Have you nothing better to do ?
« on: March 21, 2010, 21:06:26 PM »
Below, 10 nine letter words have been broken into chunks of three letters. These chunks have been mixed up, no chunk is used twice and all chunks are used. Can you determine what the 10 words are?

Sorry Jim I've lost the answers so I can't tell you if you're right.

Only joking, you deserve to have a headache - it's not easy.

Sorry colourent is wrong, it's colourant.

The other 4 are correct Well done - should be easier for others now.
