When I get the rainbow herring I feel like I got a secret fifth category.

I should have gotten purple. Duh. Yellow... Not sure I agree with that one.

::: spoiler I must protest.
Yellow is just flat-out wrong. To grate something is to reduce it to small particles, and to plane something is to make it smooth and level. There may or may not be thin pieces of removed material when planing, but they are not the product nor the point of the process. (Except, in cooking, a microplane is a kind of grater that produces small particles.)

No issues even if getting the last two was just a process of elimination.
