Journal Chacham's Journal: Puzzle: Finish the sequences (2) 6

Here's some sequences to finish. Three might not be known to all. I don't expect anyone to get four and five, though if anyone gets one of them, the other shouldn't be too hard. Get either, and i'll be impressed.

  1. roygbi
  2. abgdezeti
  3. gelndjjrskcen
  4. tccredsdqmcffstsnmmdtrrgnnmmmna
  5. iigistueibnpaexcumdhpxttllr

    Grr...see I knew what that was the FIRST time. I'd never found anything about a hogshead though. I was guessing ip (Imerpial Gallon) k(keg) and pk (pony keg!)
  • 1) v
    2) k
    3) t|e Seems like this one you should have stopped maybe two or three characters previous so there would have been less confusion.
    4)
    5)
    6)
