Got nothing so far. Well, a few rabbit holes.

But I'm hoping something springs to mind, to which I will be eternally grateful.

Between Mikey, Muller and Meller, I’m digging in no end of rabbit-holes. Some are quite promising buuuuuuuuut…

I can help you with one of those but not the other! Hope is not springing eternal (yet), but I have plenty of time...only looked at it after solving for about 30 minutes or so with no promising leads yet.

First year doing these and trying to think if I want to tackle the red herring or mega-meta. Jury will reconvene on that later. Fun puzzles so far, though!!

Finally saw it. It was frustrating since I had all these rabbit holes yet kept coming up empty.

But sometimes, if you stare at everything long enough, it all comes together in the end.
