Muppet Theater
by Matt Zinno
Each character uses speech balloons with different border and text colors. Matching the text color of one to the border of another provides a cyclic ordering of the characters:
Character | outline | letters | # frames |
Elmo | purple | black | 1 |
Abby Cadabby | black | pink | 1 |
Cookie Monster | pink | brown | 1 |
Hoots the Owl | brown | dk blue | 1 |
Super Grover | dk blue | lt green | 3 |
Ernie | lt green | aqua | 4 |
Count von Count | aqua | lt blue | 1 |
Snuffleupagus | lt blue | grey | 2 |
Bert | grey | green | 4 |
Oscar the Grouch | green | red | 7 |
Twiddlebug | red | yellow | 2 |
Zoe | yellow | lt brown | 2 |
Rubber Duckie | lt brown | orange | 1 |
Big Bird | orange | purple | 7 |
Using the number of frames each character appears in as an index into their name (as given above), this spells out EACH PIC NTH WORD. In each picture, you then take the Nth word spoken, where N is the number of characters in each picture. And this spells out A-HE-AD-OF-ON-E'S-TIME-IS-THE-ANSWER. Thus, AHEAD OF ONE'S TIME is the answer.
