Solved.
Needed an interwebs search to correct my grid mistake, which confirmed the solution & denied what I thought might have been a possible attempt at "words intended to deceive."

Beam me up! I'm not sure if I'm reassured or not that others (besides me) are still working on WSJCC...

Got it! Itโs very easy to rush into sending in an incorrect answer for this meta. Now if I could just figure out how to approach the WSJCC. Iโve explored a couple of rabbit holes to no avail. I even had a dream last night of a solving methodโdidnโt work!

Yah, it looks like at least one really experienced solver got it wrong. I guess I can kinda see what direction he or she may have taken, kinda sorta.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME - someone submitted for a correct answer at 12:00!!!!! So it came out, they hit the download button they printed it out and with the remaining 5 seconds before it ticked over to 12:01 solved it. It took Jangler 1 hr 2 minutes, obviously someone held him captive for 1 hour, 1 minute and 59 seconds. I'm depressed before I even start....
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Beam me up! Week one for sure, though I can see where some people could make an error in haste.

Ugh, I thought I had it really really quickly and just submitted, but now I'm nervous I did something stupid... anxiously waiting for the board to update....
EDIT: WHEWWWWWWW!

I got my email at 12:01 EDT so it would have been impossible to solve by 12:00. Perhaps some solvers have taken the path of flash traders and installed high speed lines to their bunkers outside Mattโs house. The little guy just canโt compete.DrTom wrote: โFri Jun 05, 2020 2:37 pm ARE YOU KIDDING ME - someone submitted for a correct answer at 12:00!!!!!
