    Well now, that wasn't very challenging for you now, was it? :P

    2. Raven + ? =

    Ding, ding, ding!!!!!!!

    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! Peac0cks can be found showing their colourful wares, which look fantastic when viewed with our ultraviolet torch.

    *****personal note the filter censored the second half of Peac0cks! LOL So the 0 is not a hint to the teaser, simply me getting around the filter so the brainteaser doesn't look weird.

    Found the color "red" twice....wasn't sure if that counted as two colors or one. There may be one more color hidden in there, but I couldn't find it. :confused:

    Nope, there's one more color. Hint, it's in the first sentence.

    Bingo!


    For each group below, fill in the blanks with two words that differ only by their first letter.

    1. Stop thinking over here. Go _ _ _ _ _ _ over _ _ _ _ _ _.

    2. An untrained person could be killed in these woods, but there is little _ _ _ _ _ _ for a _ _ _ _ _ _.

    3. Writing an "A" on your dish rag would make it a _ _ _ _ _ with a _ _ _ _ _.

    1. Stop thinking over here. Go ponder over yonder

    2. An untrained person could be killed in these woods, but there is little danger for a ranger.

    3. Writing an "A" on your dish rag would make it a towel with a vowel.
