I got the Purple today second thanks to The Simpsons and the Leftorium. For some reason Monty Burns struggling with a can opener popped in my mind.

542

I got green and yellow quickly, and I’m currently really stuck on the last eight. It’s never taken me close to this long to complete the puzzle.

I’ll come back and report whether I end up feeling like a total idiot or not.

543

Same here. After staring at what was left for a long long time (and taking one wrong guess) blue finally clicked for me. And then purple by default.

544

And me as well. Purple finally clicked for me, as I have a sister who’s left-handed.

I’m not sure I would ever have gotten Blue, except by default.

545

Blue was not obvious to me.

546

Same.

547

Yeah Blue was my last one and I was not sure exactly what the answer was.

548

Yeah, it’s surprisingly niche, especially for blue. Happens to be my livelihood, so works for me but I can’t imagine the average person getting it:

549

It’s also commonplace for the people who do the graphics for online new organizations.

550

I share that characteristic - and so I got it fairly quickly

551

Today’s was very difficult for me.

I didn’t know can openers come in left handed varieties, and barely remember that’s true of golf clubs and guitars.

Also, I’ve never in my life used Photoshop.

552

Well, I ended up with a rare fail (only my second ever). I stared at those eight boxes off and on all damn day and never got any closer to solving, until I just started making random guesses in frustration.

But I don’t feel too stupid, for exactly the reasons @suranyi posted above. I don’t think I would have gotten this one if I’d had a week.

553

Green blue yellow, then stupid with no mistakes today. What’s with the obsession for The Simpsons?

554

For today’s (the 28th) purple category, what is the metaphor involving eggs? My mom and I were discussing it and speculating it had to do with broken eggs or scrambled eggs (both of which can’t be undone), but we weren’t sure exactly.

555

unscramble an egg (it’s easy to make chaos out of order, but not vice versa)

556

Thanks! I hadn’t heard that one before but it makes sense.

557

Or “you can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs.”

558

Today (3/1), Blue was my last/default category. I doubt if I would ever have figured it out.

559

I recognized the blue category before the green one.

560

I got Blue second. Green was my last one this time. Recognized purple.
