Beamed up at #40, non-solo. I definitely needed Muggle help to get un-stuck - thanks!

Awaiting beam-up, I think! Not an easy one, but a good one.
Edit: #47, woo!

I too am curious about the Discord nudges that several posters referenced. Is this available to all? And if not, perhaps don't mention it on a public forum? Just sayin . . . .

Anyone who can actually have the patience to do this is a stranger person than I am. THrough nagging and hounding I got nudges so I now know EXACTLY how to do this. I have 4 days left to do it in. And if I don't do it I will lose a 20+ week streak.....
And I don't know if it's worth doing.
EDIT: Okay, I was missing one last thing. Hind sight: a clever puzzle but the hardest one I've ever seen. A good example of a week 6. Not sure how he thought it could be a week 3.
It could have had a few more hints dropped and to toss in a red herring on a puzzle this hard is just plain cruel.

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".

You might have gotten some... misleading information? Once I realized what to do, it was not difficult or time-consuming. The hard part was the realization.woozy wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 8:31 pm Anyone who can actually have the patience to do this is a stranger person than I am.

I got an “invalid address.” But I’m curious.

Beamed up! Thanks to @Meg for keeping me away from one rabbit hole and pursuing a more promising one. Not a week three in my opinion.

Ah, the meta solver's plaintive lament.
By the nature of the beast, there are always more holes than rabbits.
Oh, and its corollary - there is a direct correlation between creativity of the mind, and things that look like holes.
This one, like all the tough ones, is nefariously clever. Keep the faith!

Beamed. I needed a BIG kickstart but it was still a fun adventure.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

I could use a very slight nudge as well, if anybody feels charitable.
I’m stuck in a loop I can’t get out of…

With a LOT of help, I made it aboard. Or I will when the board gets updated. It's a 100%-er. But that took some WORK.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
