Apologies - was not meant to post the link.
This puzzle lends itself to the Excel form, if you're stuck or need to create multiple views. MGWCC subscribers can request it via PM.

Neat-O!
Hey, is this thing new where you click on a name in the leaderboard and it lists "achievments," or have I just been oblivious?

I'm a bit new to puzzling - what's an Orca contender? Sounds good, though!
Nothing yet by any means. I feel I could go down a rabbit hole on this one if I'm not careful. I usually do, though, haha. This'll be for my first-ever 10-week streak, but we'll see what happens. Wish me luck!!

Great shoutout to Joe and his spreadsheet solutions on Matt's page.
And interesting seeing the links to the new 'acheivements'. One of them is taking advantage of an extended deadline to submit on Wednesday, so the delayed release means that this week is an opportunity to do that. Of course it would require the patience to wait and the confidence that you won't forget, and I don't have those, so I've requested beam up.
I wonder if this is the same puzzle Matt couldn't get to work yesterday and a night of sleep helped him put it all together (as it sometimes does for solvers) or something totally new he came up with in just one day.

Got it - hope to be beamed up soon. Had a tiny hunch based on something that was part coincidence, part not, I guess.
Again, don't know how he does it!
