    Chris is amazing! I struggled, got 2 categories, and failed the quantities and "is a" categories. Chris immediately made the connections snap snap!

    You made simple work of this Chris. Very impressive. I didn't have A CLUE at first and got lucky to get out alive.

      I'm with Chris this time. I'm not good at this game, my win rate is slightly above 60%, but this one felt absolutely trivial to me.
      I wouldn't have guessed the purple category, but the other three I knew immediately.

    Never in a million years would I have figured out a blank is a blank. I only finished this one cause I got lucky guessing with the subtitles

    I got vocal music first then missed one with a few, some, various and enough ... getting it correct on the second try. The rest stumped me so I went with a wild guess. Noting they were evenly split I looked again and finally saw the is, is, is category. This one was tough for me. 😬

    I got yellow and blue pretty quickly, and was stuck, staring at the words for green and purple for a long time. I was pretty sure that purple would need to be, “Make ______” using Love and A Deal. Even when I figured out Green, Purple was still a mystery for me.

    Wow, 65% is a very high number for a common mistake.

    this is tricky because I think the yellow is not common knowledge at all, especially for young people. And I'm into music too. Guess I got knowledge gapped hard today.

    I've feel like I've never heard of "Certain" used in the context it's used here.

      Usually you'll say "a certain _amount of_ " then fill in the blank. I kept guessing ENOUGH for this category.

      "There are certain medical conditions which we would flag as making this drug unsuitable for patients" - I think you could replace "certain" with "a few" / "some" / "various" for a similar (if not exact) meaning.

    CERTAIN _does not_ fit properly with the others

    • @milesbaillie6348
      @milesbaillie6348 16 днів тому +1

      I disagree. I do think the revealed description of "handful" isn't quite right, but the four words CERTAIN, VARIOUS, SOME, A FEW have a distinct connection of an unstated number of people or things from a larger set. Distinct enough that I could see ENOUGH was not part of the category.

      It certainly did not fit. Let me rephrase: It variously did not fit. It somely did not fit. It fewly did not fit.

      @@michaelwalker8100 Nice try. You do realise "certain" has more than one meaning and you just picked the wrong one to illustrate your point? There are certain ways that it can fit. Let me rephrase that: there are various ways it can fit; there are some ways it can fit; there are a few ways it can fit.

      @@michaelwalker8100 It's always hard to tell when you can't hear someone's tone. I did wonder if you were trying to be funny, so I at least tried to respond in a lighthearted way! There are people out there who don't understand how "certain" can work in this context, so I'll leave my comment for their benefit.

    Much like last month, they're back to BS. And the only reason I say that is because I failed miserably.

    The Green category threw me way off. Then my last guess was LOVE - ENOUGH - A NOVEL - PART ONE for 50 Shades of Gray. I never read the book.
