      wtf is purple

      I don’t follow. I found it pretty straightforward, and even if you didn’t get it, isn’t the explanation once it shows you the answer pretty clear?

      Spoilers

      Fallopian tubes are part of the female reproductive system.

      Inner tubes are the rubber tubes that go inside of a tyre, especially bike tyres.

      Test tubes are glass tubes used for chemistry experiments.

      Vacuum tubes were an old electronics component that basically preceded transistors.

        I think we had different puzzles or the one I did was from yesterday. I don’t remember what it was but I wouldn’t have guessed it if it weren’t my remaining four.

          Oh yes, I see now. You posted 683’s solution into 684’s thread!

          I try to get these posted up at 2 pm local time. Any later than that and especially people further east than me will start missing out on opportunities to participate. That’s 4 am UTC, so Europeans are barely affected, and it’s 8 pm US Pacific Standard Time the day before, so in the worst case, Americans don’t have to wait very long before they can participate. It does leave a very small window where Americans need to pay attention to posting in the right thread, but IMO that’s a lot less of a problem than if the thread goes up too late as it usually does if posted at a time that’s most convenient for Americans.
