And on the β€œconnections” site, i couldn’t tell the difference between my first two categories. But copying it here, the first and third look the same. I’m going to go back to bed, and leave my phone in bedtime mode, and surprise myself in the morning with what order i guessed them in. ---

I don’t worry about the colours unless by the last two guesses it looks like a rainbow or reverse might be possible, then I’ll make a small effort.
