Recently I feel like blue and green could be purple on any other day.

I saw purple straight away but was convinced it was a red herring. Then fell for a red herring 🫣

No hints or clues, also fell for the red herring. Happy with the result in the circumstances.

No defaults, saw the academic red herring but sidestepped it just in time.

I knew 3 of the purple, the last one was a guess. Blue was default, didn't see it at all.
