Resistor Color Code

[N7YO]

Well it has been sometime since our last trivia topic. We are going to change gears a little bit, so here goes! Who can tell me the resistor color code? I want to know the colors and the associated values.

Gold, Silver, or lack of specifies tolerance of 5, 10, or 20%

Take the first two colors, then multiply by 10^(third color)

I cheated and pulled out the reference book though.

I memorized it all in high school. I knew the values, knew the math.. but struggled mightily with the red, brown, black, violet stuff thanks to being color blind.

Once I came to terms with my disability (and bought a DMM) I purged that info since it didn't do me any good anyhow.
