Daily puzzles/problems.

Ah, spelling thing. Figure billl did the main work if he wants to do next one.

I can try to get something together if you want, jajdude. I might take a little while, I don't have anything in mind. But it's the weekend, which sometimes doesn't see a lot of action with these, so maybe that's OK.

But if anybody wants to jump in with a puzzle, please feel free to do so.

[MarkBastable]

Here's an old-fashioned one.

Eleven books, five films and four songs with colours in the title. If it proves difficult, I'll tell you which is which. But given the likely colours, there aren't many choices as to which letter is the colour, so it might not be as trying as it looks.

Good start. I will just say that when you come to add up the songs and books and movies, you'll find that one of these, though it works, isn't right.

9. Riders of the Purple Sage

[Scheherazade]

It might be 'Blue Moon' that doesn't work.

[MarkBastable]

It might be 'Blue Moon' that doesn't work.

Actually, I'm going to give you Blue Moon, as I've just realised that the book title I meant it to be is actually a partial subtitle.
