I really appreciate the solvings and especially the kind comments here and on Crosshare.
So far, 47 have completed the workout without supplemental oxygen (nudges).
I will post nudges tomorrow, or feel free to PM me earlier if you'd like.
Please let me know if I've missed anyone on the list below.
Thanks!

Getting off the couch -- is that a sport?
Terrific maiden voyage. And I agree, 33D is a gem.

Apologies for 3 duplicates this morning as a result of Muggle/Crosshare overlap.
You know who you are, and now I do too...

In the meantime, 4 additional players have joined, for a new total of 48.

Crossed the finish line thanks to a few nudges. Fantastic puzzle and I'm kicking myself that I didn't see it immediately. Hope you provide us with more puzzles. Thanks

Great first puzzle. Off the couch. Would have gotten off a lot sooner if I hadn't botched my complying with Nudge 3.

Nice debut, Mike! Fresh clueing. On that note, I should have solved this quicker than I did.
