"Body Language " October 6, 2023

[Onaquest]

We’re still on the ship Bob. We have a step. Can’t tell whether it’s first or second. We’ll soldier on but the clock’s tick tocking.

[DBMiller]

There is still time but settling into my afternoon with Isaac. So many leads but floundering. It may be too late for this puzzle, but remind me, please, when the Zoom sessions are.

8pm ET tonight. Full calendar can be found using the link under the banner at the top of this web page

[Yoda66]

Started today and still lost at sea. Got half way there but that s when the Bermuda triangle fog started. Will throw an educated guess in the next 60 minutes.

Edit: one mechanism is obvious and creates an answer, which leads me to believe it's the second part of the mechanism. Gotta watch SNF so the answer I have ia the final answer

[CAe39]

Ashore!

[Tripod]

Still on the ship playing rabbit laser tag, I suppose. Calling in backup...

[Ben B]

For the record, we are confirmed on the wrong beach so have made our way back to the bar with Isaac. Thanks Wendy for the tow! We will be eagerly awaiting the reveal tonight.

[Colin]

I am on a shore,
Right one? I cannot be sure.
‘Ship Fever’… no more!

[LadyBird]

On shore with many thanks to the Last Call zoom chat folks. No mug submission but I will still enjoy a Kahlua.

[Susan Goldberg]

Many many thanks to the late call zoom team. Nevermind that they had to carry me over the finish line as I realized part of my error was an inability to read my own handwriting. Still, it helped me to realize how lucky we are to have such patient friends!

[Bob cruise director]

Good evening muggles.

Our final count is 11 on the ship and 148 on the shore

Good luck to those who are submitting winning the mug. Many of us will bask on the shore hoping for your success

[MajordomoTom]

still struggling on the ship, I think I'm in your 11, had to attend to other things this weekend, and it's not coming together for me

if anyone's on, I'm open to nudges

[Geezer Weezer]

Finally ashore. This was more convoluted than I can normally handle, but in the end it fit too well to be wrong.

[EquityJam]

I'm still on the ship too. I see one mechanism that's too perfect not to be a step in the solve, but I can't make heads or tails (or any body part for that matter) on how to follow it up.

[JerryF]

Not even a clue! No fun in this type of puzzle. Bah! Humbug!

[Googly]

[TeaJenny]

That was a tough one, but I am finally ashore! Hopefully, on the right beach...

[NDStegs]

We were busy during the time of the Zoom call. We've seen one mechanism which is either part of the solution or one heck of a coincidence. Unfortunately, the rabbit holes we followed from there led to dead ends.
Anyone still on and willing to give a hint?

[dogguy]

Ashore...

[escapeartist]

There is one thing that "sealed the deal" for me - will post after the solution drop.

[MajordomoTom]

thanks to hcbirker and woozy, that's a really woozy of a doozy

ashore with 14 minutes to spare
