0 grey cells Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 OK. I will post a hint as there have been no replies so far. The answer can be found without using the hint.So try first and then view it , as the hint may give away too much. Try to remember the basics of electronics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 The answer is Y for Yellow The risistor color code goes like this: Black =0 Brown =1 Red =2 Orange =3 Yellow =4 Green =5 Blue =6 Violet =7 Grey =8 White =9 Thats the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent the whole morning over this and different colours was the only thing that struct me as a possible solution, but all I was wondering was which sequence (there are three B's, two G's ) Didn't know about this resistor colour coding at all... I looked up the Periodic table, the ten provinces of Canada, Presidents of US, to mention a few, besides colours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I remember right such a verse is called a mnemonic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
