We are not getting anywhere on this one. But we did have a very nice dinner!
EDIT: On the leaderboard at #24. Only two spots below last week.

At worst, there is a 1.428% chance of guessing right.

One of the stronger first posts I have ever seen

What a difference a week makes, I struggled finding the path last week, this weeks path fell easier for me, but I did my best to try and over complicate as usual.

I knew someone would do the math. Thank you.

Man! I was looking forward to a new Pandora’s Blocks tomorrow as a brief respite from the MGWCC, but I see that’s off this week. Maybe the MMM will drop in early

Beamed.

With help.

His are weird, though.

I have some thoughts/observations but can't get things to click. Does anyone want to compare notes?? I mIssed the Discord window.

I would love to discuss as well. Everything I'm trying is enticing but then leads nowhere. I am leaving on an extended trip in the morning so REALLY want to solve by this evening. I have really worked hard on this one but def need a nudge.

Solved, with help. That was hard.

I’m still able to access the Discord window (? some are saying it’s closed??).

I have solved, by the way, thanks to some expertly gentle nudging from Petey on there. (Is this an alias for someone on HERE? I don’t see a “Petey” username… maybe @peteg?

Confirmed at #33.

I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!!

Right behind you at #34. I forced my way to the answer before being nudged to solve in the more elegant manner that Matt intended.

Ditto! I think I’m supposed to say “Beamed Up” but after that ordeal, I’ll just say “On the couch” to wait for Monday…

They had a sale at the rowing store - that was an oar deal.

Thanks to those who have reached out, but I have decided to say “f off” to this puzzle (apologies for the vulgarity). I’m not spending another second looking at this dreaded Grid of Impossibility. My sanity (what’s left of it) must last just a little bit longer.

I saw what I thought was the elegant way and STILL forced it. lol

I received a nice note from Matt though. Made the struggle worth it!

My understanding is, and Petey can correct me if I'm wrong, is the Discord is closed to new people signing it. But those of us who signed in earlier can still sign in and chat about.... well, how we were all in bed when it was solved and all those posts are now deleted and we still have no frigging idea.

Oh, and Simpson's quotes. There's always Simpson's quotes. (I once said to my sister-in-law "What are you, the possible police" and to my surprised she laughed even though she didn't know the reference."

Yep! The intent was to have people solve together, but not be able to join after the solve and glean the answer with no effort. And I think it worked out great. The nice thing about Discord is I can create a new channel for the next puzzle and do the same thing all over again. I probably won't do this every single week but definitely stay tuned for the next time we're all in despair.
