This one has me flummoxed! Wouldn't be so vexing if it was a week 4 or 5...but over 300 correct. Man talk about an off week. Still one more day to stare...

Still planetside. This will likely consume my day tomorrow after work.

Apparently I'm missing whatever lightbulb moment so many others have had. Would appreciate a nudge!

It seems I'm joining those asking for a subtle hint. I've been down so many trails, I'm lost in the maze.

Finally solved this morning after much staring this weekend. Had a costly grid mistake that left me puzzled longer than I should have been.

OK. There it is! I've never had so much trouble extracting myself from a rabbit hole. And something tells me this one was on purpose.
Beam me up!

Got to the end of the trail finally and agree with the constructor on what I had with the puzzle (though I was tempted to have a several fingers of bourbon at a couple of junctures and I know THAT wasn't what he meant). I'd love to say that I got it all on my own, but I got a hint I didn't even know was a hint (a "sublimudge"?) until the very obvious clue - that I'd skipped over in my hurry to initially solve - made me go HEY, wait a minute!!! Then the scales started falling away from my eyes and I could finally Sea. So, if almost 400 people decline the prize, and I am next in line, I will take it but will have an asterisk engraved on it to indicate "Beatles assistance" (I got by with a little help from my friends).

Oh, and once again Mr. Gaffney, and all your META creating ninja colleagues, how in the world do you DO that. I've tried, and came up with a simple one that made my head hurt trying to get it done and included clues that one would have to be familiar with the Apocrypha to get. So how you can hide things in plain sight and make the answer come out by using words, or words that refer to words, in the answer order I cannot fathom. Forget superheros that say "I'm BATMAN"; I think it should be "I'm MATTMAN" the PACED (anagram anyone?) crusader.

Don’t know if there’s an emoji for it, but it’s a number 3 on the Kas scale

This one is rapidly heading for a KAS4 for me. And I'm sure I won't want to talk about it. But there's still time for a 3, possibly a 2.BarbaraK wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 4:37 pmDon’t know if there’s an emoji for it, but it’s a number 3 on the Kas scale
