0 Guest Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 ok can someone show me how they got to that answer? I tried taking the red words and taking them from the mixed up letters, and i got nothin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Molly Mae Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Sure. It takes the first letter of each word. So Roses Are Red, the first three letters are RAR. If we were to continue with just rOses aRe rEd, we'd add ORE, the next letters. After catching the pattern, I used a lot of trial and error to come up with the below by "stacking" the words. So TINFLABTTULA (the first part of the sequence) becomes the first letters of all of our words. The tricky parts are determining how many words there are and when a word ends (sometimes). Luckily, the word IS is shorter than the word THE, so I figured the first word had to be there. And I built around that. After the third letters in each word were placed, though, it all lined up pretty easily.
