I got purple as a joke because I was stumped lmao that was it?!

::: spoiler spoiler I thought yellow was exclusively things done to paper.

I also thought there was a category for ____ out; check out, clock out, cross out, branch out 🀣

But seriously, who was even thinking about purple? Actual moon logic. :::

Rhe ant really throws a wrench into the mind process. I also at first thought the same as you for a nonexistent category.

Try putting three of these ` 1 row in front to keep the formatting

Like ``` then new line and another ``` if you want normal texr after the codeblock

Zagorath@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Or two spaces at the end of each line.

Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Yeah but that is much more work.

Zagorath@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Yeah but the end result looks a lot better. And it’s not that much more work.

Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

IMO it does not look that much better. A smidge maybe but it does not really matter. As long as rhe formating makes sense.

Trickyyyy, last two groups really took me some time to think out

Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Love how they rate this one quite a bit harder than yesterday's and it is just easier.
::: spoiler 1 issue The only real issue I have is that the supposed ant in Persistence of memory looks more like a fly to me apart from not really being something most people would remember about the painting.
:::
Thus I give this puzzle a 4.5/5 on the Zagorath scale of reasonableness.

Had to do this in two sessions. Watched TV after the 3rd wrong guess and came back to it later.
