So did they reply 'orange' to the second questiononly to be told they were wrong for some spurious QI-like reason?

I always find it amazingthat some people don't know what you get if you mix two colours...it's something I've known since before I can remember.

Then again it's not quite reliably true with paintsbecause if the red is a little bit inclined towards purple and the yellow is a little bit inclined towards green, you end up with sludge. Orange only really comes from orange-red mixed with orange-yellow. And then there's mixing coloured lights, which is completely counter-intuitive.

erm good pointActually they changed it yesterday. Orange is now called red as well. It was more likely then that the queestion was 'Yellow and what make up orange?'
