[Hector]

Week 3 of 5,

This week's contest answer is a Best Picture-winning movie.

(Seems like a week 1 or 2 to me . . .)

Agree. Matt said he was going for a week 2 after last week was more of a week 3 (by number of responses). But this is easy even for week 2. I guessed this one after two theme entries and went ahead and submitted. Probably shouldn't have done that since I'm on a career-high streak, but I couldn't resist. Grateful for another easy one to extend the streak (although I would feel better about saying that if Matt's leaderboard would refresh! )

Edit: OK, there it is.

[Icdogg]

Week 1 I think.

[LesY]

Thanks for the quick trip to...beam me up! Will use the extra time to try to figure out Al's favorite cryptic clue.

[TMart]

Got it. Week 1.5, maybe?

[ChrisKochmanski]

One of my fastest gets yet. Like Brian M., I got it with the second theme entry.

[hcbirker]

Beam me up Scotty! A week 1 in my opinion. I was hoping for more of a challenge, but hey, I'll take it! (Heidi)

[Tina]

I'll probably regret saying this, but after 2 1/2 months of easy ones, I'm ready for a challenge.

[Jeremy Smith]

On shore...um....er....beam me up Scotty!

[Meg]

Week 0.5. But I’m not complaining.

[joequavis]

Beam me up! I did manage to make this one harder than it is.

[Toby]

This was easy. i was hoping for more.

[sharkicicles]

After way overthinking last week and failing terribly, it was nice to get a win. I thought it was a perfect week 2 for a 5-week month. A 1.5, if you will.

The only thing I can figure is that Matt really wanted us to get our streaks up to an even dozen. This was definitely a Week 1.

[Orsys]

Done, but felt like there would be more to it.

[BarbaraK]

Beam me up Scotty!

So Matt's target was 400-500 correct answers for a week 2, right? Doesn't look like he'll have any problem going over 400. But what if there are over 500? Will he declare this the June week 1 puzzle and go right to harder ones next month?

[NaluGirl]

Always wanted to say Beam me up, Scotty! Good to be on board!

[Leslie]

Cute and easy puzzle.

[Anita]

I forgot to post that I'd solved this. Got it well before filling the grid, after perhaps the 2nd theme entry. Week 0 anyone?
