I came up with a MUCH better group than that blue one. It was excellent.

Lots of guesses there.

No idea who Derek is either.

Purple by default, I know Derek Jeter is/was an American sportsman but that’s as far as my knowledge of him goes 😂

Sorry for introducing a bit of a time warp here. I'm in Canada and it's still Thursday. I quite liked #368. I spotted all the connections with no "by default" for a change:

Really struggled with the fourth purple answer, then I realised what the green link was so just made it.

blue, yellow and green were straightforward.

I did Google Derek Jeter. It didn’t help me!

one of the greens is very tenuous, I knew what the link was. Purple very much by default.

one of the greens 🤔
purple by default - no chance!

I don’t understand anyone’s problem with the greens, they made perfect sense to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Because every single one of the dubious things I have owned in the last 50 years has not fitted the category. They could fit it but it is not a defining characteristic by any stretch of the imagination. Having googled apparently this is a defining characteristic in the US.
