    I didn’t even get close to figuring out purple. It was just the left-overs.

    Also “thou” was interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it used as a shortened form of “thousand”, outside of the very narrow context of people talking about Vietnamese currency. Interesting to see it show up in an American quiz game.

      Regarding “thou” used that way, it’s typically only used after another number, i.e. “ten thou” or “a hundred thou”. Even then, it’s not the most common expression.
