Hmm. On the board but not fully understanding. If you do fully understand, I bet you know what I'm missing. PM?

Edit: slaps head.

I did not realize that I was in the presence of greatness. #9 in 1 hour and 2 minutes after it came out. Was your cabana boy helping?

All submitters show up on the "Overall" tab in the leaderboard, while only correct submitters are listed on the "This Week" tab.

That's weird. So based on the 32 in the Overall and 28 in the This Week, there are 4 incorrect answers.

Seconded

Is "beam me up" what they say around these parts?

He LOVED the shirt, but he's too busy to be of any help.

Beam me up! Pending update, but I'm pretty sure I'll materialize in the right place. I wasn't overly distracted by rabbit holes, but I had one misconception that kept me from seeing the answer for a while. Good one!

Edit: Confirmed aboard!

Beam me up!

Awaiting confirmation, but confident.

EDIT: Confirmed!

I checked "group solve" because I needed a slight nudge to keep me on the path to the tele-porter.
