Since when does a series of numbers need to be printed in different colors, choosing the colors serially according to the standard list of primary colors? It doesn’t. There is no mistake.

(if that’s what it’s doing, then there’s a numeral one printed in white on the white background).

I had abdominal surgery so I’m on OxyContin, Tylenol, and who knows what other stuff so I studied and studied and fell asleep.
Then the nurses woke me and told me stuff I couldn’t concentrate on so I blew them off and studied and never solved it. Total time: 2 hours 16 minutes 43 seconds.
