Yay, it’s Friday! There’s an American-ism in here that threw me, but I did okay.

Footballs, in my experience, do not spiral.
Also, Tasmanian Devils don’t either (they are real animals where I live). The animated one does because it’s a pun on Dust Devils, which are mini-tornadoes. It’s fine, I’m not being nit-picky, it’s just that a dust devil would have been a better option in the list.

I knew what they were after in purple, just had to settle on the fourth.

I muat be more seppo-pilled because that colour was ok for me. I dont mind having to put myself in the mindset of a US person, it adds an interesting challenge. Its when you just have no clue because the clue hasnt escaped cultural containment its frustrating

I am used to it, but it’s usually one of the last solved because the necessary logic and familiarity isn’t at the forefront until then.

Pretty easy, but I’ve never heard of a rainbow cookie.

Me either, it was leftovers for me

Sunday’s puzzle got me good. I lost track of Madonna very early on in her career.

I found blue hard.

I actually thought of Madonna songs with Cherish and Holiday but didn’t know the other two.

Unlike the Aussies, I had no problem with blue, I knew all of those.

Saw today’s purple immediately and thought it would be the blue. Saw three of the actual blue but made a guess on the fourth and it panned out.
