I got the first two no problem, but had exactly zero hope of the last two, I've never had HBO and know basically none of the shows (I think I know Westworld and game of thrones, and that's it lol) and I know exactly nothing about baseball 😅

I kept thinking monopoly because of boardwalk plus a couple things that feel like they could be monopoly things, but I don't know much about monopoly either lol

I’ve never had HBO

Neither have I 👀

Silicon Valley was very funny though.

Lol, fair enough. I'm not big on sitcoms but I've heard great things!

The same, orange and green no issues, but the other two are impossible to guess.

Very American centric this time

Green and yellow were so easy, but then I was stuck completely guessing for blue and purple. Well, almost complete guesses. I was thinking

curb, twin, silicon, and something else would be sitcoms, or possibly just TV shows, and having heard of Boardwalk Empire but knowing nothing about that, that was my 4th for the first guess.

That got me close enough that a few permutations of guesses later got the right answer.

Spoiler 2

I never had any hope of picking the American sports teams. Unlike the last time a category like this came up, I haven't even heard of these sport teams.

I didn't even get the green clues so you did better than me, wtf is a mole!

Also non American here I thought there might be some American rental car thing going on, and had an idea about TV shows but thought Tiger King and Twin Peaks were in the mix. 🤷‍♀️ There's always tomorrow!

From high school chemistry, i remember a mole being something to do with the concentration of a molecule in a solution? Tbh, it involved a lot of maths, so i pretty much switched off!

Tap for spoiler

One mole is the number of atoms in 12g of carbon-12 (aka avogrado's number). In this case it's used in an equation to define the amount of electrical charge that can be carried.

Chemistry is fun
