Grid got off to a quick start with the gimme at 41D. Meta seemed too easy for week 4, and I wondered about a pageant, so I set it aside for a day. But I decided that that was it; Matt's probably lulling me into a false sense of security ahead of next week.
Beamed out, but still on the WSJ lost at sea cruise.

Beam me up! (After a slight nudge that left me frustrated that I hadn't put the pieces together earlier.)

Good evening! Iโve got a theory that Iโd like to check if anyone is willing to humor me. Thanks!

I'm suggesting that we're (I don't mind admitting to talking in the 3rd person, if need be) a superstitious lot!

i've been stuck for hours on what i'm sure must be the first step but am equally sure is not the first step because it doesn't seem to lead to anywhere. would anyone be kind enough to be a sounding board or offer a small nudge? thanks in advance!
update: pretty sure i have it after a nudge ... off to submit

If someone's willing I'd be interested in a nudge. I have only a tiny weird thing so far that may be nothing but maybe something.

I'm obsessed with a glaring peculiarity that I think would have to point me towards something, but I might at this point be too far gone into the "I cannot unsee it yet I don't know what to do with it thus I'm doomed" zone. A good night's sleep and a freshly printed grid might help tomorrow.

I think I know exactly what you mean. I too saw something similar and I have no idea how it ties into any of the long answers or anything else.burak wrote: โSun Oct 25, 2020 11:30 pm I'm obsessed with a glaring peculiarity that I think would have to point me towards something, but I might at this point be too far gone into the "I cannot unsee it yet I don't know what to do with it thus I'm doomed" zone.

Beam me up. Those peculiarities are key (assuming that we are talking about the same ones). The meta is a 100%er once you see it.

Would love a little nudge here. I see one glaring peculiarity as well, and I'm obviously not interpreting the long answers correctly so far.

After going down in flames on the WSJCC, I would appreciate a nudge as well.
Edit: Got it after a nudge!

Okay, after a solid 3 days of effort I'm running up the white (maybe gray?) flag and requesting a kind nudge.

I'm not quite ready to give up so I'd love a (gentle) nudge as well, if anyone's willing.

So, I feel like I have two parts of the solution, but no way to force them together
Anyone feel like giving me a nudge?
Thanks

Eleventh hour request for a nudge, please, if anyone sees this on time!

I would love a last-minute nudge as well if anyone is looking right now, not quite ready to give up entirely!

Panic setting in after building up a nice streak - my hunch hasn't led anywhere yet so would love a last minute nudge please.

I was close on this one... noticed the 0-9, lamented that there was no square 0, noticed that "TRITE" made more sense than "RITE", but didn't connect the dots. Someday I will (hopefully) start putting these together.
