what comes next

[Roobeedoo]

this is my last one on the IRHH quiz can you help?

what comes next in the sequence:-

A.C.E.M .....

[gen2]

D-H if these are Prime Ministers

or

N if you look at the height of lower-case letters
acemnorsuvwxz
are those with a minimum height

[Roobeedoo]

Thanks Gen2
food for thought on size of letters.... never have thought of that!

[smouse]

I thought of that gen2 but I presume that means you wouldnt coat the i cos of the dot.
I've gone for the prime minister option so bet thats wrong choice - lol

[gen2]

The correct definition of the height of those letters is 'x-height' and yes smouse, the i doesn't count.

see here (and elswhere)

[smouse]

see now I have to make a decision - lol

[lynroo]

Have you got the simile - As S as a H?

Thanks

Attlee
Churchill
Eden
Macmillan

Next one is Douglas-Home

As strong as a horse.

[fordward]

As Safe as Houses

[squarebear]

But that would be "as S as H" rather than "as S as a H"

[fordward]

point taken

[smouse]

good job you asked that as I had as safe as houses
back to the drawing board - if I find it I'll come back

[smouse]

back
can find as safe as a house
or as salt as a herring

[smouse]
