One obvious flaw is that--for example--pure blue is 440nm, and you get that on the display by showing only bright blue pixels with no red or green. It is impossible to show a bluer color than that on your RGB display. Anything to the left of that on the chart would be "bluer", meaning it has even less green and red than 440 does, but you are already at the limit of the display, which demarcates the limit of you monitor's color gamut. Adding red in, as the chart does, makes no sense.

So essentially, your dominant hand would count up to twelve using the bones on your fingers of that same hand.
On the other hand (This entire comment is worth it for that pun), your non-dominant hand would count the number of times you reached 12 while counting, or the multiple of 12 to use. So two fingers on the offhand would be equivalent to 24, while three of the offhand and 3 bones on the dominant hand would be 2(12)+3 = 27.
At least, that was my understanding from the Wikipedia page.

Count the single digits on the 'smart hand', second digit on the slower hand, is my guess.

I got all the top 10 and was 3 short of the top 37. Also got a number of rare ones for remembering the fictional birthplaces of tv characters (like Radar from MASH was from Ottumwa, Iowa)
Blanked on anything from Nebraska, South Carolina, and New Hampshire. Guess I’ll have to turn in my geography nerd badge.

I got 177 by thinking of college and pro sports teams and the cities of states I've lived in. What a fun little game!
I got 9/10 biggest cities but have no earthly clue what the remaining one might be.

777 is the color of blood. Blood of Christ?
Coincidence?!

Got to 100. Named 9 out of 10 cities over 1 million and just under 20% of the urban population.

This is really cool! I did a pretty city job, but it was still fun :)

I could name them all, but there is no point, seeing as they already have names.

That animation at 1:58 is absolutely amazing for understanding the shape.

So without looking if you're buying LEDs and they're listed as 452nm do you know what is?
Or if you're trying to match a product that already has lights, can you tell the shop what shade you need?

Looked ok to me when I turned off night mode on my screen. Very cyan before that

I've been increasing the frequency by one and haven't noticed any changes!
