Yeah, as a non-sports watcher, that was crazy. That’s the only US sport where i could have answered (and i did) but it was hard, and would have just been annoying if it had been any other sport.

No mistakes but no good on color order.

Purple was leftovers. Rather stupid, IMO. Doubtful I would have solved it outright.

3046

I am also on Friday already. I had no chance with blue, so it was leftovers, but at least I bypassed the obvious red herring.

Yeah, I shoulda got blue immediately, but it wasn’t until after I did a shuffle that put A and JAY next to each other that I said “aha!”

No real trouble on this one, though.

Easy. Only saw the red herring afterwards.

I see you red herring. I do not see you yellow/green order.

Went for the red herring. Even had to google to check on the fourth answer because it’s not my thing. Didn’t get purple but at least it was better than yesterday.

3051

I got red herringed. Had no idea what purple was but it was last.

The red herring was so glaringly obvious to me that I didn’t dare fall for it.
Then I spotted LESSON and SYNC, which led me to a natural purple-first.

The other 12 blocks sorted themselves out fairly easily, and I guessed right on the RR order. Fun one!

Saturday, and this one was relatively easy.

I saw the red herring, but didn’t know all of them so i left it for later, and later never came. I didn’t get purple.

3057

On Friday, I got green immediately, and then noticed the red herring but was spared because one was already used. But I totally would have fallen for it if not for that.

Didn’t get blue although I should have.

Was looking for names with a military rank.

I either saw a red herring or I was just wrong but then it was pretty straightforward.
