I checked the SET game and isn't https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2026/monte-carlo-simulations/#... wrong? "all different (...) for each attribute separately" and solution from the footnote names items with all 3 shapes

You elided the reason it's a valid set, "all different or all the same for each attribute separately"

The four attributes:

- Count: 3 in each; "all the same"

- Color: red, purple, green; "all different"

- Shape: diamonds, ovals, squiggles; "all different"

- Shading: empty, solid, striped; "all different"

So for each attribute the conditions are met, they are either all the same or all different.

Got it now, thanks for explaining it to me.

I was confused by this exact point. Wasn't sure whether the author explained it poorly or I'm an idiot.
