This week’s contest answer is a country.

Beamed up at #21. I thought I was fast, but clearly completing the grid before thinking about the meta answer is too slow for a week 1 like this. Doing the grid wasn't entirely straightforward, so I lost time there.

Beam me up. Think this is the first time I've ever had a list update occur just as I submitted. <submit><refresh>there I am!

Agree that the grid was tougher than a normal week 1, at least for me.

Grid a bit tougher, but meta not so much. Exercise ran past noon and there are 40 peeople on the board before me!

Woohoo, I beat Jangler! (which means he hasn't gotten around to looking at the puzzle yet.)

Definitely a 1/5.

Me too about the grid. Perfect week one. Happy fourth everyone!

Beamed up. Week 1 for sure.

Got the answer in under 2 minutes, by far the fastest I've ever solved one of these. If I hadn't forgotten the puzzle was coming out until 12:23, I could've been in the top ten... ish...

This is a nice construction, with a lot of entries crossing three or four themers. They're not all perfect, of course, but it's impressive nonetheless.

I tasted victory pretty quickly this week.

First time ever getting the answer before finishing the grid! Beam me up!

That was quick and easy. Beam me up!

Solved - late start - teams meeting lasted long past noon.

Beam me up!

Late start, but just 4:45 to finish the puzzle and simultaneously get the meta.

You know it's easy when over 100 people have gotten it in before you and it's not even 1 pm.

I got to this late and still might have beenin the top 100 except that I spent too much time trying to think of other examples. Not many and not easy except for the one that's also in the NPR Will Shortz Sunday on-air puzzle.

Week 1 all done.

Beam me up!

Done!
