I have yet to see the dino... Or even its tracks. I'd appreciate a slight nudge via pm if someone could point me in the right direction

Not seeing it; I just emailed Will with "I'll take a hint or a DNF" on this one.

I'm pretty sure I've found the elusive dino...

Update: After finding a final click, I definitely have the dino!

Just figured this one out and loved it! -- hoping the 8am submission end time applies to my time zone (Central).

Another day, another deadline missed... the meta gods were not kind to me this week. Can somebody please show me the Dino?

Edit: Thanks to Cap’n Rick for the nudge... finally got IT

Nothing yet - couple of ideas, but I don't think they're getting me anywhere, and I'm spinning in the ditch. Look forward to seeing the mechanism!

DNF for me on this one, but a fantastic meta. Will, thanks so much for sharing the write-up on the construction process - I found it fascinating.

Anyone on here willing to give me a nudge? I'm fairly new to the PBWMC puzzles and am working my way backward but am currently stumped on this one.
