What are the purple-cube requirements for Characterize, Test and Discover in the Mutation challenges?

The designer answered this in 2013, 2015, 2020 and 2024, and the rulebook says the same.

In Mutation and Bio-Terrorist, the City card used to Characterize purple must be a city with a purple cube; in Worldwide Panic the Test card must also be. The 3 cards to Discover the purple cure can be any colours, and need not be cities with purple cubes. The requirement applies only when you perform the action; afterwards purple cubes can be removed without effect. Only Sequence cards with a purple vial can be used.
