very pleased with myself for getting purple first.

Spent ages just looking at it at first. Had no clue! Then it came together. No default.

Had no clue after green and yellow. Came back later and it came to me. Didn't really know blue but felt like they went together somehow.

Fell for red herring, had to look at Companion to sort out purples from blues. Still took a while. BBD.

blue makes little sense to me, maybe I’m just too old. Took ages to spot green.
