Stupidly Hard Game For The Day

A simple premise: you’ve given a hex color value along with two color swatches, and you need to pick which swatch goes with the displayed color value. I only managed to get seven points. I suck.

Scored 14 first time (without cheating chandu!)
How? Well, just remember that hex codes are RR GG BB (red green blue): split the code up and see which is bigger (i.e. FF0033: is very red, not at all green and slight blue). And then just look for the picture which appears to correspond the most (i.e. with FF0033 I’d look for the redest one). 652C45 shows as being most red (65), then slightly Blue (45) and finally ever so slightly green (2C). Given a choice been a cyan and a magenta (reddish blue) – it’s the reddish blue one!

There is a bias towards the right colour box. If you click repeatedly as fast as you can on the right box you end up with a positive score at the end. If you click repeatedly as fast as you can on the left box, you end up with a negative score at the end.

Ha! I got +33. I am a genius. Or I just clicked the right box as fast as I could. One of the two.
