AP Math - Bonus Meta

[KayW]

This is a bonus meta puzzle for those who donated to Pete's tip jar by December 28th. It looks like you can still donate to the tip jar, but it sounds like it's too late for that to get you a copy of the puzzle.

The meta for this puzzle is a mathematical symbol.

There's no submission form for this puzzle, and a link to the solution is provided within the email.

Another very clever meta from Pete. A-Plus!

Fun one!

Well, I see something.... I'll keep working on it.

EDIT: Oh, OK, I got it. That was fun.

I was mystified at first, but then the light bulb went on and I see it, very nice.

[ChrisKochmanski]

Got it!

After trying to way over-complicate this, I finally looked at what I had in a different way and saw the answer. Nice.

Now to write and send a nice comment for Pete's promo (because I'm definitely too camera shy to make a recording.)

Dang - Pete's email summary of the 2021 MMMM/Megameta said there would be a 2022 MMMM starting today ("The first puzzle will come out on January 4th, and then continue the first Tuesday of each month thereafter."), but his web site says January 11th. Anticipation is keeping me waiting...

The first puzzle of the year has traditionally (always?) been the second Tuesday in January as Pete closes out the prior year. We just got an announcement with the 2021 winner announced and again mentioning the 2022 MMMM starts next Tuesday (11 Jan).

Right... which was why I was pleasantly surprised to see him say it was starting on January 4th. Ah well, gives me another week to sharpen my pencils and my mind. And to set up a special Megameta section in my notebook that can be added to each month.
