Puzzle #486








I'll admit I got tunnel vision but I scraped through in the end! One of the entries named I'd never heard of and I consider it cheating to search online for an element of the puzzle.

I'll admit I'm pretty proud of this one, it was rough!

Failed - WTF are Hammer pants? Unless they mean the pants MC Hammer wore, but that's a stretch to say the least!

 

[Bardon]

Connections
Puzzle #491






One minor slip.

 

[Bardon]

"Hammer pants" is definitely commonly (well, commonly in the 90s) used to refer to the pants that MC Hammer wore.

Fair!

Just barely! It didn't help that I have no familiarity with iPhones

Puzzle #504





They nearly had me in the initial configuration.

A few flubs, I love purple!

They tried to trick us with the initial configuration again...

Puzzle #507






I had an extra degree of difficulty on Purple, some of those don't exist in Australia

Connections
Puzzle #509





Took a sec but once I got yellow the rest all kinda fell into place!

 

[Bardon]

Connections
Puzzle #511





I nearly missed the first one, took a step back and rethunk my final word.

 

[Bardon]

Missed a few days, my 8-week injection always throws me around for a few days but it's worth it!

Connections
Puzzle #514

 

[Bardon]

Purple was a difficult one - I've no idea how my brain made the first two connections when I was still working on my first coffee!

Puzzle #524





Yeah, I completely tanked on this one. Though I have a minor excuse - as a Can-Aussie there was no way in the world I was going to get anything about US College football

I started with an assumption that proved wrong since I recognised three that were also musicals but I was barking up the wrong tree.

I got tricked at first, but then it came together.

Well, I was never going to get purple as I'd never even heard of that category - ahh well, c'est la vie!

Connections
Puzzle #535






They were tricksy with the initial setup!

Connections
Puzzle #536







I only got purple by process of elimination - I'm guessing that a few of those are USA specific

 

[Bardon]

Connections
Puzzle #537







As a furriner there was no way I'd ever get blue on this one. Ah well.

 

[Bardon]

Connections
Puzzle #538








I barely got this - I got off on the wrong tangent at first, then it all clicked.

 

[Bardon]

Connections
Puzzle #539








Purple nearly had me.

 

[Bardon]

I think this was my worst yet. Like 50%+ of the options were Sesame Street characters. I would've never gotten Sopranos characters though.
Connections
Puzzle #541

I'm one of those who never watched that show - I only know about the iconic ending scene. I crashed and burned on #541.

Connections
Puzzle #542






After falling for a trap on my first go, the rest rather well fell into place! You win some, you lose some!

 

[Bardon]

Sometimes you just stare at it getting absolutely nothing for a few minutes, try something that isn't quite there then 1 2 3 4 it all kinda falls into place!

Connections

I claim no credit for purple, it was purely process of elimination.
