I have a comment that would give it away, but when you solve it, you can infer, haha.
Excellent collab! Not ducking out of this one!

I was on the right path, but didn't try hard enough. Needed the nudges to set me right. Thanks, guys!

SSSolved without the nudges. I was as unfamiliar with a couple of the key words as I am with the Beethoven second, which nobody ever plays.

Oh hey, we're playing that in two weeks! (And I, uh, definitely remember how it goes, don't need to study up at all. Yep, definitely.) Oh, and friendly reminder to those in driving distance of Columbus, @Joe Ross is organizing a muggle meetup on May 17 to listen to it! Come hang out and say hello!Bird Lives wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 6:14 pm SSSolved without the nudges.

I didn't need the nudges. I also learned something, though it was just confirmation at that point. Thanks!

There is a funny story about 47A. Universal pictures filed a frivolous lawsuit against Nintendo claiming Donkey Kong was a copy of King Kong. Nintendo actually won the case because in an earlier suit Universal claimed King Kong was public domain, and well, you can’t have it both ways. 47A was one of the lawyers in that case and as a result Nintendo decided to name a game for him as a thank-you.

Solved yesterday without nudges....smooth sailing on the duck pond. Thank you Lydia and Phil!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Solved (sans nudges) this morning while enjoying my coffee. What a great way to start off the week! Thanks to both of you!

Did this easy-like-Sunday-morning meta yesterday, no nudges needed. Thanks for the fun! And good teamwork.
The other Wendy.

I think that means 70 total solves, and best of all, of those who submitted a meta answer, 100% got it correct! Solution reveal forthcoming later today.
