::: spoiler Who thought they would use this as the red herring? My second guess is β€œparts of the ear” - anvil, stirrup, hammer, drum. 😫 :::

Oh that's clever! I didn't even notice that red herring!

But I've taken to using copilot but default most days, which really helps reduce the chance of getting caught by red herrings.
