Wow! This is really bizarre. Either he went way above and beyond to complete trick and confound us, or he made a horrible error.

The tricking and confounding is 90% convincing... except it contains an error that just *can't* be reconciled.

Beamed up at #76. Liked this one

I thought so, too, but then I had two insights that reconciled everything.

Awaiting the beam... [Fun one, without being entirely straightforward!]

... and I'm beamed at #100!

I figured out the mechanism but looks like I'm going to wait for a couple individuals to go to bed so I can concentrate and finish

Finally! Beamed!

Okay. Reconciled enough but.... on wobbly (but acceptable) legs. Interested in hearing others opinions.

Was OUT for quite awhile on a related but divergent path. I found it neat and tidy whdn I finally got there.

Beamed!

keep looking, it's not an error, you're looking at the wrong grid entry

on the pad, beamed, awaiting reassembly of the atoms at the destination

happy with a week 3 solo!

Submitted, I missed the last update but confident. I took longer than I should have to get past the first step but I think it is an elegant and solvable puzzle. I also thought there was an inexplicable error at the end but on further examination I was able to reconcile it (find my error), hopefully awaiting.

Late start, but a quick enough solve. Some really good stuff in this one!

Beamed! The grid was very difficult for us and took quite a bit of time and thought to complete. I saw what I needed to straight away, but I couldn't put it all together without sleeping on it. Hard work but a lot of fun, indeed.

Beamed with a bit of a nudge. The rabbit hole I first went down is leading me to a meta of my own.

That was a workout! I had (most) all of the pieces, but needed a nudge to get me within transporter range. Should be enjoying a drink at the Ten Forward before too long.

Beamed up. Brilliant meta, and it all ties together nicely in the end.

A perfect week 3, I think. Challenging, but not completely inscrutable, with rabbit holes aplenty, a great metanism and subsequent aha! Really loved this one!

Beamed aboard. This was a fun one to work through with a chuckle at the end.

If it hadn't been for the red herring (which I didn't care for at all) I thought it would be the perfect week 2. Certainly more apt as a week 2 then nearly any of the week twos for the last year or so. .... but the red herring was... not difficult, but a definite curve ball. For me at least. It doesn't seem to have bothered others all that much at all but it sure bothered me.

It was nice to have a week 3 that didn't require 20 minutes of banging a head on a wall. Admittedly the three hours of scratching the fingernails on my scalp weren't entirely cost free, but it was a lot less painful than head banging.

Terrific meta!

Got step 1 on the plane-will call it heightened inspiration. No idea what to do next!!

Stay well all
