Solved all ten and finally got the Mega-meta. It's the same answer I was going to send in last week, but I wasn't sure enough and I'd already sent the wrong answer twice. Ah well.

I easily solved my first MMMM this month. My biggest decision was exactly what to submit because I was torn between 2 options. Fortunately, my answer was accepted and I showed up on the leaderboard. I'm guessing both options were accepted. I submitted the one I felt was technically correct, but most people probably opted for the other answer.
If I'd gotten this one 'wrong' I probably would have quit this contest for good.
Edit: I was deciding between "Country Roads" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads". I went with the full name and I'm pleased to see that it was considered the correct answer.

Just curious about your alternate answer?FKelly wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 3:28 pm There seem to be two plausible answers to "Follow the Directions! (2)". Perhaps, there's another meaning for the (2) in the title. The first answer I found used familiar encoding method and led fairly directly to a possible answer. It's a famous song for a certain group, but not a genre that Pete Muller has used before (at least that I'm aware of). So I kept looking and found another answer that used a different familiar encoding method and also led directly to a possible answer. This answer was of a genre Muller uses regularly. Are there two (2) possible correct answers to this meta?

Ok ok, it was a bit palaeobyzantine. I first found the letters at the points of the compass reading CW from the NW corner to be CRYPTEBI. Putting that in a Google search led to http://www.synaxis.info/psalom/notation ... neda01.pdf. -> koinonikon, a communion chant.
I went with COUNTRY ROADS.
