Green was dumb today.

::: spoiler Spoilers I spent a while with green split into two separate categories, one with beaker & syringe, one with ruler and protractor.

The "leader" red herring was fun. Wasn't until I remembered macaroni and chinstrap are penguins that I pulled that apart. :::

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Couple of stumbles, saw yellow and then got into a rhythm purple was pretty easy to fin after Mail scooter. Then saw the penguins so made the green one by deduction. :::

::: spoiler That took me MUCH longer than usual... ...and I only got the penguin category because of leftovers. Nice red herring with the muppet names, though! :::
