The grid was challenging but do-able. Good meta. Nice how it all ties together.

My first (wrong) answer brought me down some interesting rabbit holes as I researched for the extra credit.
With my next (right) answer, it was considerably easier to make a connection.
Think I'll go relax in my easy chair!

LAS, finished the grid, some ideas for the meta, but nothing very solid.
Have an idea of what the connection should be, but not able to connect the dots, dashes or grid.

Submitted and confirmed on both counts, so I am off the couch!! Always feels good to solve one without having to ask for a nudge. Excellent puzzle!!

Off the couch and confirmed. I had one small part wrong but it still fit so I came up with the answer. I had the extra credit part as soon as i read the title due to a personal interest. I have basically been trying to find the answer that worked. It was tough to word this last comment for reasons I will not expound upon for now.

Submitted a few incorrect carols, but finally got it and the bonus. Fun puzzle!

I got the answers quickly but to my embarrassment, couldn't see the mechanism. I should have opened an albacore tuna can and seen what was inside.

Got it after the first nudge. My first MMM solve!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I'm pretty sure the only way I'll end up on the first page is when I can play it like a trivia game.

Aha moment. Got the extra credit first but submitted the wrong meta answer. Have now gotten it. Not resubmitting. One shot a puzzle. Elegant!
