Had some trouble with yellow. Too many types of talk to get purple right away.

2422

Exactly the same for me.

Also easy for me, although my order of solve was YBGP. I didn’t figure out Purple until it was the last four, and then I wondered why I hadn’t seen it earlier.

Ack. 5 things fit in the purple category and I was too lazy to do all 4 categories at once today.

Saw blue immediately so assumed it was yellow. Oops.

Saw five for purple pretty much right away but thought one felt weaker than the rest, so I tried my luck, and it worked out. Still having difficulty figuring out green from yellow.

It is now Saturday where I live, and they got me good.

The fifth kind of talk was already gone by the time I got to purple, so no trouble there.

For the second day in a row, blue could just as well have been yellow.

2429

Still Friday here. Had all 4 sets sorted easily, but no clue which was which color.

Saturday’s purple category was bullshit. They had two reptiles and two amphibians. There’s no non-bullshit way to make those the same category.

Not learning my lesson from yesterday i risked entering purple without categorizing everything first. Luckily it worked out this time.

”Herpetofauna” includes both reptiles and amphibians.

2436

That was a new word for me, but my first instinct wasn’t that it was a made-up term.

Taxonomy has changed so much in the 40+ years since I took high school biology I expect everything I know to be wrong.

Here’s Sunday’s puzzle. I almost fell for the red herring, which I think a few people might be taken in by. Also I saw Purple at the start, but wasn’t certain.

I saw Purple quickly but I had a hard time with the others.
