h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Another Grid!!

Full of colours and hues...................

But how does each group of four relate?????


GREY PLUM SULPHUR GOLD
SILVER BLACK YELLOW WHITE
SCARLET ORANGE COPPER BROWN
COBALT BLUE RED GREEN

Klaxons for the obvious!!!


Enjoy



GT

gold
silver
copper
cobalt
sulphur

are all elements

red
yellow
blue

are the 3 primary colours

black and white are not colours

Black and white are hues, Taff....

And the groupings are of four, not five!!!!

However, one group IS four elements!




GT

blue (azure), red (gules), green (vert), and black (sable) are the only ones in that list that are accepted colours in heraldry - white (argent) and yellow (or) are also tinctures, but they represent silver and gold so they're not colours, they're metals

And I believe another category is "fevers":

gold fever
yellow fever
scarlet fever
black fever (kala-azar)

Which would leave

silver
copper
cobalt
sulphur

as elements

Hi Mala!


Way off beam with Heraldry and fevers!! You are lucky the possibility did not occur to me, our you may have earned a klaxon!!!

But Silver, copper, cobalt and sulphur go together +3
Group is 'elements' +3

Well done.

What next????




GT

Blue
Brown
Orange
White

- "Mr" Characters from Reservoir Dogs

Also,

Professor Plum
Rev Green
Miss Scarlet
Dr Black

Are in cluedo (the latter is the murdered party)

This also overlaps with Miss White though...

<>Reservoir Dogs? I much prefer this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbrtamgx5IQ </>

Sorry, Mala!

Correction to score so far. Taff beat you to 'elements grouping in post 2. He therefore gets the grouping score, you are correct on the four though.

Masaqui....Not resevoir Dogs, sorry!!
But 'Cluedo' is the group, and you have the right four charactars!!
+3 for group, +3 for set..


Next please!!!

Only two groups to find now!!!



GT

I might be risking a klaxon, but Yellow, Gold, Blue and Black are all Top 10 singles.

B

Never knew that Mu Beta, so no klaxon......

But not right either!!!!!




GT

That's two interesting facts in this thread, and rather than passing on points, you're complaining that you didn't get to use a klaxon?

Klaxons are for obvious or boring answers, not just for wrong answers.

Not complaining, Psycorp!!

My comments are all tongue-in-cheek!!

Any points I think relevant WILL be added when the grid is solved....




GT

Another one bites the dust!!

And here is the solution.....

Group 1.

White, Brown, Grey, Blue.

This group is related to Wizards mentioned in the works of J.R.R.Tolkein.........We all know Saruman the White, Gandalf the Grey, and Radagast the Brown; but there were two other Wizards, referred to in Unfinished Tales as the Blue Wizards, who travelled to the far East of Middle Earth. Their names were Alatar and Pallando.

Group 2.

Yellow, Orange, Red and Gold.

These are aso the names of Rivers.

Group 3.

Black, Scarlet, Green and Plum.

These are all charactars in the board game of 'Cluedo'
Dr. Black was the victim.

Groupm 4.

Silver, Copper, Cobalt, Sulphur.

These are all elements.
