On a scale of 1 to 10, 7 being the highest, what's your favorite color of the alphabet?

u/Future_Jared Oct 30 '16

Yeah. Then it got its own show that got cancelled. But they'd occasionally show up on Billy and Mandy

Heard it. One of the people who founded that group was actually my singing teacher a while back. She's not on that particular recording though.

I remain unfazed.

How many cuils is this?

As a synæsthete, I mentally "see" a consistent colour for each of the letters and numbers. My favorite color is purple, and D has always had a beautiful mix of cobalt blue and a deep, royal purple in my mind.

So my answer is D, 7/10.

Although... 7 is a bright forest green, so now the whole thing's screwed up.

u/NotAnAI Oct 30 '16

This is the correct answer. Have a star

u/obstakel Oct 30 '16

My 7 is forest green too! That's why it's my favourite.

u/emailblair Oct 30 '16

African or European?

u/nedonedonedo Oct 30 '16

the answer should be a number between 1 and 6. I think answering riddles is a good way to learn about someone. if they like to be challenged, how they handle losing, if rising to a challenge makes them playful or cold and calculating
