The same thing happened to me with my AME. A few years ago I went on a quest to investigate which color vision test I could pass. This process was a bit costly and time consuming but totally worth it. Click to expand.Yeah, I don't doubt that, but my test is always the same. I've never memorized them because I can see them.

I've also know people who memorize line three. That also seems to be the same but I just put on the cheaters and do it legit.
