Rainbow Quiz
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


All the answers in this quiz are associated with the seven colours of the rainbow.  The distribution between the colours is as even as it can be, given that there are 25 questions.

 

As in earlier quizzes, there is a mixture of trivia questions and cryptic clues.  I will post answers and a high-score table on 19 August 2001.  Good luck.
