Late start as usual, beam up requested. Impressive! I suspected how it would work halfway through the grid, but it took me a while just to finish the other half.

That was fun. A bit of deja vu, then, oh but it’s different, then, “now he’s just showing off!” :)

It took me awhile to solve the grid & longer create the spreadsheet, then I took a break. When I revisited (while watching PGA), I had the epiphany.

I don't enjoy 21x21 grids but see the need. This is yet another well-crafted meta!

Late start but beam has been requested! I really enjoyed this despite how much I relied on Google for the grid. I hope it's allowed to say here, too, that the answer happens to be one of my favorite things.

Why do you need to drink Chai tea in a secret location?

Filled out the grid, slowly on Puz, during back-to-back 8U baseball games. Had to grab a piece of paper to help figure out the answer, but thankfully came to me quicker than the grid solve!
Beamed inside the top 100. I’ll take it for a mobile solve ;)

Well I believe I have done the first step, and it looks pretty clear what I have to do to get the next one, I just cannot do it. Perhaps sleep will clear the cobwebs from going down way too many dead ends.

Grid a slog, meta step 1 a no brainer, and meta step 2 a very rewarding AHA! Awaiting beamage.

Beamed! Fun puzzle. Really enjoyed this one after the struggle bus last week.

Awaiting response from the transporter room.

EDIT: Beamed aboard.

I stumbled across the final step while trying to force what I was sure needed to be done. This seems like a very difficult construction. And thank goodness for LASIK surgery so I could read the clues!

Finished the grid and have found what I'm sure is step 1. I will keep looking at what I've created but may need a nudge later.

The eye exercise I got from solving the grid probably made it easier to see the solution. :lol: :lol:
Beam me up!

Submitted and awaiting confirmation, but 💯 confident!

That grid was something else, but worth the slog!
