Good morning Muggles, and welcome to Muggle Meta Monday! Today’s puzzle is called “Left-Right! Left-Right!” We’re giving it a Week 1 difficulty rating. Please PM me your solution by 4 PM on Sunday, and this week, I’m going to try to give at least one or two snapshots of a leaderboard during the week. TEASER ALERT: Wait ‘til you see who’s in the on-deck circle for next week’s MMM puzzle!

Fun one, Al! Mechanism was clear in about 5 minutes, but I personally needed google to trigger the movie title. Or maybe I was just lazy this morning. Clever!

Al, your puzzle brought a big smile to my face, because I have a very specific personal memory of this movie. But to tell might give it away.

Nice!

I’m with LesY on this one. Needed google for the exact title. Nice construction.

I'm off the couch! (MMM version of "on shore") :lol:

I humbly suggest this is more difficult than a week 1.

Given that I haven't figured this one out yet, I guess I should abandon all hope of getting Matt's Week 4 tonight.

Al, I’d rag on you about Fast Times at Ridgemont High, too, but that would probably be NSFTXMF.

I'm on the couch! (Unlike the beach or the spaceship, this is literally my location, so ironically it feels like a strange thing to say.)

So if you are still “on the couch” you haven’t solved it? :?:

Sorry, I misread the original post as saying on the couch! Off makes more sense, I'll say that in the future. Anyway, I figured it out :-) Good one, Al!
