Beamed!
Very cool! Though I’ll be the first to admit, I probably would never have gotten this without the epic group solve on Discord. Also, the new title helped a bunch.

Wait... there was a group solve on Discord? I was going to suggest one.... Hmm... I've forgotten my Discord information....ChrisKochmanski wrote: ↑Sat Oct 29, 2022 4:58 pm Beamed!

So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

If anyone has a hint to offer, you will find me all ears. Hopefully, I've built up a little karma with my assistance on other puzzles.
At this point, I feel that I might as well be getting title hints to some completely unrelated puzzle.
Update: Having been escorted into the light, thanks to some extraordinarily kind solvers, who acknowledged that they, too, had been nudged to the reclamation of sanity, I ask one more kind favor - can anyone explain to me where there were any hooks into this meta-chanism? I feel as if I could have stared at this forever and never gotten there by anything but sheer brute force methods.
Thanks to my nudgers, you know who you are. I owe you another weekend's sanity.

Think I got it thanks to a nudge (you know who you are - thank you again!)
Gonna sit on it until Monday, though. Need that sweet sweet achievement and I botched the Tilghman one.
Edit: confirmed by my nudger. Still waiting for Monday.

I have many, many in-laws in Iowa on both sides of sides of an allegiance divide. All of them would agree that the clue for 41A is not correct

Thanks to a nudge forwarded to me. I’m awaiting beam up.
Yeah, never would have gotten it otherwise.
And I stupidly went and submitted it. So much for the badge! Hello rest of the weekend!
Now if only the Phillies could get at least 6 runs this inning….

I'm a bit late to the party, and have to admit the new title hasn't helped me, so I'm certainly open to a nudge if anyone's willing!

I'm with the group needing a nudge. This would be a good one for a zoom group think....

Beamed up. It took me hours, including sleeping on it, even after my nudge. I still cannot fathom how Matt constructed this.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

I see a couple of small things but they haven't figured in yet. Would appreciate a small nudge to point me in the right direction. And i thought week 3's were hard!
Edit: took a good nudge, but i got there.

I’d like to second, third and fourth this with the addition that my nudge was basically a shove to the finish.

I could use a nudge as well.
Not planning to submit, just being driven crazy by mental impotence!
I was guessing [redacted by mods] but got nuthin...

I did get a nice nudge and really appreciate it. I'm now looking at the puzzle with new eyes. Thanks so much for the help.

Beamed up at #36. Not sure I would have ever solved it with a nudge, though.

Boy, the nudges are that bad that they prevent you from solving?
