#4 on the board (which I think is identical to my WSJ placement this week - Bobby Orr would be proud).

Good news bad news for me this week. I finally got my 1-Across achievement!! But I realized I didn't solve the non-Week 5 puzzle on October 2nd and now I can't complete all the achievements for another year

Squeaked into the top 20.

#32. A really fun puzzle! Now back to the Fireball meta.

Beam me up! Fun one.

In the top 50.

Fun one, though just as scary is that we're 3/4 through this journey! I came late to the game so I'm intent on savoring this final quarter!

Note to my loved ones:

Not the tombstone I'm hoping for....

Beam me up!

beamed.

Was that 28A is only available in Sept, and Oct. news to anyone else?

Pretty sure I'm beamed. Easy but not trivial.

Beamed up. Fun one.

Solved

#81. Nice square number

Beamed up. Fun one!

As for the 3/4 through the journey, is MGWCC only going to 1000? I've never known anything about this finite number before...

Fun! #92, at least I made the top 100.

Yes, he's explicitly said that the MGWCC is a 1000 puzzle series. Not sure when he announced that initially (probably before most of us started doing it!), but he's made occasional reference to it - see, e.g., puzzle 500, the solution to which was "Halfway There." So we've got 5 more years, give or take...

waiting for the official beam up.

But as usually I'm staring at the answer....not seeing it, bang my head again...not seeing it....walk away, and realize I utzed one part of it. cleared it up and now waiting for the beaming process.
