Thought blue was purple saw purple first and was easy.

Yeah, my girlfriend and I are having a side conversation about which should have been purple between blue and purple.

I think that purple fits in better with their standard color scheme, but it’s easier because what else could Chow and Yeoh be? But also if they were in different puzzles, either could have been purple.

Rats: In a very rare move, tried for the reverse, but then guessed order wrong. Got help from wife who recognized the quotes, when I had already thought punctuation had to be a grouping but didn’t see how that one fit. And :duh: we didn’t recognize the “lowercase letters” rationale, suspected it was map symbols. Had I realized they were lowercase letters, I wouldn’t have thought purple

I failed too. Couldn’t get off x as math. 1st bias was operation. Saw i as a letter, but was wondering if what it represents was the item.

Got first two groupings. Then consulted wife [proposing what was the correct blue grouping but still without the specific rationale. Ignoring my comment, she spotted the purple rationale and grouping, which confirmed my idea, still without full blue rationale
