I had a good idea what the answer would be from the title and top section of the grid, but I'm not brave enough to actually submit without finishing the puzzle to be sure.

I submitted my confident answer but did not appear on the leader board. I emailed Pete. Apparently I had a typo but was correct. He gave me credit. Note to self- check your spelling!

Another easy one. I've heard their most famous song, but didn't know who the artist was until now. I still don't know what the title of the puzzle means.

Fun one. I figure I have about two more months (if that) before victory is no longer probable!

doh! I was "sure" of my first submission but after waiting overnight and not seeing my name on the leaderboard I finally realized it was wrong. And what the correct answer must be. I'll explain my mistake post-deadline.

Thanks, but ky-mike already explained to me what the title means, which would have been helped me solve the puzzle, but only a few minutes faster.hcbirker wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 9:38 amRemind me on Monday and I'll tell you.Eric Porter wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 11:07 pm Another easy one.

I thought I had a sure answer but a careful rereading of the instructions before submitting killed that one.
(PS I can’t believe the Rabbit Hole is actually a real place, and it turns out we live about 2 miles west of it.)

We are practically neighbors! I live half a mile northeast of it. The first time I walked past I HAD to snap a picture for my avatar. Though I am almost exclusively loyal to Isaac, I made a point of working on the WSJ puzzle there at least once.sharkicicles wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 5:48 pmI thought I had a sure answer but a careful rereading of the instructions before submitting killed that one.

And regarding the sure but wrong answer, I think I know what you're referring to. I also reread the instructions carefully and still thought mine could work... but I'd better say no more til Monday.

I was stuck at first and was starting to convince myself of a wrong answer. But it didn't feel right. Then I noticed something else and got the 100% answer. But I can't say more right now either.

This is like an extra bonus meta - figure out the answer that almost works but doesn't quite. I think I know what you all are talking about. Interesting discussion for Monday.sharkicicles wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 5:48 pmI thought I had a sure answer but a careful rereading of the instructions before submitting killed that one.

Submitted an answer which makes complete sense to me that appears to have been incorrect...
