bit of a guess for the last purple, saw the blue connection from the start but there were too many possibilities.

I knew 3 of the purple, the last one was a guess. Blue was default, didn't see it at all.

No defaults, saw the academic red herring but sidestepped it just in time.

No hints or clues, also fell for the red herring. Happy with the result in the circumstances.

I saw purple straight away but was convinced it was a red herring. Then fell for a red herring 🫣
