Not worthy of being a blue solve

I agree with gopipgo. This is a straightforward puzzle that should have been an orange or yellow. It doesn't even make sense to

light the match before putting it in the olive--you'd burn your fingers!

I marked the card as Too Easy, but I could just as easily have marked it as Too Hard, due to the number of incorrect solves. I have not had anywhere near as many incorrect solves as on this card (well, maybe except for Polar, which also turned out to be somewhat of a cheat).

That card is rubbish-comes down to only being blue difficulty because of the many different orders/combinations of entering the answer! The match could be put in the olive before lighting etc...Nothing enjoyable about solving that at all

Agreed - i spent ages trying to enter the answer Mad
