On shore. Very clever construction! In honor of the puzzle theme I’ll be running around the pool area pushing people in. Consider yourselves warned.

On shore. Very difficult. Went down many rabbit holes (and had a very lucid dream that the answer was Kidney Stones.). Only figured out by guessing part of the answer first, which is insane given the possibilities, but logic did win out. And speaking of winning, I want that mug!

I've had dreams about solving metas before, but your answer is better than anything I ever dreamed up.FirstMax wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 4:43 pm On shore. Very difficult.

Submitting, lots of paths, certain guesses, never connected, but had great fun. See you all next week!

23 lengths back and goggles obscured with mud. Looks like my best streak is at an end. Isaac,how about that nightcap you've been telling me about?
Cheers to those who tamed this bucking bronc.

On shore! I'm calling this one a Kas4...not so much for the difficulty (though I thought the construction was brilliant), but because even though I had a good running start at the answer...it just took ages for that moment to click. Worth it, lovely A-Ha moment! Hello Cabana!!!

One of the telling indicators of the difficulty of this meta is that at this time the last few weeks we up to 13 pages on this forum.

Our final count is 20 on the ship and 80 on the shore.
For tim1217, a couple of other indicators is that we only have 80 on the shore and 20 on the ship
We also have another new Muggle FirstMax
Since noontime, Guy L and Diane have joined Isaac for the week
And joining the shore group are
Matthew M
ClaudiaS who we welcome back as we have not seen her for a while

I'm hot on the trail, think I know what to do but times a-ticking, so am submitting from some shore somewhere, hoping it's the correct one.

My rabbit holes have rabbit holes. I don’t think there are enough hours tomorrow to take you through every avenueI explored. So much for my last few successful weeks. I know I felt close and will likely be mad at myself in the morning. Meanwhile; I can turn my frustration to the Eagles. Good luck, all. I’m ceding a spot in the odds to you

On shore with an answer that works. I hope that I have joined the other puzzle-solvers and not landed on Gilligan's Island.

On shore at literally the last minute! Submitted the answer before confirming the path but found enough of it to be sure. That was fun!

I broke through by starting at the end. Lancelot worked out pretty easily using the chess knight move. Had part of king and part of Arthur, but finally saw that the black squares could be used as the others. All came together.
Cincy moved up to #18!
