Well I got a #3 this week; can't see myself ever getting higher than that though. That's some rarified air...BarbaraK wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 6:39 pm 2D?? Wait, Love Boat is WSJ; this is the Enterprise, right? We're getting the various board metaphors confused
I've beamed up! I was worried when I saw the title since poetry is not a strong suit, but quickly was reassured filling the grid that this would be OK. I think a week 5 last week and a week 2 this week average out to a 3 and a 4 for the latter half of this month.
And with this, I've achieved my solo-solve goal. I was trying for 48. Didn't quite make it in 2019, but got close enough to feel that it was in reach and decide to try again. This year, made it with two to spare. I'm rather pleased with myself, but I've also had enough of that. It's certainly been a challenge and made me a better solver, but I'm ready to go back to social solving whenever the whim arises.
I see a new page on Matt's site for Achievements. Looks like he's got some replacements for the old random drawings. One of them is being the first to solve. Maybe I'll have to set a new goal and start trying to guess from just the title and prompt.

I'm no speed solver - not by any stretch. You won't see me competing at the MMM 1A.
