Aristotle thought there were 4 colours corresponding to the four elements: earth, fire, wind, and water.

Crawley call themselves the Red Devils but I'd imagine the quiz wants a northern club.

Clydebank there are quotes on the internet that say that aristotle believed the rainbow had three colours, and the chinese apparently did believe there 5 after the 5 chinese elements. Maybe the question is a bit debatable but it mostly fits.
Report CLYDEBANK29 • January 21, 2015 11:37 PM GMT
sounds like it fits then.  Maybe it is "colours of the rainbow" rather than just colours?

"SAS was an early adopter in permitting smoking on its routes, but also first to have a smoking ban (1986)."

SAS is Sccandanavian Airlines which is the combined national airline of Sweden Norway and Denmark.

1988 article about Northwest airlines who were the first US carrier to ban smoking  ...National carriers in Sweden, the Soviet Union, Saudi Arabia, Hungary and South Africa have also banned smoking.


which backs up SAS claims on it's official site
