Ok, so Isaac needs some company, I'll pull up to the bar on the boat and spend the night there.
Been working through tax season and also Berry's Sweet 16, so need to let the brain percolate a bit to solve this math meta. Hopefully tomorrow the lightning will strike.

A presumably easy puzzle for seasoned muggles -and thousands are already ashore- but I can see this one creating problems for newbies.
Fun one.
Fun one.

On shore quickly and 125%. I liked it! and predict a very crowded beach.
Sigh. I guess that means I have no excuse not to finish up my taxes this weekend...

Yes, itโs Leap Day, but Iโm not leaping off the ship just yet. Still leaping around with the rabbits, but I seem to be closing in on the right one. So one last mimosa, Isaac.

Our Friday report is a little early. We have 54 on the shore and 4 in the ship's bar plus innumerable others searching out the rabbit holes.
by the way, does anyone know if they still have Sadie Hawkins dances in high school? Do high schoolers even know about Sadie Hawkins

Normally I'll say I'm 100% certain when I am as confident as I can be in my answer. I was applying some exceptional arithmetic provided by this week's meta title to come up with 125%. I thought it was fair game for comment since it refers to the title and not the solution in any way I can fathom - unless of course I'm 125% wrong! And any posts anyone deems inappropriate can and will be removed ASAP.

On shore. Took a few minutes earlier, got nowhere, saw that this one was not considered hard, and it fell quickly to a fresh look an hour later. I was definitely overthinking it.

Oh shore too! Fun and straight-forward, feels like potentially a good intro puzzle for someone new. (Says the old salt who's been at this for 3 months.)

That took WAY longer than it should have. I will have a tall Maker's and Ginger.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
