20, 2013 18:34
yes. balanced.
Dec 20, 2013 18:33
any relationship between evens and odds?
Dec 20, 2013 18:33
indeterminate. many.
Dec 20, 2013 18:32
It's the one and zero.
Dec 20, 2013 18:32
Only instance of that I can think of.
Dec 20, 2013 18:32
My 100 would be checkered, black and white.
Dec 20, 2013 18:32
That's fun. Maybe I can do that too. I have to break down the colors better first. I don't see them as components.
Dec 20, 2013 18:31
Oh, so you can mix them like paint.
Dec 20, 2013 18:30
Sure. Anything else? 100?
Dec 20, 2013 18:29
Anything white?
Dec 20, 2013 18:29
I see three as orange. Very richly orange. Six is a mustard yellow. Maybe the factor of two has something to do with it.
Dec 20, 2013 18:28
Mainly adding, come to think of it.
Dec 20, 2013 18:27
It's only adding and subtracting. I think because I learned multiplication tables rote.
Dec 20, 2013 18:26
Yes. But not always. Seven is three lines. Four is four lines. Points on the line come into play sometimes.
Dec 20, 2013 18:25
It's all based on counting.
Dec 20, 2013 18:25
Yes. Exactly.
Dec 20, 2013 18:25
Same as nine, but they're more like dots. Probably owing to the smaller value.
Dec 20, 2013 18:24
Nine are horizontal lines.
