Awaiting beam… clever, challenging puzzle. Could’ve been solo, but gave in to a bit of rabbit-hole confirmation to make it to the finish line. Tough week 2, but it all depends on what you see and when.

Thoroughly lost for the first time in 2024. If anyone would like to PM me their favorite nudge, I would be a very happy solver.

On the board at #82. This one was more difficult than I anticipated for a week 2!

There was a meta a while back where Matt asked us to rate the meta's difficulty. I'd say about a Week 3 for this one, but everyone's mileage may vary!

Oog. Got it with a group solve (well a group of others solve and one spinning donuts and pointing out every weird observations that he *knew* were wrong).

I'm going to say this is a very solid week 4.

EDIT: Argh! I forgot to check group-solve!

Got it from a small nudge from @ajk

Struggled in at #95. Needed help to get started.

Whew!!! In retrospect, probably a week 2 but definitely a SAD week 2. Emphasis on the "D" for me! I must have tried everything BUT, first.

Didn't have much time to work on this during this weekend, but I'm on the board at #124. Agree with @KayW. This was a SAD meta. Maybe a week 2--maybe not. But definitely SAD.

After a very busy weekend, finally got to look at this Monday morning. Luckily after about 40 minutes, was able to see something that worked. To me it played like a week 2, but I can see for some this feeling more like a week 3. Beamed at 152.

Beamed up. Clever.

(I wish the leaderboard would update more frequently. It’s been like nine hours since the last update)

(#160)

Awaiting the beam... [Ugh!]

... and I'm beamed at #184.

Not seeing it at all. Got a nudge and I still don't see anything.

Even with a choice of only 10 possible answers, I can't see any possibility of a back-solve. (Not that that ever works for me.)

Edit: thanks @MMe for the hint that got me there!

Oofda, I’d love it if some kind muggle could drop me a nudge

Normally I’d PM someone and tell them what I’ve tried, but I’ve only noticed a bunch of interesting aberrations that almost certainly aren’t meta related

I'm lost in space. I've printed it out and will try again, but I'm not seeing anything.

Okay. Finally figured it out. Would not have gotten it without the nudge. Awaiting transporter beam.

I'm struggling with this one - looking for a nudge to get me started. Thanks!

Whew, finally saw it. Beamed up.

On the board, I had tried every other way of thinking about "odd," and initials is one of the standard tools. So I felt kind of stupid for needing a nudge telling me to pay attention to them.
