jamesmark Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Was going to Sarahs gig and on the way there we were listening to BBC Nottingham they had a phone in quiz but we arrived at her gig before the answer, this was about 5 weeks ago only just remembered. Question:- What is the longest word that you can have using capitals only and those capitals you use can be coloured in and you must not repeat any letters. What is the word?

jamesmark Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Is it? I dunno. Looks like it tbh, as I said never heard the answer as they were letting it run till 9pm and we got there at just after 7pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Is it something to do with DNA? DNA uses coloured capitals and I know that one part of the DNA thing is 1900+ letters long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Isn't there only like four discrete letters in DNA strings though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Is it something to do with DNA? DNA uses coloured capitals and I know that one part of the DNA thing is 96 letters long. It was just a straight forward quiz as far as I am aware. As the DJ was all smug thinking no one would get it but someone text in before he got to play the next tune with the correct answer.
