Waste of memory space.

Isn't it sort of like, Optics? I mean, in school, we're learning about the colors and stuff that make up white light, and (it's kind of stupid, really) but I think we had to know the order of the colors of the rainbow (so like, the colors that make up white light) on a test. (But I guess that information doesn't usually appear on a test, does it?)

we all know it is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pot of gold

well, if we are going to fix it
Fix'd

Three things
Apparently not all of us know.
I am doubtful of the pot of gold.
And monochrome rainbows are better than colored rainbows.

Optics:
Violet: 400-446 nm
Blue: 446-500 nm
Green: 500-578 nm
Yellow: 578-592 nm
Orange: 592-620 nm
Red: 620-700 nm

Where's Indigo?

This has gone way to far off topic
