There don't seem to be any Dots candies in this box of Dots but you can taste a whole rainbow of Skittles. By now you have seen a movie playing on the box of candy. The music does not include any data you need.

The candies parading across the stage are always in groups of three. There are five potential candy colors. No set of colors is found in more than one candy type. Notice the rainbow pattern on the sticker that shows red on top (as opposed to on the left).

For each group of 3 boxes, make a 3 x 5 grid with each column representing the 5 colors in rainbow order with red on top. Mark the occurrence of each color in each column for that candy. For instance the first group will be ROYGV, RYV, and OG. It should make a familiar shape. The final enumeration is 6,6.
