+%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Questions %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+In you zip file you find a natural image called {\tt natimg.jpg}. 
+\begin{questions}
+
+  \question Load the image and extract all pixels as three dimensional
+  vectors (red, green, and blue channel). 
+  
+  \question Perform a principal component analysis on these
+  three-dimensional vectors.
+
+  \question Try to find a interpretation of the principal components
+  you find in terms of colors. Find a good way to visualize this. 
+
+  \question What could be the biological significance of that (\cite{BG} can
+  give you a clue)?
+
