Embarrassed that it took so long. I had the right idea, sort of, but short-circuited it. Peter had to slap me into place....

Fun Meta, clued in distinctive Abide manner, every time I think "well he HAS to be wrong" I see what he means.

Fun distraction even if I ended up doing a faceplant.

No familiarity with any of the potential themes -- google to the rescue -- reached what seems like a reasonable endpoint -- will sit back down again if so instructed.

I was looking for a number, not a word. But your fourth answer was right!

Tried to get off the couch earlier today. But, I stumbled and fell right back on my keister. 🙃

Awaiting confirmation, but think I am confidently standing steady!

EDIT: Confirmed

Fun one!

I've tried telling patients, "fourth time is the charm" but they always balk.....
