1: b b b b G …
2: Y b Y b G …
3: b G G G G …

There were three words left it could have been after Guess 3 and I have to admit to some disappointment that I got the right one first try.

An old woman with white hair and a white cardigan sits on a park bench. A black swan stands in front of her looking up into her face. The swan nods and the woman nods back.

Sure, if that’s something that’s important to you. I don’t know what you mean by left-handed or right-handed, but looking from above, the flies were going anticlockwise.

A tornado of implausibly many flies spirals up and out from a dog poo on the ground as I pass.

A dusty path is flanked by two rustic grey logs. A fluffy yellow dog and a small boy wearing blue run back and forth across the path between the logs. Each one waits for the other to arrive on top of the opposite log before jumping down at the same time to starting the process again.

But yes I fully agree there are more quadrilaterals in a very true and visceral sense.

I *think* it is the same size of infinity, considering ℝ³ is the same sized infinity as ℝ⁴.

So there you go. That’s just one of my weirdnesses. I don’t want to be cured of my lack of popular music and am completely content without it in my life. The only time it’s a problem is when people treat me like a weirdo because of it. /6&end

I do love singing, but honestly musicals (including Disney) fill that need quite enough. /5

The only time music is helpful for me is while driving, but I also hate driving so I avoid that as much as I can. /4

Also I don’t enjoy being around drunk people, so I don’t go to bars and clubs, where you would experience a lot of the popular music. /3

The thing is, I can’t read or write if anything with words is playing, and songs with words even make conversation more difficult for me, so most of my work and life doesn’t have music because I can’t do work and life and music at the same time. /2

Utterly stumped after Guess 3 and after using the tool and seeing the only word it could be, still all I could say was, “I suppose.”

That is fascinating! Both the idea of doing this research at all, and their discoveries. So I’m reading that when you’re stuck, it might help to look at things again you haven’t thought about for a while.
