        dogpoo = brown
        sky = blue
        pig = pink
        hole = black

        If it took too long to remember, being out there in the sun you would have been the shade of 15 reds – but they come before the colours!
        Congratulations The Statman! Do you get a point? I can't remember!

        • Round 51

          This Memory Course is serving me well. First I would spend, spend, spend. On the second, I'd wait at the rear. On the third, I told myself to get a grip, and by the fourth it seemed ready to thaw. And that brought me to the fifth day, when I finally remembered! Remembered what?

              To pot? No. Why?

              • A clue then: it is snooker-related.

                • well we suspected that much
                  That's why like Snookersfun, I first thought of cue action and pot.
                  Now maybe something related with table and cloth?

                    No, there's nothing I struggle to remember about tables or cloths.

                    More to do with a big tournament...

                    • I would guess they are related to the opponents of a certain Mr Davis at at crucible one year (Five days = five matches?)

                      I'll say 1984?

                        No, but certainly much warmer than any answers before.

                        • Something about four sessions of a certain match then and what happened after that?

                          • No, but chasmmi is closest with his reference to players and Crucible...

                              ... and he's right that 5 matches were involved, and that one of them was won by Davis...
