Got green quickly, had to google for one of the yellows (like many!). Eventually realised what blue was about. PBD but I should have got it.

Purple first 🎉

Got yellow first then saw I would have fallen for the red herring if I hadn’t already got yellow! My purple was simpler than theirs as well!

Bit messy, mixed up 2 of them , and yes, fell for the red herring

Almost fell for the red herring. PBD.

I struggled with this and my success is mostly about being on the right lines and a bit of luck

my purple connection was a bit simpler than theirs. One of the greens is a bit feeble.

Red herring and no chance with purple

Walked smack into the red herring, but otherwise straightforward with no defaults. Blue was just silly

Green by default. As others have said - my connection for purple was a lot simpler.

ETA - just looked back and I can’t see the red herring others have mentioned. Could someone enlighten me tomorrow please?

Is it PBD if my connection was far less specific than theirs? 😄
