    Green and yellow were so easy, but then I was stuck completely guessing for blue and purple. Well, almost complete guesses. I was thinking

      I didn’t even get the green clues so you did better than me, wtf is a mole!

      Also non American here I thought there might be some American rental car thing going on, and had an idea about TV shows but thought Tiger King and Twin Peaks were in the mix. 🤷‍♀️ There’s always tomorrow!

        From high school chemistry, i remember a mole being something to do with the concentration of a molecule in a solution? Tbh, it involved a lot of maths, so i pretty much switched off!
