When what seemed the obvious second step led me to something that couldn't possible be right, I reached out to Will and told him what I'd seen and the ridiculous thing I was considering trying. He told me to not do ridiculous stuff and to stick with the obvious first step. So I looked again and realized that the part that could not possibly be part of anything was in fact part of something, and I promptly found the next step.BarbaraK wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:39 pm Hmm. I noticed something right before I needed to go make dinner, and I was sure that as soon as I got back to it, I’d have it. But now, after dealing with real life, I’m looking again, and what I saw absolutely has to be part of it, but it’s not going anywhere yet. Obviously more steps before or after. Hmm.
Then I tried a whole bunch of ways of getting a name out of that, and none of them worked (though some were amusingly close). Slept on it, still nothing, and was getting ready to write for another hint when I thought of one more thing to try, and it worked! Got a name! Got the right name!
What an excellent meta! Great job, Will!
