"Deal Breaker" - March 18, 2022

[LadyBird]

Good morning for a belated Sunday status report.


And before we get to status, is there anyone here who is not an alum of St. Peters who picked the Peacocks to advance to the Sweet 16? Please stand up and get our admiration - and then buy some lottery tickets.

My daughter-in-law picked them to go to the Sweet 16--guess she liked the mascot too (I only picked them to upset KY). Even with that great pick, she is down at the bottom of our extended-extended family bracket.

Dragged ashore by @DrTom and his very creative nudges ! Going to sit here and enjoy sunset on the beach.

[Trey]

Marion and I are late to the party but count us on the sand!! Luck to all.............

[JRS51]

Looking at this for the 4th or 5th time I almost gave up; but I felt encouraged by some of the recent posts this afternoon and kept going.
Found I was just a little off in applying the mechanism and AHA! there it was.
Count me on shore!

Looking forward to spring. This is our English Rose garden in June.

[escapeartist]

On shore finally! Golly that was hard!

These Sunday solves are getting stressful.

[CPJohnson]

Good morning for a belated Sunday status report.

First thing - we are going to have a group zoom solve with Coach Wendy and others at 8 pm EDT tonight. All are welcome

Reposting Bob cruise director's announcement about the 8:00 EDT session tonight.......(Did you see me, Bob? I'm ashore!)

Currently adrift and needing a nudge to shore. I have an idea but don’t know where the click is.

[JerryF]

Oh well, the ol' brain just can't get with it this week. Swimming back to the ship to commiserate at the bar. Maybe next week.

[Jedimaster]

I’m. Still struggling, anyone care to nudge me?

[CopperRiver]

My bracket’s out the window but at least I’m on the beach now! Kind of a tough one for me.

[aaugusti]

I’m. Still struggling, anyone care to nudge me?

I’m struggling too.

[Inca]

Solved

[Franklin.Bluth]

On vacation and unable to get to it till today...miraculously, I'm on shore. And in awe.

[CromsFury]

Solved*

*thanks to last minute Muggle Zoom Meeting (thank you EVERYone!)**

**It takes a village

[haydendog]

Also solved thanks to all the hints, nudges, and cheering on from fellow muggles on the zoom call. It DOES take a village sometimes!

[Colin]

Sunday evening,
Started and finished - ashore!
G and T for me!

I think you might have missed me, Bob. (#209)

[Lee-Ann]

Finally on shore! Took me a long time- many rabbit holes. Even after I got through the first step, it took me a long time to find the solution. Very happy to be ashore.

[grwinski]

Well, something submitted -- but with only a little rationale for our submittal.

Isaac's been awfully understanding, though....
