An excellent puzzle written by one of the innovators of the meta crossword format. It comes out every Friday at noon and increases in difficulty throughout the month. Available for modest subscription (worth every cent) here: www.xwordcontest.com
MGWCC #728 — Friday, May 13th, 2022 — “Scale Down”
Back on track with a Week 2 now after the weird 4-1-5 schedule of the last three weeks. And thanks for playing — Year 15 begins in a few weeks, and then we’ve got 5 more after that. I’m looking forward to it and I hope you are as well.
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
This week’s contest answer is something you might do while solving a meta.
The spreadsheet for this puzzle won't be available until tomorrow night, due to scheduling conflicts
I didn't try very hard to speed solve this. Maybe should have. I wouldn't have broken the top ten but I might have been in the 30s rather than the 60 spot.
Still I solved and submitted faster than I was able to post this message to the forum. What is up with the server this morning?

Not this meta.
Beamed up! #73. I have a better chance of getting to these right away when they're delayed, but of course the delayed ones are more difficult so it doesn't really make a difference :-)
Edit: Almost didn't notice that I got the (25), yay!
