Then it's the wrong answer. This is 100% and a very, very solid click. It's about as explicitly laid out an answer as one has ever seen in a meta.
Thanks! Well, it's back to the drawing board.

Al--if you hit the target you'd know it. If you are not 100% your answer is wrong.

Page 3? Really? Hope my answer is right. Looks right. Makes sense (mostly). So I’ll declare sand between my toes.

Looked at it earlier this afternoon and tried a couple things that didn't work. Hope to get it before the Zoom tomorrow. I feel like it's within reach!!
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D
