The answer to this week's meta is a drink.
(You won't need Google to get this answer).

Will is also asking that people email him with preference regarding the inclusion of the Complexity Scale™ rating (6 / 10 this week) along with the puzzles.

DINO ME!

Crosshare confirmed my answer. I just happened to see what I needed early. There is one thing that I could not work out, though. I am hoping for a realization or a clarification.

Dino me. It's been a while since I've solved a Pandora's all by myself!

Quick solve, although there was one thing that puzzled me.🤔

I'm relatively new to Pandoras meta (this will be my third or so). Are the usually as "tight" as the others?

The way I see this one there is only one possible thing to do but it leads to a very loose sprawling situation with lots of varying degrees of inconsistencies.

I find Will’s puzzle to be among the better offerings here; so I tend to find them pretty tight.
I didn’t find any inconsistencies with this one.

Lovely puzzle. I made an error early on, which kept me from seeing the answer. I sought professional help and was put on the right track.

Thanks! I didn't even realize I won until I read your comment.

Dino me!

Count me among those who got it right without quite getting it right (if you know what I mean).

Now I know the whole picture.

Very nice, Will!

Re: the Complexity Scale … Well, it’s a distinctive feature of Pandora’s Blocks … but I’m fine either way, with or without.

Submitted and Confirmed.

There should be a word for when you think of every bit of the mechanism many times yet somehow not manage to apply Part Y to Slot X even though you you considered each of them many times.

Can't believe how long this took me even though I was sure of every bit of the mechanism.
