they didn't add the starch I think

There's only clear and yellow...
-
its so coooooooooooooooooooooooollll :0

To dds2008: I don't remmember exactly, but you can find it at Web of Science.

you have to add a little bit more boiled starch solution (or just powdery starch) so that it gets deep blue too ... we had the same problem in our chemistry work experience :)

this was taken from a website and changed aournd by my own words sorry if it makes no sense lol :) v v v v v v

IO3- + 2H2O2 + CH2(COOH)2 + H+ → ICH(COOH)2 + 2O2 + 3H2O
the slowly increasing amber color is due to the production of free iodine by a radical process. When the radical process stops, the resulting increase in iodide ion enables the sudden blue starch color. But since the non-radical process is acting, this slowly fades back to clear. The eventual resumption of the radical process is invisible, but can be revealed by the use of a suitable electrode.

not quite. my 80 cm3 mix had 30 oscillations in 120 secs, only the first 10 of which showed no deep blue. thats at room temperature

You could have put too much sulfuric acid, which would have 'killed' the reaction, if you think it took too long. But it normally takes around 2-2.5 minutes to start up.
where is the blue?
