Confirmed

Same as many above. Got the first (and maybe second) step. But then... nope.

Beamed!

Submitted and very sure of the answer that I got with WAY too much prodding!

EDIT: In at 102 - with the aforementioned ton of help

Hooray! Confirmed on the board at #92 on the week 4! Thank you, Matt!

Beamed!

Can’t say I solved it alone. Lurking in the Discord helped.

Well, here comes my first request for a teeny nudge in that I want to know if Matt's hint is actually what I am 89.72% certain it does mean or does it actually mean something else. Just a simple yes/no answer...

*sigh*

I have gotten a bit further than Matt's first hint. I am going to keep trying. But, if Matt's second hint does not help I may seek further assistance.

Beam me up! I totally overcomplicated it at first. Too much knowledge can be a bad thing. Luckily @Meg helped me see the light.

Sheesh.

Beaming. No hints.

I need to take my own advice. Actually, I need to take the advice of the many muggles from whom I learned or should have learned.

Got it with @KayW's very gentle nudges. I had pieces in the wrong place and was pretty sure I had to carry something further which in reality had been completely done, and I had to move something else in a place I really didn't think of putting it.

It's fun and satisfying.

All done. No hints. Good one.I think that's my first solo week 4!

I can see that here. This has a lot of potential for rabbit holes if you're not careful, though I suppose all (non-Level 1!!) metas do!

Hint 2 is excellent IMO.

A fun puzzle! Had to fiddle with the final step a bit. I came up with an answer that would have fulfilled a different criterion. Anyone else did that?

Hint 1 was something I'd already found. Hint 2 got me there.

Since I didn't talk to anyone about it, does that count as a solo solve? Just curious what people think.

Very happy to get a week four even if I needed the second hint. Did not need the first one, had already seen what I needed to see. Just wasn’t sure what to do with it all.

An interesting one from Matt!

Stay well all

@Joe why would it not? I say yes!!

Nudged up.

I found most of the crucial pieces but got fixated on something for far too long. I got some advice on what NOT to look for. Eventually I saw a path to the answer. It was a sure thing and I beamed aboard. Looking back on my answer I noticed the correct path which made the answer a 100% lock. I wonder how many others may have leaped to the shortcut.

Using the shortcut gave me a reasonable answer that I was 80% sure of. It felt like a week 2 1/2 and I confirmed with someone before submitting. (So not a solo solve.)

The real path took more observation and work but gave a 100% answer. And I would say a week 4 rating was just about right.
