Joining the doubters on the beach. It feels right…but missing the clicks

Quick swim to shore! Now I think I'll pull out one of the old ones I've never finished but have been saving for a rainy day.

Ashore. Make it water, please.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Wow, I think beach space may be at a premium this week. ASHORE!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Just curious what form confirmation can be other than we both got the same result.

Everyone I've talked to has gotten the same result as I have for the exact same reason but I can't really consider that "confirmation" if we could all be wrong.

So I'm building a little moat in the sand on the beach and pretending I on a boat and.... oh, my gosh. I just had a child hood memory that at recess that was what I *always* did. I sat in a corner of the sand box (actually it was a redwood chip box) and dug a circle around myself and pretended I was on a boat.

Ashore... in an unsatisfied sort of a way, where the answer seems clear but not as spelled out as I would want...
Fairly confident it's right but hoping to see a more satisfying element of the mechanism that I might have missed.
Happy to receive a message from anyone who felt that it robustly and satisfyingly clicked into place, but it seems from posts here that that wasn't the case for others too :)
Always nice to read this forum - happy weekend to you all!

Ashore. Simple enough not to warrant any Occam's razor principle.
