MGWCC #804 — "Color Matching"


THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:

This week’s contest answer is an apt two-word, twelve-letter alternate title for this puzzle.

Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.

Question and Answer session with Matt Gaffney on Saturday, October 28, 7:30 PM ET.

This puzzle is not very colorblind-friendly.

LOL

Beamed thanks to another productive Discord group solve

On the board with some collaboration

Awaiting the beam! Tough puzzle, but a good click when it finally came together.

Edit: in at 19!

Very artfully built. One part of the solve i didnt especially enjoy, but a no doubter ultimately. #14 on the board.

I'm betting on a low solve submission number until Monday night after midnight (or Tuesday morning - when exactly does Halloween begin?), given the Solve On Halloween badge.

Beamed up with the help of discord. Very fun puzzle. Happy weekend all.

Saw what was going on, thought of a possible answer. Looked a bit longer and came up with the solution. Then when submitting, I read my notes a bit...wrongly. Ended up submitted something that got discounted. Even though I included in my submission a note describing how the solve is supposed to work. I know several people here have been granted a solve after making a silly submission mistake. Hope Matt changes his mind before Tuesday, or even by the Q&A tomorrow.

Edit: Apparently my answer, even if it had been correctly submitted, was still just a tiny bit off. So, note to self: check things more carefully before submitting!

Edit: looks like my answer was accepted on a later board update!

I might be in the same boat as you, Andrew. Got an answer that seemed so clearly correct that I didn’t bother to let it simmer like I normally would for a week 4. Super curious to learn what I missed!

Woohoo! Beamed up! #40 on the leaderboard. Solo solve on a week 4!

Beamed at #37. Totally forgot about the Halloween badge, ugh! Oh well, next year!

Tough one. I figured out something I thought was useful but that's as far as I got.

Beamed at #17!

Solved with collaboration. Submitted. Waiting to be beamed.

Edit: I may have jumped the gun. Looks as if I might have submitted an incorrect answer. But it must have been close, given the valid-seeming metanism.

Submitted and reasonably confident, but too much backsolving to call it a lock.

Probably just missed the last update of the evening and will have to wait till morning to see if I’m beamed up or scattered across the quadrant. Time for bed anyway.

Okay, it seems he's taking at least two answers this week. Flexible Matt.

Solo solve here, and feel *pretty* sure, but we shall see. This was tough… lots of distractions.

Update: yep!

Beamed!

With a bit of help.

Fun!
