Just click the "Muggle Zoom Room" icon at the top of this page. ALL are welcome! We really do have fun. And c'mon, what else are you doing on the Friday before Thanksgiving, anyway -- you don't even have the Week 3 MGWCC to work on yet!

Will be about to board a plane, but will be with you in spirit (and in current level of success with the meta).

I guess I might as well state explicitly that I am enjoying Isaac's hospitality once again, though perhaps it's getting to the point where I should just be assumed on the ship unless otherwise stated.

Good Friday morning muggles

So far we have 12 on the ship and 20 on the shore so it is solvable

Matt believed that it was easy-medium so we must be overthinking it (a muggle overthink a meta!! I am shocked! Shocked!)

And Wendy is organizing a Zoom group think at 8 pm EST tonight (see post 40 and a picture of the cute redhead a couple of years ago)

I am still w Isaac. The last month of meta's (WSJ, Gaffney, MMMM) have really made me rethink the whole endeavor. And I have done HUNDREDS of these! But still I persist.

I’m on the ship with Isaac. At this point I can’t even see a rabbit hole to pursue. Aaauurgghh!

I’m at sea and getting very discouraged.

I'm at sea, though I think I spy what I am supposed to do I cannot do it for everything I should. If it is NOT what I am supposed to do it is a big dang coincidence. I'll struggle on though and try to solve just so I can prove I can. However, I'll reserve my place for a last minute nudge....

4D is taunting me.

I will be at a dinner reservation at 7, but please PM me if I can be of any assistance.

Ashore.

My Merry Month at Sea

Oh, never mind the rags of sail,
The leaping deck, the shrieking gale,
The stinging rain, the blinding snow,
The weary, sleepless watch below.

I have it easy, don't you see:
A beer to weather, wine alee,
And friendly Isaac fills my glass
Whene'er the meta kicks my shin.

(At sea, Cruise Director Bob)

I got a push and made it to shore.

Easy-medium? Yikes!

Still firmly on the ship.

I’m ashore. This seems like a case of lost confidence, fellow solvers! You can do it.

Nope, I'm as cocky as ever about my mad meta skilz ... though I have logged about 4 hours of precious time staring at this puzzle after filling the grid easily. Just. Don't. Spy. It.

This is getting old...

On the ship and probably overthinking this one. Time to put it aside.

I've been out to sea so long I think I'm gonna need to find a bigger ship...No luck yet on this one. I'll be hanging out with Isaac until last call.

On the ship as well. Very frustrating, but not giving up!

On the ship....have found only rabbit holes.

I haven't been doing these puzzles for very long and got super demoralized after last few weeks.. hoping to get on shore. Solved grid and mulling it over
