Who can explain this equation? I'm not very good at algebra, so I'll just describe the equation.


7 minus 4 = 3
3 = 7

This is sometimes true and sometimes not. What is 7?

:? *ahem* as a fully certified "Liberal Arts major", I can most assuredly tell you what that forumla is. After all, any self-respecting student of literature knows formula fiction when he or she sees it. :wink:

Nah Snizzy,

You know I wade close to shore. :wink:

But, this may be out to sea a bit with what we usually think.

(and no, there's no clues in this post or subsequent posts. The first one is all you get :!: ) :)

I modified the original question to make it less "generic?"

In the first case 7 = 7. In the scond 7 = 11.

I think I may have gotten a little too abstract on this quiz. :?

Does this help?

Yes, that helps...I'll let someone else go for it.
Think of the spectral colors.

I was thinking of spectral colors, but none of them are seven letters long :? .

I guess this quiz was more difficult than I thought it would be, or just lack of interest. Regardless, if you read this page link, you'll have the answer to the quiz.

Notice the color coding in the last clue.
