A very enjoyable swim indeed. Count me ashore. The initial aha! was especially sweet. A certain skill helps in this one. Brilliant as always Matt!
Stay well all

Done and done. Not happy with the last 25% but figured it out nonetheless.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Holy moly! Not sure we could explain this to anyone. Convoluted but enjoyable solve, with fun steps along the way.
And to confirm, we are ashore!

Ashore, but no clips from Cheers to guide me to the solution this week.
Good health and happy solving,

After a few rabbit holes, I figured out the mechanism, but that last 25% mentioned made me doubt myself (I am weak in the certain skill mentioned above). Took a break. When I came back the answer became clear as I hit the beach. Solved and submitted.

Well if I'm in a rabbit hole, it's the longest one I've ever been in! Just can't quite get there. I think I know what skill you all are referencing (I have very little of it) and I think I know what 25% people don't really see (me neither), but the 75% I do have is not giving me anything like a good guess so I can back-solve. Ugghhhh. I have dm'd a couple of you beached solvers for a quick check of my process to see if I should give up this trail and start again. I do have a paying job, which I am sorely neglecting... and Gaffney coming soon! (no doubt that will be easier than THIS thing!)

On the beach. I had the same problem as many others and had to back solve the last 25%. Nonetheless a satisfying solve.
- Just puzzling it out here in Delmarva

My wife got this one for us. I can explain more on Monday.
On shore.

I'm with you, except for the 75%. Got nothing. But misery loves company!HeadinHome wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 9:19 pm Well if I'm in a rabbit hole, it's the longest one I've ever been in!

Ashore! Same issue as everyone else but I bet when I read the answer it'll be a head-slapper

Well I got it now! I had a perfectly good substitute for one of the pieces (the first one), and it even worked with the mechanism ('splain later) -- so that was messing me up entirely. (So it wasn't a rabbit hole, I was just in a side burrow no other rabbits were using.)
I was only able to get the last 25% by backsolving once I had the correct FIRST 25%.
Man I have earned me a margarita. Thank you to my very gentle encouragers, TeamDoubleTow and RPardoe!

On the beach! 🏖 
Found the last 25% extremely difficult compared to the rest. But didn’t want to post til I had it all. Enjoyed the puzzle!
Garlic People - I did my scape sacrifice yesterday, and have two vases. One has the shorter stems which were still straight, and the other has longer stems which were starting to curl. Waiting to see the UDLR ballet!

So many here are talking about percentages that I'm going to need @Joe Ross to make me up a spreadsheet just to understand the odds. Even though I've solved it.
