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!

Solved! My teammate gave me props on this one since I saved us from overcomplicating things. Happy to be on the beach!

I'm not familiar with the Discord mechanics, but it seems like Discord shouldn't open up until page 1 has been filled here (assuming it's forum people on Discord. If they have no knowledge of the forum, obviously they can't be expected to be bound by forum expectations).benchen71 wrote: Thu Dec 12, 2024 8:31 pmI'm not ashore as yet.

Regarding the "wait til page 2" talk, I agree. I posted on page one and then later read Wendy's comment. I didn't even think about letting the solo solvers into First Class before me! I wish I'd waited. Thanks for opening my eyes, Wendy!
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.

On shore via a starting push from Discord (so, not submitting, but glad to join the beach party). That was a very hard one to spot… congrats to those who got it on their own!
The other Wendy.

I agree with the “page 1 vs page 2” posts. Let solo solvers take page one. They’ve earned it If I group solve again or solve with a nudge, I’ll wait till page 2.
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward.

I joined the discord discussion for a few weeks, but I stopped using it. What's the fun of getting help to solve the puzzle?
The race to end up on page one of this discussion is a silly ego race. Don't you think it is more admirable to struggle all weekend and as a Hail Mary, ask for help at 11 pm on Sunday night?
I'll remind you that I won the mug back in May when I submitted the answer 'R-Rated' at 11:45 pm on that Sunday night.

Seems like a tough one this week. I’m just not seeing it. I guess I’m on the ship a little longer.
Thanks to all the muggles in this group. Participating is the highlight of the week!
