I'd be happy to give a nudge to anyone wanting one.

Matt just got me in my blind spot. I literally had it written out since yesterday afternoon.

Waiting for a beam up, feeling confident.

Somehow (my time stamp shows when I do most of my work, haha) I managed beaming up. Nice mechanism. This seems like a 3.5, and I conjecture some might say it's a solid 4. But this was a great puzzle in any case!

Beamed up but needed help. Officially a group solve. I will be assigned to quarters until further notice. I am on the sandbar with WSJ. Hoping for a purer result next week.

Done! Really liked the construction on this one.

Really liked it, but needed a lot of direction support.

Beam me up!

Awaiting confirmation, but confident.

I needed some encouragement from a helpful fellow Muggle, to confirm I was on the right track. (Group solve!) It has been a bit tough to focus on puzzles while on a vacation weekend. Mackinac Island! Many distractions here.

EDIT: On the board! Fun puzzle!

Solved, but not without help. This was a group solve for sure!

Same here — needed some confirmations of paths I was on to even WANT to keep going. That. Took. Hours. Yeah I’d rate that as a 4.5.

Fortunately I was finding the paths I needed, just needed people to shove me forward and say “you’re sooo close!” because the paths didn’t always seem that slam-dunky. (“Okay well that kinda works, but what the heck does that mean?? Maybe I should just try something else.” ) At the end the “something else” was very nearly wadding up the paper and doing something ELSE.

THANKS, discreet nudgers! Beam me up and then find me a quiet berth to nap on.

Submitted. Very confident. Just needed the slightest of nudges to get there.

On further review this puzzle was very neat and tidy. I thought it was a bit clunky at the end but the awkwardness was mine.

Well with some VERY helpful nudges and course corrections I finally arrived at the answer. This one was so darn complex I am not even sure how I would nudge someone. This puzzle is, IMNSHO. BRILLIANT, scary so but still brilliant.

As a rudimentary constructor I'd view this as discovering that Hydrochloric acid and Sodium Hydroxide, when mixed, gives you warm salt water versus the discovery and proof of radium. I KNOW I will never do one like this and that kind of makes me sad.

Made it with a nudge. Great puzzle.

Same here! I was fumbling around, totally unsure whether I was lost in a rabbit hole, until I got a nudge that confirmed that I was on the right track after all. Things fell into place pretty quickly after that!

Beamed up.....

As usual go flying down the road on the way to the solution and right when I'm there.... go make a wrong turn and dig around in some rabbit holes. A bit of nudge to get me to open my eyes.

Thanks.

Beam me up! Had to come back to this one after staring fruitlessly over the weekend. Fun puzzle!

Seems like I picked a bad week to be off the grid for much of the solving window.

Before anyone gets a WOW how did he do that from my #6 placement and 12:20 solve, that is a complete artifact I am sad to admit. I mistakenly submitted my answer to the WSJCC to the MGWCC, sending in WATER proudly around 12:20 when I finally got it. I then did a head slap butt kick and proclaimed "NUMBSKULL" and e-mailed Matt who calmed me by saying it happens often (which I translate to, "yeah some blithering idiot does it at least once a week") and that I should just submit it to him when I did get it. So, with much help from generous solvers I got the answer and when I submitted it to Matt he entered it where my name was, voila #6. So, even though I will screen shot it and probably put it on a T-shirt, no the heck with that I'll have it embroidered on my lab coat (not unlike the brave little tailor who "Killed 7 with one blow"), it is not a placement I deserve or ever expect to get in reality.

It was the tiniest of nudges, but I wouldn't have crossed the finish line without it.

Beam me up with a big sigh of relief.

Beamed up after getting a great nudge from Nudge Doctor (you can guess). Sometimes you can say right church, wrong pew . . . . I think in this case I was in right county, wrong state.
