Okay, Day 1 lineup below - - let me know if I missed you (not sure which solvers on Crosshare might be muggles). I'll post another nudge later this a.m. to lure more of you off the couch.

Classic "write a PM asking for a nudge which helps me see the answer" puzzle here. Finally off the couch!

Ditto! Did the same thing and then saw it right in the body of the PM I was typing. Thankfully, didn't push send on that one. Off the couch.

Needed the clues to get me off the couch. Confirmed via Crosshare.
Nice one Chris!

Yeesh! I needed all the nudges for sure! Thanks, Chris, for a challenge.

Off the couch. Needed the nudges to confirm that what I was trying was the right approach. I'd given up too soon. It took looking at several cases before one of them finally clicked very nicely. Fun.

Off the couch. Who's afraid of parentheses?
Thanks, Chris!

The cat is out of the bag. I used the Tuesday nudge, though I like to think that I could have eventually solved without it. Then I had a perfectly reasonable mix-and-match mistake, so I needed two tries to score.

I see two or three things that cannot be coincidence, so I'd like to think I'm on the right path? Just need to see if I can tie it all together!

Nice one. Would not have gotten it without nudges.

Finally off the couch. I saw the nudges yesterday, but didn't think I was going to be able to solve it. Then I took another look.

Pulled off the couch thanks to nudges and Chris's patience. Great puzzle

Finally reverse-engineered one component of the last step, but I pulled it out somehow without any nudges. Toughie but a good one, thanks!

Got it with the nudges. Only actually used a couple of them, but they were needed.

Ooh! That was a very nice one! I had to read all three sets of nudges about 15 times to figure out what was going on, though, but that's on me.

Ditto what @hoover said above. Clever and unique (to me) mechanism and a fun puzzle overall. Thanks, Chris!
