    Honestly yellow and blue can go burn in hell today. I don’t think I ever had to search for so many eords from one of these puzzles.

    I actually found blue first but wanted to confirm green. And yeah purple is for the memers out the I guess but it really ties the whole thing together

    Really proud of myself for this one 🥹 blue especially I felt really good about

    Spoiler

    I was really torn on whether to put Mona Lisa with the other smiling ones to make a category since her “smile” being ambiguous is a huge part of the art discussion around her

    Blue was unnecessarily convoluted. And what even is purple?

      Yeah I’d have never gotten purple in a million years were it not the last category, if you’ve not seen the movie you’re just kinda fucked 😅

      Spoiler

      I actually thought blue was fun, but I’m a little biased since I grew up as an art nerd and solved it. It was definitely a hard one though.

      All of them have gained some kind of “imperfection” that’s become part of their fame. The statue of liberty is green now from coper oxidization instead of copper colored, Venus de milio is missing her arms, the liberty bell has a crack, and the leaning tower of Pisa is leaning because the ground it was built on was too soft and one side sank

          The Great Sphinx at Giza (usually spelt in English with an i) famously is missing its nose. A common (but unsupported) myth says that Napolean shot it off when he was occupying Egypt.

          Sphynx cats (usually spelt in English with a y) are a breed of hairless domestic cat. Though I’ll admit when doing the puzzle, it didn’t occur to me, and I was just thinking about the Sphinx as being a cat body.

      Purple

      is about The Big Lebowski. Not a movie I’ve ever seen personally (tbh it looks unbearable), but fairly popular. There’s even an instance of Lemmy dedicated specifically to it, with one community: !achievers@lebowski.social
