"12/26"

#1

Post by Abide »

Good morning Muggles! Many of us have been struggling with the MGWCC Week 4 over the holiday weekend. As we approach the end of the year, here's a meta that will hopefully get your confidence back. Submit your answer to me by PM or on Crosshare. During the week I will post a leaderboard and provide some nudges on Wednesday. Of course, Crosshare is the easiest way to submit.

But first, I'd like to thank the talented constructors who have donated their time and energy this year to the Monday Meta series. In order of 2022 contributions:

@Cap'n Rick - 14.333
@Bird Lives - 10.5
@Al Sisti - 6
@Abide - 5.833
@DrTom - 4
@Thurman8er - 2
@Schmeel - 2
@MarkWoychick - 2
@cbarbee002 - 1
@MikeyG - 1
@adamsimonlevine - 1
@benchen71 - 1
Muggle Zoom Team - 1
@Wendy Walker - .333

Plus special thanks to Joe Ross for the quality control.

And now on to the meta for 12/26:

The meta answer is a movie.

12/26 Crosshare

12/26 PUZ

12/26 PDF

12/26 spreadsheet

Contest deadline is this Saturday at 10pm EST. Random winner will receive the coveted Biloxi pin/pen set. Thanks to @damefox and Al for test solving.

If you enjoy solving on crosshare, help keep the site running by donating a few bucks.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Took me a couple of (hasty) guesses, but I'm off the couch! Excellent meta, Peter!

Figuratively off the couch ... but, in an attempt to recharge, this weary wassailer is literally back on it.
