....really LSAC?!?

Apparently I got #12 wrong, but still managed to get 3 out of 6 right. I have no idea why it's B and not C

The secret to this game is to master all of the possible combinations of mauve dinos. There are only four.

Agreed.

12 isn't C because I, P, and S already have assigned colors (G, Y, and R, respectively). This would force L and U to both have mauve, which can't happen due to the last rule.

Here's a complete explanation for the game.

It wasn't dinos; it was game 4 on PT 57 that killed me.

However, after reviewing it, templates are the key to that one, too. Also, templates are the key to Nurses in PT 61, Mulch, and Interns.

If a modern game seems impossibly hard, it probably has a very limited number of combinations.

I didn't think mulch or dinos were hard at all.

Mulch was/is a 4-5 minute game. It's the easiest on PT 60.
