I think Im ashore! after 2 nudges (my record low).

EDIT: made it ashore, confirmed!

fun one! happy to provide a nudge for those still LAS.

On shore.

I was stuck for a day but then became unstuck after going to happy hour and having a Moscow Mule with blackberry. Is that the secret???

So I went back over the puzzle looking for my missing Aha. I found it! Now I am happy happy with my answer. Time for a cuppa! .

Ashore…

Ashore. Glad to free up my Sunday for a change. Stella Artois please.

Good Saturday morning muggles.

Mr. Shenk gave us an interesting meta but we have seen something similar in the past.

And welcome to Guffman who, based on the zoom call on Tuesday has been doing metas for a while.

So far we have 7 on the ship and 154 on the shore.

Good luck to all winning the mug and stay safe

I’ve got an answer but need to confirm. I’ll wait to submit.

On shore!

I am finally on the beach. I threw in the towel and asked for a nudge. NOTE TO SELF: Review meta solving technique notes. I missed a basic one.

As penance, I will not be imbibing at the Tiki Bar! Unless I solve the MGWCC. That one is still all Greek to me!

Night night.

Hang in there! I also totally over complicated it. So, I left it last night and came back fresh today. You’ll get it!

I don’t know about you, but I usually break into “Whatta Feeling” by Irene Cara, from Flashdance.

You’ll get it!

I’m guessing you and I had the same aha moment. I had to leave it last night, but looked again this morning and there it was!

I’m on shore Bob! Totally overcomplicated it yesterday, but saw the piece I was missing this morning.

I made it halfway to shore yesterday but kept treading water. Finally had an epiphany in the kitchen this morning and made it all the way ashore!

I'm think I'm not the first one to notice was an amazing construction this one was. Bravo!

Ashore, pretty fun and clever.

Argh! Still on the ship. Hopefully will get the epiphany soon!

Got it!

I think I have it, but am treading water at the moment contemplating my final answer.

Finally on the beach after being stuck on the boat the last two weeks! This was a really cool one!
