[Tilly2]

2 pink....not a secondary colour

[Tilly2]

or primary, for that matter :-)

[Tilly2]

type...the 'y' not pronounced as a short 'i'

[fiction-factory]

B C D F P T V
Answer is C. All the others are adjacent to a vowel in the alphabet

[fiction-factory]

C H K N O P S T
Possible P (others either have a line of reflection symmetry orwhen split in two have the same shape (but maybe the other way round)

[Tilly2]

...and P is the only one not adjacent to a consonant.


C H K N O P S T

[fiction-factory]

Didn't explain that very well. All apart from P has either one or more lines of reflection symmetry or has rotational symmetry of order 2.
(S and N are same upside down) P has neither

[fiction-factory]

Sorry, missed yours Tilly while I was tipping my screen upside down.
But P is next to S which isn't a consonant

[fiction-factory]

But maybe it is simply that O is the only vowel in the list

[Tilly2]

S is a consonant, FF.

[fiction-factory]

Typo- I meant S is a consonant!.

[Tilly2]

:-)

[fiction-factory]

I think we are just chatting among ourselves here, Tilly.

[Tilly2]

All right, not adjacent to...next to. O, P.

[Tilly2]

We'll get there eventually, FF. :-)

[fiction-factory]

You mean P is the only one on the list that is immediately after a vowel in that list or in the alphabet. I prefer O is the only vowel. But I also like my symmetry one

[Tilly2]

I wish I'd though of the symmetry one. I like symmetry, FF.

[Mara127]

thanks everyone,so what's the consensus O or P

[fiction-factory]

SƧ YY MM MM EƎ TT RЯ YY
On reflection, that didn't quite work.

[Tilly2]

10/10 for trying, FF. Well done.

O, Mara.
