I had to cheat with the spoiler, but admire the construction. Unbelievable for a first try.

Got it with a nudge.

Thanks, Hector. That's very cool.

A couple others of us were PM-ing, and we agreed that this is a very strong first meta for Mikey. Maybe a different title, providing better direction, would have helped. Otherwise ... OK, maybe not Ted Williams in 1939, or Orson Welles with Citizen Kane ... but, yes, a contender for Meta Constructor Rookie of the Year!

I noticed the relevant stuff (among a bunch of irrelevant stuff, of course) but parsed it wrong and didn't solve the meta. Then MikeyG's comment made the answer obvious and Hector's spoiler allowed me to backsolve. (I'm afraid this might sound grumpy, but I'm not grumpy.) KAS 4.

I went back and did MikeyG's first three puzzles for research and I really enjoyed them, particularly the cluing.

I came late to this party and enjoyed solving the grid - the cluing for 27,41,and 42D in particular. I had a hunch about the answer (which turned out to be correct), but didn't see the mechanism until I read through some of these posts for the spoilers. And I never would have - a KAS5for sure. But I agree - a fun puzzle and a fantastic first meta!

At the risk of further aggravating Mikey's mother, I hope we see more from him on these pages!
