"The Woman in White" February 17, 2023

[ship4u]

Imagine being one of @ship4u Don and Cynthia's kids. Some time ago, they were looking to move to PA. So when you get the phone call to help Mom and Dad pack for the move, you better have booked a 12 month around the world trip already. No one has just one anvil especially when they go to auctions to buy them.

Good one, Bob! LOL. So, I suppose moving to the British countryside is out of the question.......

For all of you who have doubts - the answer is 100% the only answer you can come up with. Follow the hint he's given you. Understanding how to apply it is the first step. Once you have that it should all fall into place quickly.

While I agree that the answer is a 100% lock, you can then see that there is more than one way to submit it. If you follow the hints he’s given you, I see two ways to submit the solution, in addition to simply writing the persons full name.

On shore! It’s been awhile since I’ve had a chance to solve so I owe you all an update on our travels. My husband, our dog and I finally made it to the “end of the world” after one year driving from the Georgia, USA to Ushuaia, Argentina!! We are in Buenos Aires now enjoying a month of down time before we head back to the states and back to reality…

@OliviaL what an awesome adventure! I was just in Ushuaia 2 weeks ago but I went via cruise ship headed for Antarctica! We took a tour to the end of the world/Pan American Hwy aka Rte. #3 ( see photo) and my husband commented how he would like to drive it all from Alaska to Ushuaia! Probably never going to happen but we loved seeing your photo! Enjoy Buenos Aires ( loved it —that was the end of our cruise then we flew back to ATL) . Safe travels!

Looking at your photo in my not quite caffeinated state, I forgot not everyone uses commas for thousands separators. I was thinking those were really precise distances and that kilometers must be much longer than I remembered.

Ashore with help that shouldn't have been needed. Thanks!

Good luck winning the mug. And don't forget the Last Call zoom tonight at 8 pm ET using the link at the top of the page.

And finally don't forget that you won't be receiving the longed for email tomorrow that you won the mug as the WSJ won't be published tomorrow.

And finally don't forget that you won't be receiving the longed for email tomorrow that you won the mug as the WSJ won't be published tomorrow.

If my experience over the past few years is any indicator, I won't be receiving the longed for email tomorrow (or Tuesday) for an entirely different reason. Luck.

Yet I keep submitting. And keep hoping. And keep drinking.

Ah, now the reason behind the last of those makes sense.

A note to @ship4u

Now that I looked at your video on YouTube, everywhere I go, every web page I open that has ads, I now have people trying to sell me anvils.

On shore

[drbockel2]

We think we’re on shore. Curious to see the official answer to confirm.

[Momo]

On my second week with the Friday CW. My daughter likes to guess the meta post finished CW, so I send it to her. Pretty sure her answer is correct and I am wrong. That makes her 2-0 and me 0-2. Starting to question why I had children.

[Barney]

I believe distance solving partner and I solved this, this morning. Almost never happens so late. Total lock? Not sure but couldn’t get closer than 99%.

It brings to mind that song by The Police, "I'll be watching you." Must be the theme song for big tech! I always know when Cynthia is searching for something.

Ashore. Submitted.
Last week was one minute late;
My teeth were gritted!

[KscX]

Ashore.

Seems like a cross marketing opportunity somewhere in there for Advil as well

Oops, I was trying to reply to LadyBird:))

Made it to shore with a lot of help from WLW. It’s a good thing she is patient: I had made a critical error and was doing the right thing but it was never going to work!

[Ben B]

On shore! Made it while waiting to take off from the Savannah airport. Now I can relax and enjoy the flight. Fun puzzle once again.
