Blue ladder. I fail.
Ha – it’s pretty unimpressive if it does not work! I think the blog post format may be wrong. I tried this by voice and it worked on another person.
Yep, red hammer. Very good 🙂
Blue hammer. 😀
Green lawnmower, which obviously is not a tool, but it was the first thing that popped into my head. I fail on multiple fronts.
THANKS to those who tried this. Clearly … it works less than 98% of the time, though it does make sense that “red hammer” would be the most common combo name.
But even if “red” is half and “hammer” is half, you’d only get that combo 1/4th of the time.
