Well played. I got this cassette (along with other classics from Chicago, Weird Al Yankovic, Huey Lewis and the News, and Asia) one Xmas when I was 11 or 12.

I would be interested. I'm seeing nothing but will be working on it today. What time zone?
Sorry, Eastern.

On shore. Had the right idea early, just couldn't get it across the finish line.

Ashore. Total time for puzzle & meta around 30m. Not the hardest meta in history, but not a total walk in the park, and what elegant execution. Really enjoyed this one.
Check out the meta challenge at Lexicon Devil

Latest puzzle: "Reach for the Stars," December 5, 2024

Deadline: Thursday, December 12, 2024, 12 pm Eastern

Super-Secret Contest Meta deadline is December 31, 2024, 11:59 PM Eastern

Is there WSJ's Saturday Crossword and Saturday Variety Puzzle this week?
Have I forgotten some holiday perhaps?
President’s Day or St. Hilbert's "Axiomatisches Denken" Day
Wenn wir die Tatsachen eines bestimmten mehr oder minder umfassenden Wissensgebietes zusammenstellen, so bemerken wir bald, dassdiese Tatsachen einer Ordnung faehig sind. Diese Ordnung erfolgt jedesmal mit Hilfe eines gewissen Fachwerkes von Begriffen in der weise, dass dem einzelnen Gegenstande des Wissensgebietes ein Begriff dieses Fachwerkes und jeder Tatsache innerhalb des Wissensgebietes eine logische Beziehung zwischen den Begriffen entschpricht. Das Fachwerk der Begriffe ist nichts anderes als die Theorie des Wissensgebietes.

Anyone else have The Fixx earwormed?
The only way I could get it out of my head last night was to substitute Baby Shark for it.

Of course I alter the lyrics from baby shark to maggie shark.

Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.
