What to wear

Would you believe that a German woman has baffled scientists by proving she can distinguish between colours by touch? Gabriele Simon showed her talent on Wetten dass, a popular TV series. While blindfolded, she used her fingertips to recognize different colours. The skill is the result of about 20 years of pure learning and concentration for Gabriele. There’s a very practical application too, now that she can tell colours by feel, she doesn’t need to ask her mother about what to wear anymore.
