    A racst and sexual rhyme to remember resistor colour coding?

    Come on: inquiring minds and all that. What was it?

    All I can remember from school mnemonics is

    Rchard Of York Gave Battle In Vain for the colours of the spectrum and
    Silly Old Htler Caught Awful Headaches Through Our Airmen for Sin, Cos,
    Tan etc.

    I've never used a mnemonic; by the time I'd heard one I already knew
    the codes, though I can never remember the sub 1R0 sequence.

    Well, the one I learned at college in the 80s was...
    Bad boys rape our young girls but virgins go willingly (or without)
    But, I suppose an alternative could be substituting bad for black.

    The colours are Black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet,
    grey, white.

  16. Maybe I should have said:
    One was for pre diving checks.
    The other was for pre flying checks.
