I had a harder time with the gird - several crosses of unknown names I had to guess at. Amazingly, when I googled to check them, all were right.
I got the general idea of the meta mechanism very early on, but the exact method was not quite what I was expecting, and it took a few minutes to let go of that and see what was really there.
Congratulations to all the prize winners!

I'm in, should've come a bit quicker but got thrown on the final step.

Hmm... I feel like I’m halfway there, but I can’t complete this approach for all the clues/entries I expect... is that a rabbit I smell?

Yes, I’ve found three seemingly promising things, and then crashed into a wall. I’ve also used several extensive resources to find someone fitting the description in the answer to try to backsolve. A famous someone, born in 1953, I would definitely be familiar with. Makes me think those three things I found are red herrings. I’m amazed that some muggles solved this within minutes. I’m stumped on a week 2—sheesh!

I believe you're in the same place I was. You need to be sure you're not overly limiting things. Some stuff I assumed was part of the meta was in fact just coincidence in the first couple I came across. When I broadened out a bit, I found the rest of the pieces. Then it turned out that what I needed to do with them was not exactly what I'd expected either, but it all came together beautifully.Jeremy Smith wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 4:58 pmYes, I’ve found three seemingly promising things, and then crashed into a wall.

I’m pretty sure I’m the correct path, but now I’m stumped at the next step(?), with lots of wrong steps forward.
Backsolving hasn’t revealed anything to me either.
