Since it's 2:12pm EDT and no one had yet created this thread, is it possible others are having the same luck as I am, i.e., none?

Still looking at it. Have an idea but it's not panning out. Lot's of time to work on this one. I and my fellow Californians are not going anywhere!

I see FrankieHeck is on the board, and running the table this week! I myself am striking out so far . . .

I couldn't solve it while staring at it. While I went to go microwave leftover pizza, my brain finished the job. I love it when brain does that.

submitted and awaiting the update, but pretty confident.
Edit: board updated, got it.

I have some dumb ideas, but nothing is working here or on the WSJ. I did get the pgwcc, which was a nice break from the other two.

Everything I think to post sounds like a spoiler, so I’ll just say that I solved it.

And just like that, I'm on the board. Post-enlightenment strikes again!

Beam me up!
Also, since I complained a while back about how I always seemed to submit just after an update and had to wait a while, I wanted to note that my last few submissions have been processed within a few minutes. I don't know if I've just had luckier timing or if Matt has been going through them more often, but I appreciate it!

Perhaps Matt is stuck at home, like the rest of us.

Lost in space. I have a few ideas but they are getting me nowhere.

AHA I just got it. I saw a piece of it early on and dismissed the train of thought too quickly. Very clever construction.

I have what must be the first step (or insight, as Matt would say) and what I think is the answer, but I’m missing a step in between. Guess I’ll sleep on it.

I got nothin’.
And I’ve been staring for quite some time.
Sleep on it?

I think there may be more than one justifiable answer to this one.

Solved. Agree more than one possibility.

Got it! Can't make heads or tails of the WSJ yet, though.
