I got the NATO words immediately. solved it with no mistakes but had no idea what the purple was so 3 points. Ironically I would have known it if they used the clue Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr. LOL
As soon as I saw Yankee I knew that category and went looking for the others 😀. Pink and assignments was easy never heard of Derek Jeter - probably because i’m in the UK 🤷🏻♀️
I got the yellow and blue fairly quickly, after that I had some trouble. I guessed the other categories were - 'pink' and 'second', but could only identify two entries in each. From Australia, I've never heard of Derek Jeter and most pencils are HB. Erasers, carnations and bubble-gum can be a lot of colours not just pink. I have had pink bubble-gum. I ran out of guesses.
Interesting. #2 pencils are kinda big here in the US. Every time you have one of those scantron fill-in-the-bubble exams in school, they always used to tell you, "Make sure you use a number 2 pencil, not a mechanical pencil or pen". I don't know if they still do that though.
@@archtansterpg4246Wikipedia lists #2 and HB as equivalent grades of pencil. For filling in exam 'bubbles' I would have preferred 2B, which is the same as #0.

It was relatively easy if you knew Jeter was #2 but I sort of back into it with thinking Silver Medal is 2nd place and the rest fell into place.

Those of you knowing the NATO PHONETIC ALPHABET were lucky. Need I say more???
Eraser and bubblegum can be any colour. Sorry NYT, this set is flawed. No points for you, two for me.
And I think its only pink traditionally in the US / NA, as a non native english speaker, I never saw a pink eraser. It's always white or grey
Same for carnation. There are color variants.
@@petrkdn8224 interesting! Yeah, in the US they can be any color, but the stereotypical mental image is a pink one.
