I don't think there are any others who thought anything was fairly obvious.

Stinky Pinkies!
My Entry to the May 2024 CrossHare Midi Contest
Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Yeah I thought this one was very well hidden, and was somewhat surprised to see how many folks had/have beamed up. Very fun one, all told.
Happy to provide nudges if you PM me.

So many distractions!
@Wendy Walker with the much needed virtual blinkers to keep me from jumping the guardrails.
Congratulations to the solo solvers!
And…. Last Day of Dryanuary!!! Woohoo

I am waiting for beam-up! I agree, there were lots of distractions and when the actual mechanism worked, I was pleasantly surprised!

Uh... here in Philly, Dryanuary ended Sunday. I knew people who had to get to their local bar by noon to score seats for the Eagles game.

Awaiting transporter beam. Though I got the “Submissions are closed” message after submitting. I’ll check in the morning.
Edit: Looks as if I did make it to the board.

I got the "submissions are closed" message also. i shot mr gaffney a quick email to let him know; even if people are getting on the board after a "late" but not late submission it's a confusing message to receive. great guest puzzle regardless!

According to my calendar (...yes, I have it written in my calendar...) submission day for this one is 3. Feb., so you should be able to get it if you make quick work of it on Friday.Andrew Bradburn wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:11 pm Unless I am mistaken, this two-day delay brings the "Solved a meta on Ada's birthday" badge into play, which I thought I would have to wait at least a year to have a chance at, and which is one of only two I don't yet have. The other I will never get, which is to be first to solve. Now, if I can just solve it when it comes out -- which these days is not very likely, especially a week 4.

Beamed up after a kind nudge! If there's an award for the most rabbit holes dug up, I think I'm in the running.

Wow! I was just typing up all my seemingly useless random thoughts for a nudge request, and I saw what to do! I can't believe I solo solved this!

Sent to the transfer portal with a helpful nudge last night; now I just have to wait for the facility's owner to turn the power back on the tractor beams....

The form is still there; the list of solvers hasn't been updated since 8pm eastern last night. I'll email him at 11:55 if I'm not up there by then.Joe Ross wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 8:54 am Email (crosswordcontest@gmail.com) or PM your answer to Matt, if the form isn't available.

Looks like I WAS mistaken! I had thought Ada's birthday was 2/2, and at the time I initially wrote this, no solvers were listed where I could click on a name and see all the badges. Good news then, that a week one puzzle will be coming out on Ada's birthday (unless it gets delayed...)ky-mike wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:05 pmDue to the late post, the deadline for this puzzle is Noon ET on Thursday, February 2nd.MountainManZach wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 5:46 pmAccording to my calendar (...yes, I have it written in my calendar...) submission day for this one is 3.
