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!

Really pleased with myself for making the penguin connection right off the bat! It feels really good that I can tell I've gotten better at the game :)

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.

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.
