Scotty must have been standing the the transporter room waiting because I called for beam up and found myself on the leaderboard in seconds.

Was this Week 4 easier than usual or am I getting smarter? Has to be the former.

I'm on the board! I thought it was pretty tricky.

This THIRTYSOMETHING is beamed up!

I thought it was unique. Definitely at least Week 3, but I could see it leaning more 3.5. Took some staring to dust off the cobwebs.

I've solved it! I'm willing to give nudges to anyone who wants a push.

I've solved and submitted, but I can't figure out what the (7) is about in the last theme entry.

This one took all afternoon. First a very wrong path that seemed to be going somewhere…until it wasn’t. And even after I saw what to do, it still was hard and ultimately required some backsolving.

I see that Matt updated the Leaderboard at 3:54 a.m. I suspect that time of the night was Ada-related?!

Finished the grid and enjoyed the journey. Now on to synonyms and antonym and some weird math.

Yesterday I fell into a deep, deep rabbit hole (so many notes!). Today I started fresh, saw the beginnings of an idea, followed it up, and then I was beamed up before I knew it. It's nice to have my mojo back after last week's debacle.

Answer submitted!

Not confirmed but it looks like a 100% er. I had the idea very early once i saw a way "in" but I was not certain until I got a slap along side the head. Glad I persisted, this one feels good because I have had TERRIBLE luck with the MGWCC of late.

Awaiting the name on the leaderboard - hoping, hoping, hoping......

EDIT: #124 - seems that is about my usual spot so I'm delighted. Heck I am happy to be on the board at all.

Oh, and while waiting in the transporter waiting room I picked this up in the gift store

In between hurricanes, I was able to beam up.

I didn't see the comment about the ? right away. That did help to get to the solve, with a nudge.

Got it, with a little elbowing. The mechanism I wanted it to be woulda been funner… maybe I need to try making one someday. (Must start writing down my ideas for mechanisms!)

Beam. Ish.

Got it.... With first step help from my brother and sister - in - law. Then I led them to the final mechanism.... Great teamwork.

IMO a lot more accessible than a typical week 4… or maybe this Neuriva is finally kicking in 😂 Either way, I’ll take it… Beam me aboard, Mr. Scott!

I submitted a Hail Mary because I won't have the time to detangle this one.

I can't fathom how Matt can keep creating these puzzles (multiples per week!!!) with so much freshness and new intrigue! Kudos!!!
