Red Beats Blue!

News we hope we can use from the Chronicle of Higher Education:

Observing that athletes who wore red uniforms in the 2004 Olympics were more likely to win when competing against athletes wearing blue uniforms, researchers at the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, in Romania, decided to pit the two colors against each other. They compared the performances of red and blue teams in virtual multiplayer shooting games and found that red won nearly 55 percent of the matches.

Let’s hope Red gets 55% of the vote in upcoming competitions with Blue.

Say What?
