My manager is sending some cryptic messages for fun. Here is the message:
Mr.Black had a low value in the list followed by Mr.Brown. Sometimes, though the band in the dress they wore contained red, yellow and orange found a higher significance. Green of course was the middle one and the royals of blue and violet were naturally dearer. In spite of these, the purity of white was on the top, followed immediately by grey. In this whole representation, gold and silver had the least value. We are usually associated with Great Britain and we are of a very high standard.
As far as I know, it indirectly means something. I have only this information.
Will provide answer when my manager provides to us. Which could be probably at the end of today.
Thanks.
Answer
Sounds to me like
resistor colour-codes (also used for some other electronic components).
Mr.Black had a low value in the list followed by Mr.Brown.
Black and brown signify digits 0 and 1 respectively.
Sometimes, though the band in the dress they wore contained red, yellow and orange found a higher significance.
Red, yellow, orange are 2,3,4.
Green of course was the middle one and the royals of blue and violet were naturally dearer.
Green, blue, violet are 5,6,7.
In spite of these, the purity of white was on the top, followed immediately by grey.
Grey and white are 8,9.
In this whole representation, gold and silver had the least value.
As well as signifying digits 0-9, the colours are used to denote powers of ten: $10^0$ to $10^9$. Gold and silver aren't used for digits but extend the exponents: gold is $10^{-1}$ and silver is $10^{-2}$.
We are usually associated with Great Britain and we are of a very high standard.
Not sure quite what's going on here. There's a mnemonic for the colours that mentions Great Britain. (Mr_Green confirms that this is what he had in mind. "BB ROY Great Britain Very Good Wife".)
