"Connect The Dots" - June 11, 2021

#1

Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled "Connect The Dots" by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week's contest is a five letter noun.


A few more details on the Q&A with Matt Gaffney on June 29. All information on the Q&A are on Come Aboard/FAQ Solving Resources

1) The Q&A will be recorded and will be made available to everyone soon after the 29th

2) The link to the session will be available to muggles after June 17th

3) A good suggestion came out of our Tuesday zoom link. Matt is going to pick out one of his favorite MGWCC's from the past and we will post it here for everyone to do so we can use that during the Q&A to discuss various aspects of creating a meta.

Let me know if you have any questions about the Q&A, or zoom.

Bob

On shore. Another great idea from Mr. Shenk. I still wonder how he and Mr. Gaffney come up with 25 or so of these each a year (many more for Mr. Gaffney of course)

Wow. That was super. On the beach!
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

On the beach with my very large margarita. Ugh! I look like a tourist, except I don’t have a sunburn. Cabana boy has decided he’s going to learn French, so he has his nose in a book.
