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. |

7 minus 4 = 3 3 = 7 This is sometimes true and sometimes not. What am I? Hmmm....is this one of the crystal systems that GIA doesn't acknowledge? |

Nah Snizzy, You know I wade close to shore. 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?" |

I think I may have gotten a little too abstract on this quiz. Does this help? ROYGBIV = W |

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. http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/P ... 12l2d.html Notice the color coding in the last clue. |
