Come to think of it, if you had that "see numbers with colors" quirk and were able to recognize the "42", would you see the colors of the component numbers, or the colors of the 4 and the 2?
Moon◊It varies.
Synesthesia is freaking weird man, and presents in a multitude of almost unique ways. My brother knew a girl who smelled different things when she heard certain sounds. Gave her close to perfect pitch in some situations, but smelling blood every time you hear most minor chords probably isn't quite worth it.

"The marvel is not that the Bear posts well, but that the Bear posts at all."I heard of copper
and rust. The latter is hardly surprising, since human blood contains iron in some ionic or oxydized form, giving it its red hue...

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Having tasted blood from cold sores and such before (it's as painful as it sounds), yeah, it's a fairly salty, coppery taste.
Moon◊Randal's right, it's annoying when you see clues of something but it ends up being something else entirely.
I'm not too shabby so far, got 8000-ish, 5000-ish and 10000-ish. But when you see stuff written in Italian, you assume that's its in Italy, right?
Wrong, it's one of the thousands of Little Italy around the world!
went to try it out. random road in a forest, pine trees of some variety. i guessed canada, it was finland.
and for my sake, the south korea-alaska one was a random camp with no roads out.

I'm baaaaaaackHm. 9340 points. It's kind of a pain when there's nothing that really sticks out or you can tell what country it is but the country just magically happens to be 'somewhere in Russia.'
A lot of areas are really overrepresented. I have yet to come across any place in Africa or anywhere in Europe that's not Poland, Russia or Spain, but have tons of great plains stuff, Mexico and Australia.

just got one in africa. and another that I THOUGH was africa but turned out to be the MIDDLE OF AUSTRALIA.
also got one on a boat. at first i was all ?!?!?!?!?! then noticed some huts and guessed it was in brazil. (guessed on the wrong river-system though, somehow i missed the amazon)
Also, my latest random road was running along just fin when the pictures ended in a dead end in the middle of some shady looking area so i can only assume the google map people were killed and their car stolen.

Also, the words "COMBINATION VISION TEST" as a giant sideways 1.
