Colours of Death Trivia Quiz

Answer: Pain Relief

Clue 1 tells us it was not for depression, clue 5 indicates that it is not diabetes or insomnia, and clue 6 removes high blood pressure and weight loss from the options. So that leaves pain relief.

Answer: Annie

Clue 1 tells us that it is a woman and the pills are black. Clue 5 tells us that the other two women receive alliterative pills for diabetes and insomnia. Clue 2 indicates that pestilent pink is one and clue 4 discounts oozing orange since that goes to a man, leaving putrid purple as the other. Clues 2 and 8 tell us that Annie gets neither the pink nor purple pills so that means she gets the black ones and is depressed.

Answer: High Blood Pressure

Clues 1 and 5 tell us that the three women account for the depression, diabetes and insomnia. Clue 3 tells us that it is not a weight issue. Clue 9 states that Wesley receives the sickly yellow pills and we've worked out in answer to Q1 that these are for pain relief. So that leaves high blood pressure.

Answer: Judith

Clue 1 tells us that a woman receives the black pills. Clue 5 tells us that other two women receive alliterative pills for diabetes and insomnia. Clue 8 advises that the purple pill is for insomnia but excludes Annie. Neither does Annie receive the pink pills (per clue 2) or orange pills (per clue 4) (and hence gets none of the alliterative pills) and therefore must receive the black pills. Since, according to clue 10, Judith does not have diabetes, she must suffer from insomnia and hence (by clue 8) is the putrid purple pill popper.

Answer: Pain

Clue 9 tells us that he gets the sickly yellow pills and we have worked out in answer to Q1 that these are for pain relief.

Answer: Ghostly White

Clue 1 tells us that the black pills are for depression. Clue 4 discounts oozing orange and we have worked out in answer to Q1 that the sickly yellow ones are for pain relief. Clue 5 tells us that two women receive alliterative pills for diabetes and insomnia. Clue 2 tells us that pestilent pink is one of these and clue 4 implies that putrid purple is the other. So that leaves ghostly white as the answer.

Answer: Bob

Clue 4 tells us that a man receives the oozing orange pills but not for weight issues. Terence is therefore discounted as clue 3 indicates he is the one taking weight loss pills. Clue 9 informs us that Wesley gets the sickly yellow ones so that leaves Bob to receive the oozing orange pills.

Answer: Laurie

Clue 5 tells us that one of the women is a diabetic. We know from solving Q2 that it is not Annie and from clue 10 that it is not Judith so that leaves Laurie.

Answer: Terence

We know from clues 1 and 5 that it is not a woman. Clues 7 and 9 respectively tell us that it is not Bob or Wesley so that leaves Terence.

Answer: Oozing Orange

Clue 1 links the black pills to depression. The sickly yellow pills don't deal with blood pressure according to clue 6. Clue 5 tells us that two of the alliterative pills go to two women and are for diabetes and insomnia. Clue 2 indicates that pestilent pink is one and clue 4 implies putrid purple is the other. We worked out that the ghostly white pills are for weight loss when answering Q6. That leaves the oozing orange pills for the high blood pressure.

To summarise:

Annie Brackett swallows deathly black pills for her depression;
Bob Simms tackles his high blood pressure with oozing orange pills;
Judith Myers takes putrid purple pills for her insomnia;
Laurie Strode gets the pestilent pink pills for diabetes;
Terence Wynn has ghostly white pills to help his weight fade away;
and Wesley Rhoads is issued sickly yellow pills for pain relief.
