"To-Go Orders" - May 6, 2022

#1

Post by Bob cruise director »

This weeks contest is titled "To-Go Orders" by Matt Gaffney and Peter Gordon.

The answer to this week's contest is a chemical element.

Great - we have narrowed our options down to 118 guesses.

Good luck with the meta and the grid

For those who do not do the MGWCC, last week's title was "One of These Things is Not Like The Others"

For those who play golf in the spring with yellow golf balls we have our own version of that title

Yay!! Page 1! The cabana boy is simply basking in the lovely weather, trying not to think about the sauna that is August.

On Naboo. Not sure whether the droid behind the bar is mixing drinks or performing some kind of chemical titration. :shock:

[Re]The candy at 31D [*] I recall several other MG puzzles with candy I'd never heard of. Either Matt travels widely in Candyland or I'm just out of it.
