- SearchResearch Challenge (6/21/17): Seeing things? Seeing is complicated and subtle. Of course, it works really well most of the time. We see colors, textures, print, cats, people, silver moonlight on the river, smiles, and that expression from your beloved. But sometimes vision gets more complicated than we'd like.
