Didn’t get P, and wasn’t sure what to make of “plane” since I’ve never heard it as a verb.

Not a P in the traditional sense but still didn’t get it. Never heard of the Gasparilla Bowl, or pretty much any other bowl that’s named after a fountain soda.

All me. Major surprise, and in retrospect perhaps (especially if had consulted wife) could have gotten the reverse. But didn’t try. What turned out to be blue and purple were the first 2 I saw. I figured probably yellow and green, but try them anyway to confirm I’m on the right track.

Easy one today, aside from telling what the colour order should be. I was close.

Wasn’t going for the reverse - FIFA was the only obvious one, since I’d never heard of padel, don’t watch lacrosse and I don’t have an in-depth knowledge of WRs.

57% solve rate today. I’d never heard of New Water but it was clear that Outkast was the outcast of the group. My ex-wife and her brother pulled me into a Depeche Mode concert. It was an outdoor venue near a beach, so it didn’t occur to me that the weather would be about 10 degrees colder so it was a cold night with mediocre music.

Average of 3.2 guesses, and that’s probably because just a handful of solvers know cricket terms aside from widget. If you don’t get P then you’re just guessing, and fortunately my first guess was 1 away so I could narrow things down. Also got confused with I-Rod since I’ve never heard him called anything but Pudge, forgetting that was Fisk’s nickname as well.
