Agreed! After the line of yellows, nothing jelled for me. I don't feel too bad, I see it was rated 5/5 for difficulty. @karstopography you did excellent finishing it!

Not for me today! Too time consuming to figure out if my interpretation of the pictures is what they meant! My attention span does not allow for a double conversion. :D :lol:

My wife and mom both got it today with one mistake. I got green and then quickly flamed out. Zero patience today. I’ll survive.

Not today, Ray! Got just one category.

And I've lost the option of seeing statistics on how others did, now I get a NY Times subscription ad blocking further info. If I didn't already subscribe to a home state newspaper I might do it, but I don't have time to read two full newspapers.
