Now for some fun Douglas Hofstadter self-reference.
Challenge:
Can someone find a password that describes the colors it makes?
e.g. "redgreenblue" shows red, green, and blue
- Pistos2 17y agoSome close ones: "same", "differentgreens".
- paulgb 17y ago"multicoloured" :-) Not to just be a smart-ass, I tried a few others, but couldn't find any that worked well.
- Jeremysr 17y agostartpinkendgreen Still trying to find one for all three colours. (This is fun! :P)
- ubernostrum 17y ago"wildblueyonder" produces a blue bar on the far right. "wild blue yonder" produces two blue bars on the left.

- madcaptenor 17y ago"blueorangepink" works. I found it by typing in a random password, then using as a password the colors from that password, and repeating until I got the self-referential password. I can't think of a good reason why this should work, though. And you might argue that the third color there is really purple, not pink. New question: lots of countries have flags which consist of three stripes. Is there a country whose chromahash is its flag?
