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.

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

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

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)

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

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

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.BrianMac wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 12:20 pmAgree.

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?

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?
