Solved and submitted.
And there goes the streak - was wrong. False Alarm!
Forgot to actually hit "SUBMIT" so had a heart attack when I didn't show up on leader board. Got clued in when I didn't see my name on the overall tab either and scrolled down to see my submission unsent....

And confirmed....phew.

Mine came at 9:08 PDT and I got my solve in at 9:21 PDT, second fastest solve for me I think. Hector explained to me once how to find the puzzle on Matt's site before it comes via email, but I have forgotten, and haven't been able to find the right page/link again to get it earlier. So if you read this Hector, can you please explain it again? Thanks.

Submitted - congratulations to making it to the MGWCC, Will! Really liked this one (apologize if I'm a broken record in saying so!).

Is there a typo in this puzzle? Have two of the same word. Has to be me!

Beam me up! There were several recent Pandora's Blocks where I had no clue, so I was glad to see the path in this one! Very nice.

Pretty sure I got this. Waiting for confirmation. If so, pretty easy for a week 5!

It's week 4/5. But yes, kinda easy for that, probably. Last week's leaderboard filled in much more slowly.

Or a Week 4.
Next week is Week 5.
It is solving faster than last week for sure, so awaiting @MikeyG prognostication of entries.

Probably the range 387 - 424, obviously. (I have no idea.)

On the board, and on board the Enterprise. Sort of a follow your nose experience for me.
