XWord Muggles Forum

This week’s contest answer is an Oscar-winning actress of the 1970s.

Edit: solved and confirmed

#5 on the board (nice fast solve, Rich!). Liked this one.

I've got two possible answers... Better keep thinking!

Beam me up! Good one, felt a bit on the challenging side for week 2.

Just missed top twenty, but my streak is now at 50! Beam me up!

Now back to the WSJ stumper to see if I can figure out which directions to follow.

Energized! Agree a bit tricky for week 2.

Nice job, @RPardoe !

Solved, I think. Awaiting confirmation. Confirmed. Fun puzzle!

On the board! First time in the top 25!

This sounds like a 2.5, so I'll probably print it out. I solve Week 1's in Lite, print out Week 3+s, and make a call on Week 2 based on if it leans easier or harder (I'm sure you're enthralled).

Look forward to this one!

Should be beaming up shortly. Agree, a little tough for a week 2.

Edit: on the board!

Beam me up. At first I thought Reese Witherspoon might carry over from that other puzzle, but alas no candy. OTOH, I did sneak in ahead of Meg by two minutes.

I've beamed aboard. After taking what felt like a bit of a leap of faith.

IMO there are two legit answers, but one is more "70s". I don't think that's a spoiler but I defer to Moderator @BrianMac

Great job by Rich and Adam--two muggles in the top 5

I’m not sure I’d call it a week 2, but I have transported. I’m out visiting family and showed my sister-in-law how a meta works and what we have on the forum. Her eyes DID NOT glaze over! How sweet is that?

There is a way of resolving this.
I missed the method originally, so got lucky with my solve that I submitted the proper (and fully supported) answer.

Beam me up, SVP.

I don't see the possibility of two answers, but will keep my eye on the leaderboard.

EDIT: Confirmed.

I must have missed this too, because I submitted what I felt was the more "fitting" answer, but thought another answer would be equally valid. I'm on the board, but now I'm trying to figure out what I missed.

Solved

#51 the week I got my 50 badge. Too bad I wasn't 4 minutes faster but solved/submitted while playing online bridge.
