Jimmm A, B, and D are white

This confused me a bit. I concluded that at least one of A and D (I think) had to be a W4 since there was only 1 W2 left and I had them both narrowed down to either 2 or 4, and they may have both been W4s. Is this what you wanted me to conclude?

Some feedback for you ghostofmars, I would suggest that on the first player's first turn they don't tell someone else about a single 1, in case they have 2 or 3 1s they can't see. It just so happened that your three 1s didn't coincide with my 1, but it would have been a pain if they did.
Hmmm, I think that would work. At least if there is something else to tell (which was in our case).
In 2 player it often wouldn't, also you want to get cards out faster there.

Honestly, I was surprised that you played the card. You had B4, W4, W1, and W2 in your hand. So I couldn't uniquely identify the W4 card. I feared that you would play B4(newest) if I had told you the 4s so I chose the whites instead.

So I wanted to tell you don't discard this card now.

I almost never play 2 player, so I'm not too sure about that, but in general I think it's a solid rule of thumb.

I went back and checked to see if there was a time I would have been told about a W2 if I had it, but I had told Teproc about his W2 straight after the W1 was played. I figured getting a strike wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, and if I misplayed a W2, at least I'd know for sure the other one was a W4.

Yeah 21 isn't great.

As far as the red 4 goes : I think I decided to discard it because the cards I had for a long time looked important : they were not 1s, not 2s and not 4s or something to that effect. So I discarded that one because I thought it was the least likely to be important... obviously that was wrong.

I was very puzzled when you discarded the... white five I think, ghost ? You had a token and a useulf info to give to Jimmmm at that point, do you remember why you discarded ?

@Jimmmm : Hmm, I hesistated between telling him about the 1s or the red (I ended up doing both since he drew more red later), I didn't catch that there were so few yellow cards left.

From my perspective both Jimmm and you had playable cards in your hand W4 and G4, respectively. Both of you had these cards since the beginning of the game so that it was likely that you would discard it. As I had only 1 hint to give I feared that the one I didn't tell a hint would discard a playable card. So I discarded my oldest card so that Jimmm could give you a hint and both of these cards were saved, unfortunately at the cost of the W5.
