I had to Google hints for that one. Got green and yellow quite quickly and had suspicions about the purple line but was stumped on the others.

Not sure which puzzle this is as I started it at 11.58 on Thursday but finished just after midnight . It seems to be the same puzzle you've all done on Thursday but I've got a different number .
