And, to quote a meta a couple of weeks ago, holy moly. I literally just got it.

I've followed many leads to dead ends. I was in the top 20 for 3 of the 5 weeks of January and I'm gonna be thrilled if I even manage to solve this one by the deadline.

Can't decide whether it is more frustrating to have absolutely zero start or to have made progress but not quite gotten it. Since I'm currently at zero, that feels most frustrating right now, but pretty sure I felt the opposite last week when I was almost there.

As someone who used to make these things I second this. Don't want to say too much and risk giving a spoiler but I'm flabbergasted at how Matt pulled this idea off.

At this point, I consider myself happy to have learned a new word. Not a clue otherwise.

Beamed up! I thought I was in for a very long weekend - especially when I had to google the title word which I'd never heard of.

At least you know you're on the doorstep. I'm still hunting truffles in the yard. Or something like that.HeadinHome wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 2:54 pmWell I can tell you, to be right on the doorstep and unable get the door unlocked is pretty durn frustrating right now...ajk wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 11:27 am Can't decide whether it is more frustrating to have absolutely zero start or to have made progress but not quite gotten it.

Hi all. Is anyone aware of a post with an approach to numbers in parentheses? I looked and can’t find one. Of course I have many ideas however none panning out.
Thanks and stay well
