"Make It An Even Dozen" May 3, 2024

[DBMiller]

Late to the zoom and found out that what I though HAD to be the answer was not. A second deeper look has now shown me the correct answer.

My sincerest apologies for the page 1 infraction.

[dho]

Thanks Zoom, as always, for the nudges and the laughs. Always enjoyable

On a sunny shore.
Had the right answer, but for some reason didn't think it was correct.
Thanks to Zoom Room and Wendy for setting me straight. I tend to try to anagram everything, doh!

[chocoholic]

Solved with the help of the zoom call.
I certainly can't imagine any wine from that city, so it'll be a Pinot Noir from Napa Valley.

I definitely needed the Zoom crew's tireless assistance to keep me from drowning at sea this week.. yikes. Maybe starting the day with a team-building Escape Room activity siphoned too much of my brain juice? At any rate, now that I'm finally on the beach, I think it's time to enjoy some beverages that'll surely use up anything that's left.

Thanks to all and have a great weekend!

Another wonderful Friday Zoom session! Thanks everyone and have a great weekend!

[BarbaraK]

Amazingly ashore!!! This is the first one I’ve ever gotten since I’ve been at this for the last 4 months! It popped right out to me and, as I’ve said, that has never happened.

Woo hoo! Congratulations! And this was not an especially easy one. Welcome to the forum

[Darth]

On Naboo. Had my landing gear down early. Now cue up the "Imperial March" as I head over to the cantina. :lol:

While congrats are in order for making page one, I'm surprised you didn't wait until Saturday to post. Or maybe you'll post something special then?

"[Saturday's date] be with you!"

Thanks, and yes ... look out for "Revenge of the SiXth" in the coming week's Muggle Meta Mondays (MMM)

[jrdad]

On shore after pondering for a bit. Now I'm sure.

[Al Laubenstein]

Ashore with help from the zoomers.

[lxpeterson]

After searching for donuts and eggs in the grid, got pointed in the right direction and solved. Very nice construction

[Homer Buckle]

I do so love that Aha! moment. Especially when it comes when you aren't even thinking about the puzzle, but your brain starts assembling things for you! Time for a celebratory moment with a beverage from Scotland.

[Jeremy Smith]

On the beach! It took me a long while to see this. Not the fault of the puzzle, though. It was due to my having only a passing knowledge of what I needed to see on the first step.

[Char]

Ashore

[CPJohnson]

Got it, with Zoom crowd's suggestion. Thanks, all!

[RVAtoOBX]

I was definitely down a deep, dark rabbit hole until the Zoom call pulled me out. Thanks guys, I'm safely ashore now.

[PapZ]

Woo-hoo! Probs the fastest I've ever gotten it! I'm ashore. I'll have a Kona Longboard Lager, please.

[RobM]

On shore. Completed the grid on Thursday, but couldn't find a trail to follow. Then picked it up when I came home from work on Friday and saw correct path. Fun one.

[ron]

I have an answer that makes some sense but I wish it had more confirmation. If nothing else jumps by Sunday I'll go with it. I don't know what you call that - wading in the shallows?

I'll have to try that zoom call one of these days.

[LittleGood]

I'm currently on the boat, completely stuck on a seemingly empty rabbit hole.

The good news is that simply referencing census reports gives me a 1% chance with even a random "Hail Mary," so those are better odds than usual in my situation.
