I don’t see a place to send you a PM. So I don’t think anyone will be able to help you with a nudge. Maybe something in your settings?

Thanks Cindy. I sent you a PM just now but it appears to be stuck in the Outbox.

PMs stay in your Outbox until read by at least one of the addressees. Then they show in your Sent messages.

I'd be more than happy to set "Solo Solve?" to "No" in exchange for the gentlest of nudges. I feel like there was a huge gulf between last week's and this one. Thanks!

It stays in the outbox until I read it. However it tells me you have PM receipt disabled.

I’m nowhere on this, and if it’s playing like a week five, I probably won’t ever get it solo. Thus, I would appreciate a nudge.

Re 3D I did comment on over on the WSJCC area

aha. Just found the setting. Should work now. thanks.

72 correct entries on a Monday afternoon for a Week 3...this does not bode well for me. I've done the ol' "set it down and sneak up on it later" bit too many times to have any real hope.

But who knows?

Also, it was nice to see 3D show up on the starship this week.

I'd love a nudge. I have some ideas but am not getting anywhere.

Awaiting an update confirmation, but I'm finally beaming up. So many rabbit holes! Thanks to Dannyvee for a nudge out of my labyrinth and into the tractor beams.

I'll say more post-deadline about the difficulties, but I thought this was a fantabulous construction.

This is a Week 3? Struggling to even find a toehold. Would appreciate a little nudge to help get us started!

I'd appreciate a nudge too please. Thanks.

Definitely needed some guidance on this one. I noticed some things but did not follow up on them. The chasm between steps was just too wide for me to figure out on my own. I get great nudges the still allowed me to get a kick when I saw the light though.

I’d love a little nudge, if someone would be so kind. Nothing promising at the moment, and the hour is growing late...

This meta was a work of art with an incredibly satisfying A-HA!, for which I had to work, despite the kind strategy verifications received.

Thank you, Matt!

I've got confirmation on the first step but been wracking my brain trying to see how to progress... Would very much welcome a nudge please:)

I, too would love a nudge if anyone wants to send one my way... Thanks!

I’ll ask again for a nudge if anyone is willing. Thanks so much.

This week turned out to be a real nudge- fest!

As a generally anti-nudge person, it looks like this is a week that I should have stayed off this thread

I have had several requests for nudges from this board this week. And I will say without exception that no one was begging for a hint that would get them to the answer. In fact, in most cases, it was folks who haven’t been doing metas for very long and are trying to learn more about how to do metas. A couple have even stated right up front that they have no intention of submitting an answer. When I first started doing metas a few years ago, there was no one to ask anything. I think this board is a great place for folks to learn. And we all know that the more you do, the “easier” they get. And by this I mean you start to notice things that you never would have noticed previously.

When I give nudges, I ask the folks to tell me what they see. And then I tell them whether they are headed in the right or wrong direction. Sometimes this helps someone to a solution and sometimes not. But that is the world of puzzles. You cannot solve all the puzzles all the time.

Case in point, on the MMMM this month, I had to let my personal streak go and my perfect 2020. Such is life.
