Got it. I'm noticing something that's probably the red herring too.

Done, as well. I figure I've got about one more month, tops, before these fall beyond my skill set!

Got it. The grid was harder than I expected, but not too bad in the end. I didn't see this one quite as immediately as last month's, but re-scanning the grid led me to the correct answer.

On the board! I think I have an idea for the red herring, but going to wait until next month.

My blind guess was that the February meta would be the song Billy Murray hears every morning in "Groundhog Day." Even after seeing the title Support System, I thought it might be. It wasn't.

Always a bit of a cache / delay between getting the confirmation of submission (which isn't a confirmation of its accuracy) and a leaderboard update with your name on it (if you were correct). I know this, and still always get a tinge of .... but was I wrong? Getting one wrong last year (rushed my entry) doesn't help moderate that feeling.Flananigans wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 3:18 pm Solved (still learning the lingo!) i suppose I am “on the board” after receiving confirmation?

But you are on the leaderboard now (See your name a few spots above mine as I got my own verification.)
