both blue and green seemed suspiciously obvious. Didn’t have a precise connection for purple.

I was sure purple was going to be a RH but I went for it anyway. Blue was a lucky guess and green was leftovers and default. So this was solved by luck rather than skill.

Like almost everyone, GBD (I only know one of those) and had to guess at blue as I couldn’t make four.

I see that only 1% got green first, with 51% getting purple first.

GBD and blue was a bit of a guess; I had the general area but not the exact connection. Purple was very obvious.

GBD today and purple jumped out.
