Actually it's not about properties, is about what "a.filter" and

Maybe the question should be other, maybe the answers too. Feel free to

Regardless of the result, you can see the webpage chose red for the 
first option and green for the last. You know what that means.

Yeah.  Red means real world.  Green...  There's no such pill.
