I had 3/4 on blue pretty easy. I had to eliminate a few words before I could take a guess.

Thought I got off to a good start, then trouble began. Too close for comfort. I was starting to think about my concession speech. β€œPhew” is right.

I don't mind tricks, but then don't make purple something like "the 3rd letter is the nth letter of the alphabet = numerical sum of first two letters"

Today was bs. I’m 90% sure one of my misses in Blue fits that category. Blue and green I caught onto right away after trying the too obvious choice. Then I was stuck on purple and yellow for awhile

My issue is that the "obvious choice" wasn't simple or obvious enough to actually use as a trick.  The play design seems to have a component of luck that isn't necessary.

Fuck the obvious choice.

I saw nothing obvious and was horrible this week


I’m out and would’ve failed with 10 misses and 30 minutes

Well, maybe we could keep this a continuous thing. When this one is over, we start another one.

Disagree with β€œvery easy”. I found it difficult, in fact. Had a hard time getting started and took awhile to piece things together. I feel fortunate.

I thought blue was a totally different thing and there was multiple that fit and that almost killed me. I blame my dog being named Sully
