#629 - "Good for You"

[MajordomoTom]

#84 on the list, not bad.

not squishy, just not fully ... you know.

not a week 3 IMHO

[dudeski]

Beam me up.
Now what I am I going to do.

[MajordomoTom]

you're going to do what you need to do in the kitchen.

I'll have some.

Solved

Ok, after dinner and a shower I felt refreshed enough to take a look at the meta, and I'm on the board. Huh.

[Laura M]

Busy with work today so I haven't taken a fair shot at this one yet, but it's definitely not an instant solve for me! Hopefully I can work it out tomorrow. At any rate, I was disappointed that the health benefits of 60A weren't listed :-)

[ChrisKochmanski]

Beam me up!

[Laura M]

I was sure I had something, but I just can't get it to resolve into a coherent answer. This seems to have been happening to me a lot lately, sigh.

I think we're in the same place. Time to start over!

[JordanianTomlinson]

Taking the evening off and starting fresh this AM ended up working out for me. On the board!

[DrTom]

This started so well...I immediately had several good ideas on how to approach it, and each had some merit and some initial success, but two or three steps in and they peter out. I'm trying to be more sleuth-like, following the lead of so many of the clever solvers who see that clues and derive from them LOTS more direction that I ever do. Seems when I get past BIG DEALs I have to fold. Not stopping looking, but maybe I have to resolve and reassess.

Hmm. Just submitted, and just missed a leaderboard update, so it will probably be a while till I know if I’m right. Reasonably confident, but not 100%. Lots of guessing and backsolving to deal with some ambiguity. Don’t love this one, unless of course there’s something I totally missed.

[Domini]

I’m new to meta puzzles and MGWCC, so hiiiii!

That week 5 a few weeks ago stopped the small streak I had going, and this morning I was sure this puzzle would break my streak again. I had tried a million things and saw nowhere else to go. But after putting it down for a while, wouldn’t ya know, I got it almost immediately! It ended up being the FIRST thing I had tried.... Just did it wrong—ugh! I’m learning to trust my gut.

I’ve enjoyed lurking these past few months. This seems like a great community.

Welcome, welcome! And congratulations on the MGWCC. Week 4 next week. We ARE a great community!

Squishy.

I tried something and am now staring at a mishmosh. Perhaps there's another step.

I have the same mishmosh! Probably. Does it look like you hit your head on the keyboard in frustration? :-)

[Big Mac]

Feel like I'm close but it's just not materializing. Can't find a consistent application of my idea. I suspect others who haven't solved are having a similar journey.

[Joe]

Going crazy with this thing. Last week, I submitted a post saying that metas aren't trivia contests, they're word puzzles. I'm trying to follow my own advice, but am stuck with the feeling that I need a degree in nutritional science to solve this thing. Do I? I'll welcome an answer or super gentle nudge via DM if you're so inclined. Thanks!

Sounds like my approach. I think I need to walk away and do something constructive.
