"Eton Must Change" January 10, 2025

We have arrived on shore!

As the Brits would say, today's ZOOM was the "bee's knee's." The discussion turned lively as we debated whether we were being pageanted as there appears to be a solid arguement for either of 2 answers. Meanwhile, our poor solving strugglers were scratching their heads. In the end, it appeared to be all smiles.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Super fun ZOOM session today!
Is Matt Gaffney another Iago, hiding behind a veil of ambiguity?
"And what's he then that says I play the villain?"
We will find out on Monday. Stay tuned amigos for the reveal. Could be a marketing ploy!

Quite the lively and entertaining Zoom today with plenty of spirited debate! Once I arrived at the dual shore, all of the previously-baffling discussions about which answer is correct made perfect sense. Once someone brought up the possibility of a *third* answer, it was time for me to just commit to one and call it a week.

Have a great weekend, and I'll be curious to see the results on Monday!

Well, I came to the site to say that I’m ashore, with a less-than-confident answer, but now that I see the doubts expressed here, I’m gonna stay on the ship and see whether a couple of Issac’s excellent but potent Manhattans clarify things.

Snowing in Indy, expecting 3 inches atop the 8-9 we got a few days ago. Headache for condo association president (me).

On the shore!

On shore with help from zoom. I can sort of see what people mean by a second answer, but I would be shocked if that’s what was intended.

I am on the ship debating between three answers.

Either way, I believe my comment on last week’s puzzle was quite prescient.

Ashore! I think - seemed too quick of a solve for a noob like me that doesn't always figure the meta out. Happy to join the group!

On shore. I m thinking of a cocktail that is out of this world.
Suggestions?

On shore, I think.
PAGEANT also comes to mind.

I keep seeing references to a pageant response. Would someone please point me to the puzzle or Muggle discussion that generated this mythical Sword of Damacles? Thanks.

Oh, Puzzle Buddy Jane and I are ashore. I'd like a Racer 5 IPA, s'il vous plait.

[HeyMikey]

Ashore. I was just about to report in from Isaac's. But while perusing another section of the WSJ over lunch, I saw a headline that gave me an idea, and it wasn't a rabbit hole.

Is Friday at 1330 too early for an IPA?

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Thanks, Heidi! That was before I was introduced to the contest. Kudos to the forum administrators for keeping such interesting history for us relative newbies.

I'm glad to hear you are safe and I hope that will continue to be so.

[BigPear]

Okay, I found the other step and see why people are debating between two answers. What’s in a name?
