Beamed aboard. Solved the grid as fast as I could as soon as I got it, got the meta like 10 seconds after solving, and still only 25th.

Done. I am liking the pace this month - perhaps week 5 won't be completely hopeless.

Upbeamed. And I didn't even have to look at a map!

Beam me up! Got to the puzzle first thing (usually I don't, 9 AM isn't the best time to take a work break) and still only hit #66. I'll never be a speed solver but I'm O.K. with that :-)

The title seems a little strange. Is there a cleverness I'm missing? (Spoiler tags or PM if so, please.)
