Help
Hello again folks!! This is the last theorem I have left unsolved, is this an 11 letter anagram? one word or phrase? can you use the same letter twice? tried all different mixtures with no results. I think my color perception is bad,
any help is warmly welcomed. Thanks.

Well, it's eleven letters. But you don't have to anagram.
It's critical that you be able to distinguish the colors, though. How many different colors do you think are in the diagram?

There are twelve colors. So you are not distinguishing all of them. (Some are very similar so I can imagine that it would be hard for someone who is even slightly color-blind.)

i and y are indeed reddish -- I would have said reddish-brown. He is a dark green. R is a grey blue. U is brown...

But you found eleven interesting letters, right? (Because you asked if it's an eleven letter anagram.) And you know to pay close attention to the colors of those letters. If you have questions about those colors, ask away! (The letters you asked about are not among the interesting letters, so if you thought they were you are on the wrong track.)

Baffled King!!! thank you for answering so fast. I'm under the assumption that each number is a letter and each word is a letter based on the color of the first letter. Ex. bacon is a letter that is green,so i have 7 choices ????
Thanks. Ying

You have the right idea, Ying. But there are fewer than 7 choices. For 'bacon', green, yes, but the very specific shade of green is important.

 		He said Dobbies would use Northern
He said Dobbies would use Northern Ireland suppliers as far as possible — "it makes commercial sense" — and a horticultural buyer will visit Northern Ireland next week to meet growers at a trade fair. An autumn opening would bring practical benefits. "Opening in the autumn is good from one point of view as it's a time when people are planting and tidying up the garden, and we are also a destination at Christmas time for trees and decorations.

Happy Thanksgiving Baffled King!!! you said that the shade is important but,
there are seven different shades of green or seven letters for bacon, so it could be b e g....... how do you know which is correct? trial and error? Thanks Ying

No, there are not seven shades of green. There are three.

The critical point is that there is only one other letter that is exactly the same color as the 'b'.

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

Got it
Thanks Baffled King!!!!! Finally got the solution,but I made it harder than it was, I thought you could not use the same letter twice and I was looking for one word. Patience is a Virtue.

 		I have color-blindness and I am having a great degree of difficulty with this one. I grouped the letters/numbers into 14 colors and I'm sure I have some colors grouped with other colors. Also with the rules, since bacon bits and brownies all start with B, then all the letters in those words become the color of B? And I can't even tell what color B is anyway. I have BEGJ as the same color, whatever that is.

B and E are one shade, J and G are another. (Both are green but the G and J shade is a little bluer and a lot brighter than the B and E shade.)

 		Thank you, TBK. Still not sure what to do with the changing colors. A, I, N change colors 3 times.

 		For those with trouble distinguishing the various shades, ...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
... here's a list of the characters grouped by color (named as I see them; what I call them is insignificant):
A - L (gray)
B - E (olive)
C - K - 3 (yellow)
D - X - 1 (beige)
F - N - P - 7 (dark blue)
G - J (green)
H - Q - Z - 4 (teal)
I - Y (chestnut)
M - 9 (light blue)
O - 0 (lavender)
R - 8 (blue-gray)
S - 2 (purple)
T - V (orange)
U - 6 (brown)
W - 5 (red)

To solve Synesthesia, you'll need the associations above, as well as the two rules M states in his flavor text. The first of the two rules indicates only the first letter of a word is relevant, while the rest of the word is not.


BTW, Adventurik, I'm not sure what you mean by "changing colors".

 		What I meant by changing colors is that A I N are in different words of different colors. N is in Brownies and Vanilla and And. So trying to figure out what color those letters are supposed to be is a bit baffling.
