You meant Week 200, right? Man alive, it's a stumper so far! Still chewing.

Can you hear the crickets? I know I can, matter of fact it is all I hear. Every time I notice something that looks like a foothold it doesn't hold up for very long. Impossible as it may sound, I think I am getting worse at these.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

No, you're not... Here's a Nudge Wednesday Eve nudge: The title is the foothold.

I got several ideas but they are all over the place and I just don't have the faith to pursue them as if the aren't it goes nowhere and if they are right I don't know where to take them.
I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.

I'm feeling the same way about metas, DrTom...maybe tomorrow's nudges will help?

Thanks, Al. I submitted what I think makes sense. I came up with it yesterday before the "spoiler" nudges, but I wasn't quite confident enough....
Thanks for the confirmation that I was on the right track. Now, if I just take it a bit farther, I'll have both answers and perhaps a super answer, too!

Confirmed. Thanks Al. Took me a couple of days, but glad to know I haven't completely lost it.

Have tried several times to email Al with my answer, but the emails are sitting in the Outbox. Hopefully they will go out eventually...

Private messages on this board stay in your outbox until the recipient reads them. They're not like regular emails that only sit in your outbox if they can't be sent.

Yeah, sorry; I was in a golf tournament all day and then continued "golfing" with my neighbors by my pool until we ran out of "golf."

Well, I was planning to use this picture for the Thursday afternoon when I get the WSJ puzzle in about 14 minutes and land on page one right after Al ---- but, on second thought, nah, might as well not let it sit around for years and years collecting dust --

Pretty low solve count for an MMM. More often than not, that's a reflection on the constructor, not the solver.

Well FINALLY, I struggled to the finish line. It is much easier and much cleverer than I originally thought. It appears Mr. Sisti has played a gruel trick on us!
Satisfying answer(s) even if the path was tortuous.
Off the couch with a pun (that would make this post two punny!)

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Could NOT resist this cartoon given the reference in the puzzle and the obvious relevance to METAs in general (particularly with our group)

Sometimes it’s a reflection of how hard MGWCC was and how little people have left in their meta tank.
