I was wondering whether "No Clue" was an error to be taken literally.

In other news, I haven't sniffed the meta yet but I have plenty of free time today.

We'd have much better odds of winning if PGW gave a prize! PGW stickers would be cheap to mail.....😉
Then what would solvers be called... STICKLERS?

He does pop on the forum from time to time... and our "on shore/beam me up/off the couch.." could be "stuck the landing..." (i was gonna say "stuck it," but that could go so wrong so quickly).

I like “stuck the landing”. It means a perfect finish which makes more sense than the other phrases.

Hmm, I just submitted an answer including this commentary: "90% confident in [one word], 100% confident in [other word]." I guess I'll take another look for the 100% click.

Big thanks to Laura M for reading my seven crackpot theories via PM and telling me which two were worth pursuing!

Update: 10 minutes later, I figured out the 100% click. Love it.
