    Exclamation Question 328 - RESOLVED

    Can you find the eleven hidden colours in the following paragraph:


    Many injured animals are invited to live at the 'Toronto Range'. Stop in kangaroo corner and marvel at the lovely creatures within. Dig over the potato patch to find small furry caterpillars, but don't yell! Owls can be found swooping for edible rodents, earwigs or perhaps bluebottles in the undergrowth. The brown bear, Rob, lacks grace and may look like an ogre, enter at your own risk! Peacocks can be found showing their colourful wares, which look fantastic when viewed with our ultraviolet torch.


    Copy the text and highlight the colours you find.


    1 point per colour found.

    123
    +23
    146

    ..then when I am talking about the first digit I would be referencing the first digit on the right because all rows have a first digit. If I did it the regular way from left to right, then the first digit in the middle row would line up with the second digits in the top and bottom rows... harder to explain and possibly more confusing...

    Of course, I'm just making all this up in hopes of getting more points...

    All right.


    Everyone who has not done so should edit their posts so that their answers are like 3FSS or RIOT's.

    Please make the answers bold too, for clarity's sake.


    Thanks.
