I'm not ashore as yet. But I did want to thank Wendy for waiting until page 2 before posting. My personal opinion is that page 1 should be reserved for solo (or group) solvers. If you get a discord hint or a nudge from someone who has already solved, then wait for page 2!

Safely on shore...

Solved! My teammate gave me props on this one since I saved us from overcomplicating things. Happy to be on the beach!

Tricky tricky! Ashore

Ashore!

I'm not familiar with the Discord mechanics, but it seems like Discord shouldn't open up until page 1 has been filled here (assuming it's forum people on Discord. If they have no knowledge of the forum, obviously they can't be expected to be bound by forum expectations).

Ashore with a big nudge.

Regarding the "wait til page 2" talk, I agree. I posted on page one and then later read Wendy's comment. I didn't even think about letting the solo solvers into First Class before me! I wish I'd waited. Thanks for opening my eyes, Wendy!

Made it to shore… kind.. of… a… streeeeetch…! In the spirit of 61A grabbing a nice cold Old Style. Cheers

On shore via a starting push from Discord (so, not submitting, but glad to join the beach party). That was a very hard one to spot… congrats to those who got it on their own!

Solved. Tricky one. Had to try many different ideas.

I'm now on shore. Sorry if I put anyone's nose out of joint.

I agree with the “page 1 vs page 2” posts. Let solo solvers take page one. They’ve earned it If I group solve again or solve with a nudge, I’ll wait till page 2.

Assisted Solve Honestly. Order: Rum Eggnog.

Ashore thanks to some nudges. A tough one but a different kind of challenge

Early morning debarkation, just like on real cruises.

Ashore!

I joined the discord discussion for a few weeks, but I stopped using it. What's the fun of getting help to solve the puzzle?
The race to end up on page one of this discussion is a silly ego race. Don't you think it is more admirable to struggle all weekend and as a Hail Mary, ask for help at 11 pm on Sunday night?

I'll remind you that I won the mug back in May when I submitted the answer 'R-Rated' at 11:45 pm on that Sunday night.

Seems like a tough one this week. I’m just not seeing it. I guess I’m on the ship a little longer.

Ashore.
