Gentlemen, gentlemen! I am forced to point out that all of the above convolutions were utterly unnecessary. It matters not how many Indians there are, or whether any of them know each other...if you use my question. . MY answer was to ask each Indian, "Are both of your feet the same color?", whereupon the liar would have to say no.[taking a bow, having scored one for the ladies]

And yes, tsuwm, I feel sure that milum is laughing in his whatever. And milum, you called ME a devil!

Are both of your feet the same color?

I still like milum's answer better. It will get the desired result even if the Indian questioned thinks that his feet are slightly different colors.

Ah, but what if the Indian had recently been walking barefoot in the grass, hmmmm?

"We are colorful speakers in my family"
So's Alex, when he gets too wild with those markers... That was great.

(Golly, I wish colors would copy, here; sorry, C, but I'm not about to go to all the trouble you did.)

I thought for a moment that if you view the post as "source" and then copy-and-paste, it would reproduce the multicolored text. Alas, as you can see above, it didn't give the desired result...

edit: Is there perhaps a prefix I should have used that would make it work?

Take the soure text(above, or from where ever) copy it, dump it into a word processor (word, word perfect, what ever) and then from edit use find and replace..
find <font color= and replace with [
find > and replace with ]
finc </font color= and replace with [
(wierd, it won't bold the < or > signs!)

It should be pretty quick...

for fast colors, type out (in word pad or some simple text editor)
{red} {/red} (with square brackets, i forget the code.)
and repeat for all the colors...save the file, and open it when ever you want to use a lot of color.

then you can copy and paste the code and just drop the letters into the space..

(i do it line by line, and then edit out the spaces..)
{red}C{/red}
{blue}o{/blue}
{green}l{/green}
{orange}o{/orange}
{purple}r{/purple}

is how i enter the text, and
then I use delete to delete the unseen, but still there "enter" at the end of each line,, press End, to get to the end of the string, , delete, and so on...
{red}C{/red}{blue}o{/blue}green}l{/green}{orange}o{/orange}{purple}r{/purple}
to get Color

I wish there were a special code: You know: simple: Like: "Random Rainbow Effect/Code Z"

Then the computer would just randomly put a lot of cool colors in so I wouldn't have to worry about memorizing a lot of directions that I know I will never memorize. I mean, typing in bracket, red, other-bracket is one thing--that you almost don't have to remember...

But the process of Troy just generously described for us I will never go to the trouble of learning unless some very weird situation developed...

Thanks, anyway, of Troy!

Basic regards,
WordLaze That's the computer program I wish someone would write: Word Laze!
