Thank you Josh for the assist off the couch. I'm revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night!

OTC - - but have to admit I struggled here. I hadn't seen this construct before, but after noting the clearly noteworthy early on, I'm embarrassed at how long it took for the path to reveal itself.

Finally printed this out today and solved it over lunch with my hubby. No hints neededfor a change! Good meta!

I am embarrassed that I needed the nudges. They didn't tell me what I didn't already know, yet I don't think I would have solved without them. Yeah, I don't understand that, either. :?: 4O8!
This was a very well-crafted puzzle! Looking forward to more.
In any case, thanks for the fun puzzle, madhatter5!

OTC, with the nudges.
I had not come across this mechanism before, so I struggled a bit.
I will say I learned something, though. Clever puzzle.

OTC, but needed the third nudge to remove the scales from my eyes and trigger an idea that panned out when I googled it. Had to back correct one of the answers though once I figured out what the answer had to be. Being relatively new, hadn't encounter this mechanism before. Very clever.

Without the tinting it would be Week 8. Like trying to find an invisible bouncing ball.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Awaiting confirnation, but . .
This was original and clever. As soon as this was posted, I knew what the answer had to be, but it took me till now to get the mechanism, maybe because of a reluctance to think of stuff that I have to look up on the Internet.

Thanks a lot.... I enjoyed that video, but it led to videos of marching bands and I have sat here for an hour when I have other things I need to be doing...Dplass wrote: โThu Dec 17, 2020 10:46 amI'm reminded of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JdWlSF195Y

Was definitely on the wrong track, but got it with the nudges. Nicely done!
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

OTC. Regarding the first two nudges, I already figured out as much, and I am not sure what exactly the third nudge was referring to. Finally discussed it with my daughter and she found the mechanism and kicked me off the couch.

I assume JAQT's tag line at the end of his posts describes what it means. Is there some other intrigue that I am oblivious to?Bob cruise director wrote: โWed Dec 16, 2020 12:55 pm
I am curious about a lot of the names and numbers after the names. Why 5 after yours.
other intriguing ones in no particular order
