#598 - "Get Ahead of the Curve"
This week's contest answer is a four-letter course you might take at a 45-Across.

I thought so as well! And this week you solidly beat me to the leaderboard.
I don’t know if Dave is signed up here, but if he is, a big thanks for all the work on MGWCC!

Had the solution half way through the grid, but felt no need to rush on a week 3. Finished the grid to confirm.
Did use the comments to thank Dave (and wonder who the new webmaster at MGWCC will be?)

Got it. I'm always wary of guest constructors, but this was pretty straightforward.

No problem this week. Agree that it seemed pretty straightforward.

Only my second week doing these but am two for two. These seem like the easier Friday contests, but I’m sure that will change next week and I will go from cocky to humble.

Beam me up!
I'm surprised now that it took me as long as it did to get this one. I completed the grid pretty quickly ... drifted into a nap ... then stared for an hour or more (though with occasional distractions) ... before finally saying, "Oh. There it is."
I can see how others, though, got the answer even before finishing the grid. Easy for a Week 3, I'd say.

Very nice! Beam me up as well.
I was trying something very wrong and totally lucked into the right path. Thankfully I now have my weekend back.
What will weeks 4 and 5 bring? (shudder)

I have a plausible answer but it seems... too easy? I suppose that being a guest constructor, especially THIS guest constructor, that I can forgive it not lining up with the normal weekly difficulty but still, I'm hesitant to click that "submit" button.

Beam me up! I too am surprised it took me that long. Several brief sittings, then saw it.
I need to quit looking for what I think it should be much sooner

I agree with others that this one came easy. But I wondered if it would for everyone.

I'm pretty sure I have it. I'll let you know if I can be beamed up.
