Only second time in top ten! A few weeks back I posted that I doubt I'll ever be first, but I will take 7th any day.

Shoot. I think I missed my chance to unlock my only remaining achievement: "Egg-cellent (solve a puzzle on Easter)." Now I've got to wait a year!

On the board at lucky #13. I felt some impending dread as we get deeper into the month, but this time I saw the light and moved toward it relatively quickly.

I can't understand why there isn't a bigger crowd on the leaderboard --
Wait! I think I know now -- there's a bunch of solvers, waiting to submit for the Easter achievement. Silly me.

Um... anyone else have an issue with 45D? (totally off topic and derailing)
Edit: Either 1) I did the grid entirely wrong, or 2) Matt has no idea what a 45D is or 3) Matt is momentarily confusing it with something else (perhaps a OHFUGVG?)

So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Pretty sure I have it now but definitely didn't right away. Waiting for Easter for that achievement! (Sorry, @Al Sisti, haha.)

Hmm, I guess I should try for that. I'm just worried I'm so impatient.

Welp.. I have an answer that suits the prompt and the findings very well, but it makes this more like a week one than a week 3. Anybody knowuddimean? (DM me)
UPDATE - yes, many of us are of the same mind. Will submit on Easter Sunday if nothing more amazing occurs to me!
