    a puzzel [of sorts] for you

    Ok some of you might remember my post about quiz.tv last week, now i got a challange related to it

    One of the games on it is called 'count all the reds'



    'scuse the poor pic, taken with my fone

    the answer to that game is 133 - but what i need to work out is why

    ie how do they come up wiht 133 as the answer.

    The prize for winnnig is my respect and gratitude, along with the knowledge that you could win a load of cash from quiztv with the answer

    any help is appreciated

    Well I'd guess it'd be something to do with the word "red" appearing many times, either like this:
    * "red"
    Or like this:
    * "der"

    Possible the colours have something to do with it too. I could stay and look at it longer, but it's too early in the morning to be excersising the brain .

    Number of red characters? Number of not red characters?

    The sum of the number of red characters and the number of times the word "red" appears would be my guess, seems to be in the ballpark.

    hmmm, 12 red spelt forward, 4 backwards, 95 letters in red, 5 fullstops or commas.

    That still leaves 17 left to find...
    Now go away before I taunt you a second time.

    i get 101 red letters, full stops & commas

    so...
    101 x red chars
    12 x 'red'
    4 x 'der'
    4 x 'dre'
    1 x Rouge

    = 122

    11 to find
