I see things but I doubt they're the right things. Must be missing something right in front of me...

And, it's in there.

My inspirational reminder when accepting the challenge while refusing a "nudge"

What a long way to go making it to the shore, at least for the 100% answer. Had to get the crucial nudge though. Any drink will do after that one! Although, I guess there are other ways to get the same answer, however with less certainty.

Ashore, after some unnecessary overthinking. Unnecessary overthinking -- is there any other kind?

Ashore, after being yanked out of a entire Warren of rabbit holes and pointed at step one, it rolled quickly from there. So clever.

Wow, I'm ashore, but it was getting really complex, before I uncomplicated it. One part seems unnecessary, though.
Also, I'll have to wait to say something about the answer.

I see what he did there. I'm on shore.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Ashore. It really was a long way to go.

A lot to unpack after the fact here.

On shore after the Zoom call. I was actually closer than I'd thought earlier, but didn't put enough time into the puzzle.

Wow. that was a lot of work. Neat meta once you get the hang of it but definitely a bit different. Oddly enough the answer I got was the one I decided it was in the first 10 minutes of the puzzle for reasons everyone who solved will know but that I cannot mention until later. This would probably mark the 1st time I was absolutely right for absolutely the wrong reason(s).

Ashore, skipping lettuce and going right to Eagle Rare - I deserve it today (not for the puzzle, just in general...)
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 rabbits this far out to sea. Meeting The Smarter Half in person tomorrow, so maybe she can give me a shove.

Ahoy, Isaac!
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

What a doozy of a multi-dimensional puzzle! I definitely needed the Zoom life raft, but it was an enjoyable journey with a pleasant destination.

Just about time for some 11D - cheers folks!
