I've got no idea what you are talking about!

[Mamyalynne]

You have explained it perfectly, sorry I don't have the answer.

Here's the original thread.

I understand the question, now, but have no idea of the answer.

All I can see is a kind of pattern with the first four colours if you use the colours of thr rainbow in their correct order.
RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE INDIGO, VIOLET
Jump (two) colours from red to arrive at green, followed by blue. Then jump (three) colours to arrive at orange.... Then what ??
As for the colours that Red, Green, Blue and orange are written in, I haven't got a clue ??

[Tuvok]

I've even tried creating the qestion in the colours stipulated and still stuck!

My initial thoughts were that it was the mixing of primary colours - but it doesn't seem to work!

[Tuvok]

Another thought that its something to do with this - but again can't see it

I can see a sort of sequence giving the next colour to be Purple written in Black, but Green written in Green causes a problem.

Red overruled by Blue
Blue '''''''''' '' Orange
Orange '''''''''' '' Purple
Purple ''''''''' '' Black

Not very good but it partly fits.

Very IFFY but
I suspect Red (written in green)

If you look at the colouring of the "google" logo, it goes
Blue, red, orange, blue, green, red
Reversed this = RGBORB
Therefore after Red Green Blue Orange it should be RED next

As the only answer red, is written in green, that is what I would go for. Answer a)

But I can't say this is right!

[mallyh]

what is the theme of the local quiz ?

[grumpee]

thanks all for your help - there's no theme to the quiz unfortunately.

Will update the Answer as soon as I know

[Davemano]

The suggestion by jj at 00.12 seems feasible although I would say that one of the Google O's is Yellow not Orange.
