Down The Rabbit Hole

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” “She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)”

Since you are the only one who even tried the quiz last week, and I am VERY sorry for not posting the answers like I said I would (bad Alice, bad).

During a crazy weekend of paintball, four friends were having great fun. The paint came in blue, green, yellow and red. Coincidentally, the four friends had T-shirts in those same colours. Brenda used blue paint balls. The person in the green T-shirt used yellow paint balls. James was not wearing a red T-shirt. Diane used green paint balls and wore a blue T-shirt. Simon was the only person who used paint which was the same colour as his T-shirt. Can you tell which colour paint they each used and the colour of their respective T-shirts?


Name Wore Paint
Simon red red
Brenda yellow blue
James green yellow
Diane blue green

Hey, Alice. I didn't try the quiz, 'cause I had absolutely no clue, whatsoever! But I do like the "Silence" one.

As for the html to link other blogs, if you want to exchange AIM sn's and/or emails, I'll help you out. I don't know about you, but I don't really want to post it here. So if you want to, or if you think of another way. ;)

My brain hurts from reading the answers. Which means that the questions would have left me lost for days.
