(choose chapter or problem)

Stare at a piece of colored paper for 45 s or so. Then lookat a plain white surface.

This is because the fatigued cones send a weakersignal to the brain. All the colors produce white, but all thecolors minus one produce the color that is complementary tothe missing color.
