@me: "Hi,
I created a very simple flash puzzle.
Its @ free.virginmedia.binaries.test and its called Wheres The Cat.swf
See if you can solve each photo in a min or under a minute.
It took me a while, over a minute, until I trained my eyes to
systematically search for the clue.
What method do you use?
Press the "Click Here To Solve" Button at the bottom of Wheres The
Cat.swf
Good Luck
Life is Good !!!"

Thinking about it, I could do one that works on pitch, and music notes
maybe?

It was a quick app I created, in low resolution.
Next time I will create it in High resolution.

Don't worry about it.  I was viewing on a relatively small screen at a 
fairly low resolution.
Anyway, I am partly colour blind and my eyes don't seem to work on those 
3D books, so perhaps I am not the best trial for your efforts.

    @Briang1: "Why? Does this include stereo sound? The point  a very serious point 
actually, is that so many people do not consider the blind person in any 
way. Next time you have to use a touch screen menu driven  device think 
about us, and wonder if the world is really only for the sighted!

    @Briang1: "Well as I'm not sure what it was all about I cannot advise. i suppose it 
would be obvious what you were doing if you could actually see it.
 To me problem solving is alll about affecting the parameters so the problem 
can be  brought down to a thought process you can understand. So if you are 
looking for a cat, then, rather than trying to find it byy looking you try 
to bring it to you. On the other hand if you are looking for an innanimate 
object then you need to figure out what properties other than what it looks 
like you might find being dectable to  find its hiding place. for example if 
you had one of those audio compasses you find in gliders, then you could 
find a hidden magnet. Probably less disruptive than throwing iron filings 
about the room.
 Was the original something to do with patern recognition in unusual colours 
or what?

    @Briang1: "Well I ask myself, is this a valid comment?
 Incidentally as I seem to also be known as Brain, I'vve signed one of my 
messages both ways.
As far as sound is concerned, there is c company who makes games for the 
blind, like shoot em ups based on sound via headphones.
 One has to remember with computers though that there is no drag  or drop on 
blind peoples machines, ie you move between objects in jumps which is often 
why flash applets embedded in web pages like the BBC one are so hard for us 
to use. Unless they contain some form of accessible api marker that a 
screenreader can 'see' then it clearly is non existent. Transparent falsh 
comes into this category as the new radio player reecently demonstrated and 
left large quantities of egg on face after launch.

    @me: "Brian,
I understand that this is a serious point, and I would never Joke
about anybody with any type of disability.
This little application does not have sound, but since you mentioned
it.
It was an after thought, after I posted the application.
I will look into the touch screen technology side of things, and how
someone could interact with it.

    @me: "Brian,
The original was a photo somebody sent me online, and thus I got
thinking.
Its the fact that some people can find the cat very quickly, and
others take a while.
I wondered why?
The strange thing is, that once you see the Cat, your eyes are drawn
to it straight away.
I ended up, dividing the photo into coordinates, and sytematically
annalysing each " Box " in the coordinate.
Thanks
