Fat Tuesday is the English translation of Mardi Gras (French) which you probably know as the name of the festival. It's what we know as Shrove Tuesday or pancake day.

It's all the Americanisms that confuse me.

Not too bad today, although purple as default.

Lucky guess eventually, on purple. Blue was default

Fell for the red herring. Sort of knew blue but it’s another American one.

Blue was, once again, dredged up from memories of living briefly in the US. I knew what purple was but two of them don’t make much sense to me.

Also fell for red herring. One of the greens pure guess and no idea with blue. Got lucky on this one

More haste, less speed would have made this a lot tidier!

Fell for the red herring too.

Got purple once they were the last four.

Urgh, that was hard work. Spotting yellow sooner would have helped.
