LOL there was no hope for me on any of the Q1 clues. And Q3 was a completely lucky WAG.

Well, when you are tired and hung-over and just plain don't care, it's a lot less stressful to do these. You don't do as well, but if you just don't care....

My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".
