Am I to translate that as being on the shore?Limerick Savant wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 12:13 pm The Savant, it can now be reported,
Seeing how they had clearly consorted,
Found his seat at the table.
What’s more, he was able
To do it and not be escorted.

After a "can't sleep, get up out of bed at 3am and ponder..." count me ashore; unsatisfied and looking forward to the "more elegant" solution on Monday.

First time Ashore before finishing my first cup of coffee!

Ashore. This solution makes more sense to me now than it did at first!

I can't help seeing that and thinking of the Beverly Hillbillies...

OOH - DC in a snow storm. My favorite time and place. I remember sitting in a plane at Reagan for hours waiting to take off.

On shore. Rain. WA is called the Evergreen State for a reason.

Made it to shore.
Had nothing when I attempted to solve yesterday, a cool and rainy day here in Arizona.
Fortunately today is bright and sunny, but more importantly I took the “just a quick look before I move on” and there is the answer!

Ashore I think. Does not feel like a 100%-er... Maybe this is all a mirage...

I'm very perplexed as to why almost everyone thinks this is an easy puzzle. I mean I guess there's a very guessable answer out there but I have no idea as to what's going on here.

It's raining here too (in places), but we have more than green.

just curious... i always print out the puzzle... enjoy doing the solve on paper... when (if) i figure it all out, i will then enter on the computer and submit... i submitted earlier today with what i believe is the correct answer, but noticed much later a mistake on the grid... i did fix the mistake on my computer, but am not able to re-submit... does this mean i'm still lost at sea, never to reach shore? (no biggie either way, as i said, just curious)
an it harm none, do as thou wilt...

You're fine. The only part of the submission that matters is the meta answer. With the online puzzle, you have to have some letter in every square in order to make the Submit button active, but it doesn't matter what those letters are. And if you submit by email instead, you only send in the meta answer (in the subject line) not the entire grid.haari wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 10:21 pm just curious... i always print out the puzzle... enjoy doing the solve on paper... when (if) i figure it all out, i will then enter on the computer and submit... i submitted earlier today with what i believe is the correct answer, but noticed much later a mistake on the grid... i did fix the mistake on my computer, but am not able to re-submit... does this mean i'm still lost at sea, never to reach shore?

whenever anyone asks me what the weather is out here I explain when you move here you're required to sign an NDA saying that regardless of weather you must say it's raining.

Well...............Marion and I limped to the shore. Not feeling that confident, like many others. Might be a pageant in here somewhere - if so, we're toast. We'll all know Sunday night!

I'm just interested in how the answer's mechanism is described on Monday's puzzle.
