The compliment will be equidistant from the other two triads. So, B,R,Y are the triads (primary triads in this case) and G is the discordant compliment. Triad first. Then each combination of the triad with the compliment in the middle. So, B,R,Y,B,G,R,B,G,Y,R,G,Y.

One was the birth of a child and the other a marriage (the latter was also motivated by the desire to lose the name of a hated stepfather.).<br /><br />Roger SweenyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152270.post-1086712342074807292004-06-08T11:32:00.000-05:002004-06-08T11:32:00.000-05:00Apparently Google has hired a lot of Ph.D.'s.

Try to figure it out; all the ways to have no same adjacent colors are variations on the theme that Google chose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152270.post-1086689333113124572004-06-08T05:08:00.000-05:002004-06-08T05:08:00.000-05:00"Hardly anyone actually creates a brand-new last n..."Hardly anyone actually creates a brand-new last name anymore."<br /><br />But, depending on the rate of name extinction though the mechanisms you suggest, you wouldn't NEED a lot of people creating new last names. And, of course, we import a lot of new last names, through immigration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
