Today’s meta is by MGWCC veteran Peter Gwinn. Peter (on the left in photo below) is a comedian who lives in Chicago and writes for NPR’s “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me!” In his free time he writes trivia puzzles for AVCX and articles about doing escape rooms with your kids for Room Escape Artist. He met Kermit the Frog when he used to write for “The Colbert Report”.
Let’s see what Peter has in store for us…
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
This puzzle’s contest answer is something you can use to solve it.
Good luck! NOTE: there are two PDFs; use whichever one you prefer (or both even!).

UPDATE:
Dear Solver:
Two notes on today's meta:
1) In the clue to 40-Across, "Northwest" should read "Northeast." Apologies for the error there.
2) Solvers using only the Across Lite file should also scan the PDFs if they are not seeing a certain mark before five clues. They are on the PDF and most solvers are seeing them in the Across Lite files but I'm told certain solvers are not.
