0 Guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) I think that it really has something to do with "spelling it out" as Yoruichi-san put it. It may also be the wavelengths of the colors of light... one - white - 1(1) four - yellow - 2(2) nine - green - 3(3) eight - orange - 4(2) twenty five - purple - 5(5) eighteen - other green - 6(3) forty nine - red - 7(7) sixteen - cyan - 8(2) twenty seven - purple - 9(3) fifty - white - 10(5) one hundred twenty one - - 11(11) Edit: Added the second part of the first spoiler Edited July 17, 2008 by Trogdor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also be the wavelengths of the colors of light... Yes and yes. Actually I call the color of (9) "yellow-green" and the color of (18) "green" and the color of (16) "green-blue". Also, if you notice, in post #10 I didn't say the color of (1) and (50) was "white" but used a different term instead...(hidden hint, anyone? ;P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'll wait for the explanation later, because right now I totally don't get what you've done there. [hence i'm referring to every part] Ok, I am not very sure as I only guessing. Yoruichi-san has mentioned before that is c(n) and a(n) but not c(a(n)) ? and put what Trogdor suggested: c(1) = white, but Yoruichi-san said nope, and I suppose it shoud be 'invisible' c(2) = yellow and so on then why c(5) and c(9) are purple? and why c(1) and c(10) are invinsible? so right now what I can think of is : 5 (five) and 9 (nine) are xixe and are purple 1 (one) and 10 (ten) are 3 letters with 'n'&'e' and so invisible and it is something related to how the number written in word. so 11 (eleven) similar with 7 (seven) = red 12 (twelve) similar with 2 (two) = yellow 13 (thireen) similar with 3 (three) = yellow-green and so on. Anyway, I am just guessing because I myself not really convinced with what I found. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[hence i'm referring to every part] Okay, well, if you look back at post 29, basically Trogdor had figured out several important clues, and I made the other important clue very clear...also woon in his last post was totally on the right track, so combine what they did and you should be able to get it...

0 Guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Lol...um...I think you're off by a little... c(11) -------> 630 hence is orange c(12) -------> 870 hence is red to infrared c(13) -------> 990 almost infrared c(14) -------> 1,040 infrared c(15) -------> 650 hence red, as per c(7) -----> 650 I am based on the table provided from wikipedia, so maybe the range is off by little?

Lol...so am I, and color wavelength interval frequency interval red ~ 700–630 nm ~ 430–480 THz orange ~ 630–590 nm ~ 480–510 THz yellow ~ 590–560 nm ~ 510–540 THz green ~ 560–490 nm ~ 540–610 THz blue ~ 490–450 nm ~ 610–670 THz violet ~ 450–400 nm ~ 670–750 THz Transition values I call a combination of the two, i.e. 630 I call red-orange, like I had yellow-green...values above 700 are infrared (not visible), values below 400 are ultraviolet (also not visible). Also, I was actually confused because you wrote 121 in yellow...not orange But good job solving the puzzle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I was actually confused because you wrote 121 in yellow...not orange But good job solving the puzzle! Thanks. and The combination of yellow-green and green-blue is the great hint when I look at the table and observe that the color are so happen located just next to the other one. That's increase my confidence level of the path of thinking and start working on it. Your second hint of "Spell it out" complete the missing link in my thinking path. Anyway, I referred to this table and so, the range for each color are not clear so I though between 700 to 1000 still red. The 121 is in fact in orange but because I didn't boldface the font, it looks so thin and yellowish already But this is a great puzzle! Feel great to solve it !
