Beam me up. Like some others, I found it a tad harder than the usual week one.

Beamed up at #29. I also found it a bit harder than expected, especially after the very easy WSJCC. I had to put it down to cook some dinner, then pick it up again before the light bulb went off.

Was on the verge of thinking about starting to get irritated -- then I saw what was going on. Beam me up! Thanks, Richard!

Beamed. Stared a bit, but saw some things and then BAM.

That took me longer than it should have, but I have now beamed up. Nice start to guest constructor month.

Beamed up. This feels more like a week 2. I have an alternate answer that doesn't relate to the title, and uses a completely different mechanism, but kind of works.

Easy and fun!
Just what I needed today. Been up since 2:20am this morning. And spent 3 hours (as the passenger, given my sleep-deprived condition) in a car ride that usually takes 2 hours, and couldn't find a way to nap. I'll just curl up on the transporter pad and see where I wake up.

that was a tricksy rabbit today, I followed him for too long before I realized he was a "bit off".
Done, a week 1.25 perhaps, and if this is his debut, a very strong debut!
hopefully at #199 on the board, will know later today.

confirmed at # 202

Beam me up as well. Definitely a week 1 with a satisfying AHA nonetheless.

This was a glass of the house Chardonnay. Pleasant, accessible, with a nice long finish where you know you've got it and kinda just spend some time making sure everything lines up.
