it's not vicars...
it's not vtrain either...
Funny! Just had that silly "AHA" moment. Very funny!
Finally a top 100! Very nice puzzle. Now I need to go fix dinner....
w00t! i barely had to do anything and i got so many points!
[1] [1] vicars and vtrain were my first two guesses as well!
Guessed the answer but had to back solve. And then it was obvious. Had to laugh!
They look purple to me...
any hints for the unseeing?
a touch of salt?
[8] thank you that did it lol
thanks [8] finally got it
Hmmmm...Still don't have it yet...
[8] - and I thought they were blue!
OK, so the color doesn't matter then? Ugh!
[15] it matters. the point of the other comments were kinda saying that (and what colors the Vs arent)
I'm having a blonde moment I guess...LOL...nothing is clicking with me on this one...one to the other puzzles! : )
yeah, they look puce to me.
nice one!
If anyone wouldn't mind TGing me some salt I'd appreciate it...Its driving me crazy that I'm not seeing this one...
Thankfully I did better on the other puzzles tonight! LOL! : )
[20] TG sent
I can't believe that I am having such a hard time with this one also, I usually do best on the crypto's. You wouldn't mind TGing me with a little sprinkle also, would ya? I'd appreciate it.
Ok...Now that I've finally figured it out...I'm embarrassed I didn't see this before! : P
I'm there with ya. No clue...

10 seconds, a personal best there...

Yeah, the color DOES look purple to me, too... shoulda gone for something a little more neutral...
OMG I FEEL SO STUPID
WOW IM GOING TO SLEEP
54 seconds & 225th. Oh, well. Now I need to go feed my dog....
purplish/black V's on a train?
I love it!!! 19sec :-D
Ok, I'd like a hint too.
I don't know if I would call it a color, but more of a shade...
I agree though, it does look purple.
Hmm, I don't know it yet:
Indigo, violet, lavender...
vicars?
You solved this puzzle in 8 seconds and were the 70th Tanga member to solve it.
I liked it.
arghh they are blue (maybe purple). I was thinking "purple rain" :)
Next time, a different shade of the right color will cause less confusion.
don't know why that's funny
I was totally lost last night, but one look this morning and it just clicked!! kind of funny!
[8] has the best salt. They're somewhere between black and white
Thanks [8] & [29] that was exactly what I needed.
31 did it for me
I punched myself in the stomach for not figuring it out any faster! Time for Lunch!!!
Funny idea, but on my monitor at least those don't look that color at all. Would never have guessed that without[41] . I was sure they were blue or purple.
[45] (Deleted for salt) Two words...
I admit my choice of shade may be a bit sk"hue"d from the norm... but purple? seriously? like Barney purple?
You can't please all of the people all of the time.
No, not a barney purple, like a bluish purple. But don't get me wrong, i liked the puzzle. Good idea.
never heard of that expression
[49] not directed at you specifically... enough others thought purple to cause me to comment.
And all bets are off when you start describing "ish" colors. lol That could be an orange-ish green if you have the right amount of orange, green and "ish". Its all good.
Thanks [41] I was only seeing purple
well someone send me a message with alot better salt im not seeing it. Im new to this so what is TG salt?
TG sent
ty ty
sure looked purple to me too liked it once i got some salt ty
I also need help. pleeze send me some salt
[41] excellent salt. I was stuck on colors, and not on shades.
perhaps just a touch?
cool puzzle. I can't believe some have never heard this phraze. Mashed potatoes anyone?
huh... silly puzzle.
for those attempting this after day one... I've updated the image to be a bit less ambiguous with the color. I can't get it any better than that so if you can't see it for the color it is, you may want to have the color on your monitor calibrated. :)
1000% BETTER! I've already solved it, but others will be thankful!
