I saw three of the pieces of the red herring, but wasn’t sure of the fourth, so I went elsewhere, and eliminated one of the pieces, and so recognized its herringness. And I got purple as leftovers, thinking that it was maybe last names of people who all had the same first name, but I’m not very good at that sort of things, so just accepted it as being leftovers. I was not at all expecting what it actually was. ---
