This week’s contest answer is what those who figure out this meta are.

On the board, #5. Glad to have it back on Friday. But just look at those cuties!

Bit week 2ish? Nice one.

Yeah, data is reading like Week 2. I like to print out Week 3 and 4 but do Week 1 and 2 in Across Lite. Might need to print this one out and chew on it, but I have faith it will come eventually!

Edit: Hope to be beamed up soon! That was a fun one!!

solved - cuties!

And solved. Agree w/ Hector on the week 2ishness.

So I've known about Ada Lovelace for decades -- besides knowing her from crossword-friendly first name, I also worked on the MIl-STD 1750a instruction set for Ada, the language that the Air Force was betting on as a universal language -- but I was today years old when I first found out that she was also Lord Byron's daughter.

Beam me up! I enjoyed this one.

All weeks are hard for me these days. Streak up to 1.

That was fun, and baby Aha (oops, I mean Ada) is as adorable as her big brother!

Beam me up! Fun!

Beam me up! Agree it was harder than a typical week one. What adorable kids!

Beam me up. I had to backsolve a couple bits that were outside my wheelhouse.

Beamed up. This felt harder than all of WSJ's February puzzles, so definitely not a week 1 for me.

I'm thinking I should start subscribing just for the family photos --
I like the way Ada's got a grid handy to practice with.........

I liked it a lot. Agree that it's a perfect Week 2, but I can't imagine the challenge of trying get the difficulty dialed in perfectly every week. Beam me up with my Topo Chico (it's only lunch time folks haha)

Fun. More like week 2? Beam me up!

Ditto. I also back-solved and beamed.

I was staring at this one for a while thinking “is this really a week 1”? Fun puzzle though and an unusual week 1 “aha” moment
