Put it down and do other things. Then do that again.

Sometimes when you see a week 4 where the only early solvers are in the "red 100" club, you think, "well maybe I'm not good enough to get this." What's weird with this one, Adam Doctoroff is the only "100" solver out of the first 39. Then there's a scattering of 100s, but mostly "regular" people. At one point there's 42 regular solvers in a row -- no 100s -- and then a cluster of 100s... so it's hard for me to see what kind of meta this is. Not asking for nudge, either now or later, just making an observation.

"Regular" people? You mean my 10.jpgcounts for nothing? Or am I, as they say in the stores where I do my clothes shopping, "slightly irregular"?

I have somewhat forced 2 potential methods that yield 5 sets of letters (or multiple sets of 5 letters), but all is jibberish. I’m starting to wonder if I’m missing some required familiarity with something foreign to me, such as sportsing or a pop song or a movie. I’ll keep staring at the grid and clues, but really... if it’s “easy” and I haven’t seen it, is this a waste of good weekend down time? (That’s often the question right before the light dawns, but i have so little to go on right now I think I’m just not cut out for this one.)
