Is seeing it as six a result of a misconception? Is it appreviated in print? On the web? Is it a reasonable assumtio that OEDILFers have seen it? Abbreviated it themselves?

Seen as: perceived by eyes? Understood? Heard by ears? Thought about? Are the relevant numbers visible? Spoken? Hidden? Does the way they're represented cause the discrepancy? Computers relevant? Other electronics? Statistics relevant? Probabilities? Games? Gambling? Cheese?

[Biograd1]

Is "it" a list of things in a certain category? and "abbreviated as" means that often only seven, or six, of these things are commonly mentioned, although there exist more?

Hi all!!!
Earnest is back

Is it abbreviated in written language? Spoken language? In a paint?
Is it abbreviated in official documents? Screens? Printed papers? Books? Newspapers? Every time one writes it?
It's the number of continents relevant? Is a convention relevant? Is biology/chemistry? Is the abbreviation in seven convenient? If so, because it prevents something to happen? Because it allows mathematical computations? Because it prevents some misunderstanding? are units of measures relevant?

more commonly seen as six = is it commonly seen: on houses addresses? on price tags? on airplanes? In public places? on phones? On dice? In signatures?
When abbreviated, is it seen as seven? "7"?"VII"? Is it seen as "6"? as "Six"? As "VI"? Can it be confused with a 9?

[GalFisk]

Rounding relevant? Time? Clocks? Money? Prices? Fractions? Decimals? The mental glitch that makes 6.99 feel significantly smaller than 7? Could it be abbreviated as 8 but seen as 7?

[Sundowner64]

Six or seven letters?

[JohnFriday]

Six or seven colours? If so, a rainbow?

[GalFisk]

ROYGBIV relevant? Indigo often not seen as a separate color relevant?

[Biograd1]

JohnFriday and Galfisk, you guys are clever with the title (at least I assume you got your guess from there)!

Six or seven letters? No

Six or seven colours? If so, a rainbow? Yes to both!

ROYGBIV relevant? Yes - that's the "abbreviated as seven" part Indigo often not seen as a separate color relevant? But not this

JohnFriday and Galfisk, you guys are clever with the title (at least I assume you got your guess from there)! You have indeed parsed the title!

Just missing one thing - where is it often seen as six?

[Sundowner64]

On flags?

[BalinTheDwarf]

On flags? Yes.

****SPOILER****

The rainbow is often memorized by the acronym ROY G BIV, indicating its seven colors. However, when seen on pride flags, it is displayed as six colors.

Delightful.
