It appears to me that Matt has given us a "week 4" challenge. Cynthia is not pleased with my animalistic frustration! I have something with nowhere to go....

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ooh... so many rabbit holes!

But this time they look like rabbit holes and obviously go no-where.

But somethings got to work and it could be one of them... but each one has only one.... frustrating.

EDIT: Well, I have a hail mary pass but if it's it I'm missing something to lock it in. There's a lot pointing to this but it could just be self-fulfilling.

So.....

I have it with and 8% certainty!

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

On shore, finally. Tricky one! I'll experiment with a chocolate negroni, if you have any Creme de Cacao?
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Ashore! It took me longer than it should have to swim the last few yards due to a (small) red herring. This was a really good one, though. Cheers!

On shore! But feeling really off my game, oof. There's a thing that's either a coincidence or a nice little confirming piece, I'm choosing to interpret it as the latter.
