Interesting to look at the ones, like mine, that were clearly in struggle-town, that green was always the only unproblematic color. Purples were all over the blue and yellow groups.

Really thought I was going to bomb out on this one. Definitely was a Phew!

I had the wrong idea for purple, which I was using to eliminate blue. Since purple was wrong — so too was blue!

No go today. Just went too fast

There were some real red herrings for me today.

Failed. I’m protesting a couple of the categories. One is petty, and the other is valid IMO.

Green was the most challenging category for me. I solved by default with what remained.

I knew three of the purple and the fourth was a cheat imo. I knew three of the green and googled the fourth. Anyway, just made it in the end.
