What cruise are you doing? We are doing the Grand European on Viking Oct13-Nov 1, starting in Amsterdam and ending in Budapest.

I hope you enjoy your trip!

I saw something and I can't unsee it. Now trying to backsolve to get to the answer. Never good! Maybe a glass of wine or two will get me out of this line of thinking.

Had no clue, then broke for a Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy (or three). Funny how much that helped! Count me on shore.

So many little ideas that work in only one spot. And ideas in the spot just given to us.
GUAVA is not an anagram of VAGUE

If you like Rows Gardens check out my mini ones here: viewforum.php?f=41. Nudges are free on the off chance I’ve solved the meta.

Ashore!
I had to put it down to go out for the evening, but that one little thing nagging at the back of my mind the whole time turned out to be the key once I got home and took another look at it.
Bespoke nudges available upon request (if I'm on shore, off the couch, in the castle, petting an un-bagged cat, ...).
Let me know how small or large a hint you want, or hit me with a specific question(s).

On shore with a slight hint. As said before, tricky.

Clearly level D on LadyBirds graph ( see last weeks post #165) of solving probability. Maybe E.

I dived in the ocean after a shiny thing, but swam back to the boat and for now I'm enjoying A&W zero root beer at the bar. Looking forward to taking another try this weekend. I like the challenge.

REMINDER: All are welcome to join us for the Friday Muggle Zoom at 4:30 pm Eastern Time today! I suspect that we may have a large crowd to welcome me back from Britain.

Click on the Muggle Zoom Room tab at the top of the page to join us. Hope to see you there!
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!
