Maybe that's why I fail so often, never used a hint page.


Fell for the red herring, knew better too. Said "this is wrong" right before I clicked submit.

Really, so far the amazing thing is that we've all gotten it. Justin with two misses and Ironman, BRF and myself all with three. With two of us needing to get three straight lines with no misses in order to pull through. That's....something!

Fell for the trick.  Oddly, yesterday I thought "naw, this is a trick", made a different choice and fell for the trick

Yup, John Wick, John Rambo, John Snow, only reason I didn’t fall for it was I could not find a 4th β€œJohn”. So I moved on. 


That’s what distracted me for a long time and made me take a few min
