I see that according to the bot 41% of people got purple first today.

I'm enjoying the comments and statistics.
So far in our group here, 10 out of 16 people got purple first, which is an unscientific 62.5% Grin

Just to shake things up a bit. No hints or defaults today

I’ve just thought, I do it first thing, for the U.K. anyway, at about 7am. Do the statistics change across the day as more people complete it? Do the statistics come from people across the world or just America?

Luckily I didn’t spot the red herring until after I had locked in the blues, or I would definitely have fallen for it 😀. Purple was leftovers but I did then spot the connection.

The RH was fun and should take its place as an honorary line.
