Bryce Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 The ultimate brain traser: Is a red fire truck really red? :eh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_the_Bunny Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Uh, yes? Because if the fire truck isn't red, doesn't that mean it's just called a fire truck? And if it is red, then red fire truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unstream Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 But it could be blue or pink ^_^ hehehe Not really. See color is really light reflected from matter. That's why things are black when it's dark, because there's no light to reflect. And when you have something that's black, that means that material absorbs all of the light. So that means that a red firetruck would be red no matter what. It can't be pink or blue, since it absorbs all of the light that's that color. Plus if it were pink, they'd call it a pink firetruck, not a red one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenge Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Not much of a brain teaser. Frankly, it's more of a stupid question. Of course a red fire truck is red. :hmmph: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3l3ana Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 ^^^^^ *giggles* I must say I like readying your posts Revenge, they give me something to laugh about! And ofcourse I agree with Revenge, if a red fire truck wasn't red, then why would you call it a red fire truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
