This was the hardest one I can ever remember. And it was like a 2.8 difficulty.

After three misses, I got green. I did not follow that up successfully.

This was a tough and weird one. Stumbled through it, though. Purple was by default and can GTFO.

Well, I made it. Purple was fairly easy, lucky guess on blue and green by default and would have never gotten it.

Green was messing with me. Never heard of one of them. Purple by default because I didn’t feel like spending time to figure it out
